Pumping out an impressive 5000 liters of hot steaming water a minute, Yubatake is the largest producing hot spring in Japan. The water reaches 70 degrees Celsius and is cooled down by wooden conduits then distributed to Japanese style hotels (Ryokans) and public bath houses in the region.
The camera moves back and forth giving you a full view of the spring as it washes over its cooling conduits and the surrounding hotels and shops. Visitors are blocked from visiting the spring by a small gate but are able to sit and enjoy its beauty and the heat from the steam behind the gate.
