Yura Onsen is a hidden gem nestled near the shores of the Sea of Japan in Tsuruoka, Yamagata. Known for its cold mineral springs, it's especially popular during the summer months due to its proximity to Yura Beach, famous for its white sands and shallow waters. A notable nearby attraction is Yaotome Bay, a large sea cave steeped in local legend. The Yura Onsen area offers a variety of accommodations, including traditional ryokans and smaller minshukus.
