Mt. Mitsuishi

It is located approximately in the middle of the Ura-Iwate Mountain Range course that runs from Mt. Iwate to Hachimantai. It is a mountain where sticky lava erupted from the center of the gently sloping mountain, and its name comes from the fact that the area around the summit looks like three peaks from any direction. Mitsuishi Sanso is located in Mitsuishi Wetland, which has a pond and wetlands. Altitude: 1,466m. The Amihari course is suitable for the general public, starting from Amihari Onsen, passing through the Mitsuishi Wetlands, and then reaching the summit of the mountain.

Kunimi Onsen

A famous hot spring in Michinoku located at Kunimi Pass at the southern foot of Mt. Komagatake on the border with Akita Prefecture. There are Ishizuka Ryokan, Mori Sanso, and Kunimi Sanso (day trip). It has the efficacy of both sulfur spring and hydrogen carbonate spring, and even among sulfur springs, it is hydrogen sulfide type. Yuiro is famous for its rare green color. When I took a little bite, I was surprised at how bad it tasted. The hot springs are 100% fed directly from the source and are yellow-green in color, with a strong smell of hydrogen sulfide. A lot of Yunohana is precipitated. The source is 50 degrees, and 200L gushes out per minute. It is very popular among mountain climbers, hot spring enthusiasts (due to the special quality of the water), and spa visitors.
