Sugawa Onsen, located at the northern foot of Mt. Kurikoma at an altitude of 1,125 meters, is a hot spring that gushes out 6,000 liters per minute. It has a long history and has been popular as one of Michinoku's famous hot springs for over 300 years since the Tokugawa period. The spring quality is a highly acidic alum-green spring, which is rare even in Japan, and has been popular with many people since ancient times for its therapeutic treatments, as it is particularly effective for rheumatic diseases and chronic poisoning. We also recommend the 1000-person bath, the family bath, and the famous Oiran bath (steam bath) amidst the magnificent nature.
