Unazuki Onsen (宇奈月温泉, Unazuki onsen) is a hot spring resort located in the city of Kurobe, Toyama Prefecture, Japan, at the entrance of the Kurobe Gorge.[1]
Unazuki Onsen was opened in the 1923 Taisho period. Over the years, many poets and writers have visited the thermal springs.[1] There are Ryokan and hotels along the Kurobe River. Unazuki onsen is a sightseeing base of Kurobe Gorge Railway.[2] Unazuki onsen shares the hot spring water with the nearby Kuronagi Onsen by a 7 km water pipe.
Unazuki Onsen Ski Resort was opened in 1956.
Nearby in the Unazuki International Center is the Selene Museum of Art. The collection features work by Japanese artists; much of the work focuses on the natural environment of the Kurobe Gorge.[3]
Along the Kurobe River, there are 20 spring sources where the mineral water flows from the ground.[3]
The clear mineral water emerges from the source at 98 °C, pH8.15; the water has a mild sulfur smell.[citation needed]
A communal soaking pool is located in front of the railway station, along with a foot bath.[3]
