【DETAILS】

We bring you a new winter activity named "Snow Onsen Trekking," established in Osaki City, which has the longest history and tradition in the Tohoku Region.  The city boasts various kinds of hot springs and beautiful nature and attracts many tourists. 

After changing into a wet suit at a nearby inn, you will go around a special area where a wide variety of hot springs gush out in different forms. The participants of the tour will explore the natural mountain streams created by rivers flown from the deep mountains and hot spring waters joined together. Watch the powerful eruptions of the geyser up close! The boiling water shot up to 20 meters high with a roar is comparable to a dragon ascending to heaven, which is the iconic scene of this area. At the end of the tour, jump into the warm basin of the hot spring and say "cheese!" for a memorable photo of your experience! 

After the experience, you can enjoy bathing in the nearby hot spring, said to be good for health and beauty. We highly recommend you to try this brand-new, luxurious tour, in which you enjoy both the coldness of Tohoku Region and the warmth of the hot spring!
