Yamanokami Onsen, Hanamaki South Onsenkyo, Iwate
Yamanokami Onsen Nagomi-no-Yu
A modern, easy-to-use day spa if you want a sauna, meals and a comfortable place to rest. Choose Fujisan instead if source-flowing details are your priority: Nagomi-no-Yu has not documented every pool as using the same five-source setup as the main Yukaen hotel.

How to read a bath profile
Spring-source temperature and actual bathing temperature are kept separate. Each score is shown independently for comparison rather than collapsed into one overall score.
