5 Secluded Onsen Hot Springs in the Tohoku Region: Enjoy Awe-Inducing Views of Wintery Steam
Japanese people have a great love for hot springs, which are often featured in TV shows and magazines. During the vacation season, these resorts are usually crowded with visitors. In the mountainous areas of Japan's Tohoku region, there are many secluded onsen hot springs, known as "hitou." The waters of these hitous have excellent qualities that warm anyone who visits them. Here, we will introduce the top five must-visit secret onsen in the region, as chosen by one of our writers who is a huge Tohoku fan. Surrounding oneself with a snowy and steamy landscape is truly an extraordinary experience! Since many of these hot spring resorts are situated in nature, we recommend traveling by car.
