Hakuba Ryujin Onsen (Aomori Prefecture)
Hakuba Ryujin Onsen is a day trip onsen facility guaranteed for its hot spring quality. It is located in the suburbs of Hirosaki City, a place famous for the Hirosaki Castle and its cherry blossom festival. The large communal bath here is a sight to behold. The rich natural spring water flows continuously from the source, and its mineral content has deposited and hardened on the floor over the years, forming a rough texture that resembles the scales of a dragon. If you want to relax in private, you can use one of the 6 spacious private baths. After experiencing the power of this onsen, why not rehydrate yourself with a glass of famous Hirosaki apple juice?

The 100% free-flowing spring is poured into the bath straight from the source without prior contact with the air, so you can experience its natural quality and efficacy directly. The place also has a popular restaurant that serves Indian curry, soba noodles, jingisukan mutton barbecue, homemade drinks, and other healthy and delicious dishes. There is also an esthetic and massage salon, so you can spend an entire day refreshing your body. This is a great place to enjoy an onsen in a unique location.
