Yamabushi Onsen Yupoka in Tsuruoka: \u00a0A place to relax (and more) after climbing Mount Haguro<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n

Most people feel tired after climbing Mount Haguro, one of the Three Mountains of Dewa (also known as Dewa Sanzan). However,\u00a0a short drive away, Haguro (the village where Mount Haguro is located) offers a nice place where\u00a0you can relax your body and mind\u2014and have a beer or two.<\/p>\n

Yamabushi Onsen Yupoka\u2014better known as simply Yupoka\u2014is a popular gathering spot for locals and\u00a0some\u00a0yamabushi<\/em>, Japan’s mountain ascetics, who come to Dewa Sanzan to embark on a mountain pilgrimage and venerate their deities.<\/p>\n

Yupoka\u00a0is an insider’s tip as there is\u00a0no mention of the place in the English-language tourism brochure of Haguro but\u00a0those who find it will be treated to a majestic setting for a dip in hot water, which is what most people come to Yupoka for.<\/p>\n
