The seven wooden pipes stretching out in the middle of the picture are the old devices to produce a sulfurous hot spring deposit called Yunohana by cooling hot water from the source. The common name of yubatake, literally a 'hot spring field', comes from a place to collect Yunohana. Yunohana were used for bug killers or bleaches and now they are sold as bath additives. This Yubatake is very well known as a symbol of Kusatsu onsen, though there are many onsens and yubatakes in Japan. In the evening, a crowd of people enjoying a walk with a Yukata, an informal cotton kimono after a bath, can be seen around here.
