JR Joban Line Yumoto Station Down Platform Ashiyu

A footbath on the down platform of Yumoto Station on the JR Joban Line, with a hand bath alongside. It takes about ten people at a time and can be used without leaving the ticket gates, so you can step off, soak for a while and catch the next train. The water is hot spring water from the Iwaki Yumoto area, fairly hot, with a faint sulfur smell. Bring a towel; without one you wait for your feet to dry. It is kept clean and is a pleasant way to pass a wait, especially in winter.
