Shirabu Onsen

Discovered 700 years ago, this famous hot spring was once counted among the "Three Famous High-Altitude Springs of Oshu." Traces of the Edo period remain throughout, including inns with massive thatched roofs and the powerful "Hot Spring Waterfall." Serving as a trailhead for the Azuma Mountain Range, it deeply integrates traditional hot spring culture—perfect for soothing fatigue after a climb—with the quiet spirit of the mountains.

Mt. Azuma

Mt. Azuma, towering on the border of Yamagata and Fukushima prefectures, is a sacred sanctuary of untouched nature and legends, particularly on its Yonezawa side. With a series of peaks reaching 2,000 meters, the mountain displays dynamic seasonal faces—from early summer when alpine plants bloom in profusion, to the fiery colors of autumn, and winter with some of the world's heaviest snowfall. Dotted along its slopes are the unique hot springs known as the Yonezawa Eight, where ancient Japanese hot spring healing cultures still thrive in open-air baths set against sheer cliffs or overlooking waterfalls. Feeling the pulse of nature...

Ubayu Onsen Masugataya

Located at an altitude of 1,300m and surrounded by rugged rock faces, this is the "ultimate hidden hot spring." Since its discovery in 1533, the open-air baths perched on deep mountain cliffs offer an extraordinary world that feels like a dwelling place for mountain hermits. Immersed in white, cloudy waters with the scent of sulfur, you can feel the raw energy of vast, unobstructed nature.
