My Recommendations for Local Attractions and Must-See Local Tourism Information

When it comes to hot springs in Iwate Prefecture, the inland Hanamaki Onsen and the hot springs around Mt. Iwate are well-known, but in Kuji City, where I live, there is a new hot spring in the Northern Rias that is currently becoming a hot topic among travelers. There is Yamane Onsen “Beppin no Yu”.
What is “Beppin”? In 1991, Hisaya Morishige visited Yamane when he stopped at Kuji while sailing around Japan on his yacht. Mr. Morishige was deeply moved by the simple humanity of this mountain village, and praised Yamane as “Beppin Village.” This led to the name Beppin no Yu.
Boasting the highest pH value of 10.5 in Iwate Prefecture, as well as in the Tohoku region, it is rich in radon content and is an alkaline simple sulfur cold mineral spring that is known for its smooth and smooth beauty. Effective for diabetes, neuralgia, and chronic skin diseases. This is a hot spring that is particularly expected to have a “beppin” effect.
There are even some secret fans, and I always go to Beppin no Yu on my days off.
This is my favorite hot spring.

Short Message

I am really glad that I got the job as a bus guide.
This is because we are able to experience the four seasons, appreciate the wonders of nature, guide our customers to various tourist spots, and create fun and wonderful memories with them.
I love interacting and connecting with people, so I’m always walking around and doing things with my customers.
By looking at it, touching it, and feeling it together, you can learn for yourself and gain the trust of your customers.
I will continue to be grateful for Iwate Prefecture’s oceans, mountains, rivers, history, and hidden attractions.
Above all, I would like to introduce you to the hot springs that I love so much.
