The modern facility is fully equipped with facilities perfect for those who want to enjoy hot springs to the fullest, including saunas, cold baths, jet baths, open-air baths, and electric baths. Soaking in hot water while gazing at the mountain range of the Kitakami Mountains will wash away the fatigue of the day. The slightly alkaline hot water is effective against neuralgia and joint pain, and also makes your skin smooth.

Miyata Onsen

Miyata Onsen can be reached by crossing a mountain pass from Ichinohe Interchange or Joboji Interchange. It stands in a blessed environment surrounded by trees and a clear stream where you can catch rockfish. The quality of the spring water is said to be ``beauty hot water'' as it contains a large amount of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and has a smooth texture. It is also relatively high in salt, which is effective against rheumatism. It also has a high carbon dioxide content, which improves blood circulation and warms the body. There are even regular customers who come from nearby towns on a regular basis.
