Lead Onsen, nestled in the back of Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, is a remote hot spring known for its long history and abundant hot water. Among them, Fujisan Ryokan is a longstanding inn that boasts charming open-air baths that make use of the rock formations.
The specialty of this inn is the open-air bath called "Shirasaru-no-Yu." The standing bath, with a depth of 120cm, has a divine atmosphere created by the sculpted rock texture. It's a luxurious experience to feel the texture of the rocks while soaking in the bath.
The transparent hot water has a moderate heat and a soft touch, making it a delightful experience. It is recommended to slowly immerse yourself and enjoy the water overflowing from the rocks.
In addition to the Shirasaru-no-Yu, there is a natural hot spring indoor bath with flowing spring water that quietly springs up along the stream, allowing you to enjoy a quiet bath. Mixed-gender bathing is possible, so it's one of the attractions that can be visited casually outside of the designated female-only hours.
Even non-staying guests can take advantage of the day trips for bathing, so why not indulge in this hidden gem of a bath in the back? Surely, you'll experience an exceptional bathing experience in the tranquility created by nature.
