The onsen has multiple names which alludes to its dual history as a popular onsen for the travelling pilgrims on the nearby Haguro mountain which houses the Dewa Sanzan shrines and for the local people in the surrounding area. The locals seem to refer to it simply as Yupoka onsen.
Yupoka onsen is accessed by catching the bus form the number 2 stop at Tsuruoka station bound for Haguro and getting off at the Community hall stop. The onsen is right next door.
Although the décor has been upgraded to suit modern tastes, the ambience is still one of a relaxed village onsen with the patrons being overwhelmingly local.
