Directions

By Train

Get yourself to Yunoyama Onsen (湯の山温泉) Station on the Kintetsu Yunoyama Line. You have first get to Kintetsu Yokkaichi and then transfer to the Yunoyama Line and ride it the whole way.

From Yunoyama Onsen Station, take a Sanco bus bound for Yunoyama Onsen. When you walk out the gate of the station, the bus will be waiting right there maybe 100m out the ticket gate. They are generally already waiting there when the train arrives. Ride to the last stop which is where the ropeway and onsen village are located, as well as where all the hiking trails start.

By Car

Take Route 477 west from the Yokkaichi (四日市) Interchange on the Higashi Meihan. You'll drive through Komono, and after passing through the town make sure to follow signs for Yunoyama Onsen. There will come a point where you have to get off Route 477 because it will head to a series of tunnels to the other side of the mountain, so watch for signs. If you pass Yunoyama Onsen Station, you're headed in the right direction.
