Shin'onsen, Thermal resort town in northern Hyogo Prefecture, Japan
The Shin'onsen territory extends over 241 square kilometers near the Sea of Japan, with mountains, rivers, and several natural hot springs throughout the region.
The region gained recognition in 1891 when Nishihama received town status and changed its name to Hamasaka, later merging with Onsen to form Shin'onsen in 2005.
The thermal waters of Yumura reach 98 degrees Celsius, allowing visitors to participate in the local tradition of cooking eggs and vegetables in the springs.
The town maintains six elementary schools, two middle schools, and multiple railway stations along the San'in Main Line for transportation across the region.
The San'in Kaigan Geopark encompasses the entire town territory, featuring geological formations, mountain ranges, and coastal landscapes.
