【Maga Hot Spring】
Maga Hot Spring, the southernmost of the Yubara Hot Springs, has a historical atmosphere. This bath is unique because its depth of 1.3 meters means that people must stand whilst taking a bath.

【Taru Hot Spring】
Many people who suffer from cuts or skin diseases visit this hot spring hoping to alleviate their ailments. Taru ('foot') also means barrel and the name of this hot spring is derived from the story that the hot spring water here used to be sent in barrels so that injured samurais could heal their wounds.
