The Sendai clan's "Kakushiyu" healed many cultural figures.

If you proceed further towards Yamagata City from ''Homei Shijuhachi Falls'', you will find ''Sakunami Onsen'', which is known as ''the back parlor of Sendai''. The hot spring opened in 1796 (Kansei 8). Known as the "hidden bath" of successive Sendai feudal lords, it has been loved by many cultural figures, including poet Shiki Masaoka, poet Bansui Doi, and manga artist Ippei Okamoto, father of artist Taro Okamoto. The soft, skin-friendly hot water at Sakunami Onsen is also known as the ''beauty-making hot spring,'' warming your body from the core. There are many hot spring inns in the area, each with their own unique baths. We cater to a wide range of customers, whether you want to spend a quiet and relaxing time surrounded by nature, or enjoy a variety of baths with friends or family. There are some facilities where you can not only stay overnight but also take a day trip to the baths, so it's fun to visit the hot springs.

This winter, why not take a relaxing drive to experience the power of nature at Otori Shijuhachi Falls and enjoy a snowy bath at Sakunami Onsen?
