Semi Onsen

Kitakami City

Southern Iwate

It has four hot springs, including ``Yume-no-Yu'' and ``Semi-no-Yu'', and ``Bijin no Yu'' is especially popular among women because it leaves their skin smooth after bathing. Irihata Dam is lit up from July to August, and the view from the open-air bath will transport you to a fantastical world. Focusing on fresh eel and river fish dishes, you can enjoy wild vegetable dishes in spring and mushroom dishes in autumn.

Swan flying area (new embankment/Sango Bridge)

Swans begin flying around the new embankment and Sango Bridge (Kitakami River) from around late October, and stay until around April of the following year. More than 1,000 swans spend the winter here each year, bringing a sense of peace to visitors. The number of visitors is the highest in the prefecture. To get to the new embankment, take the JR Tohoku Shinkansen Kitakami Station and get off at the Iwate Prefectural Transportation Kitakami Noh High School/Hikashita Line Minami Junior High School bus stop.
