About Yu-no-Hata Park

Hello, this is Asukarando, a writer for SaruKuma.

Today I’m introducing Yamaga, Yamaga City‘s
Yu-no-Hata Park.

Yu-no-Hata Park sits right in the middle of the hot spring district along Yamaga’s historic Buzen Kaido road.
And just across the street is the famous “Sakura-yu” bathhouse!

There’s a bus stop here, and a covered information area with a roof for shelter.

The information area has several vending machines, with so many drink choices you’ll have trouble deciding!

Restrooms include a spacious accessible/multi-purpose toilet.
The exterior blends beautifully with the traditional streetscape of Yamaga (^^)

For parking, there are several coin-operated lots nearby.
It’s a bit of a walk if you have small kids in tow, but the Yamaga Buzen Kaido Parking lot is free.

But don’t worry! There are shallower spots too (^^)

Walking is OK?

Yes — you can even do a walking footbath here!
Just be careful not to slip and splash water on your clothes (((^^;)

After your footbath, there are benches where you can sit, dry your feet, and put your shoes back on (^^)
