Sansuikaku

The main inn of the Osawa Onsen complex in Hanamaki, sharing access to the mixed outdoor riverbank bath (Osawa no Yu) with the Tojiya annex next door. The alkaline simple spring is gentle on skin. The complex sits along the Toyosawa River, and the outdoor bath in snow with mountain and river views is a recurring highlight in guest accounts. The area has a Miyazawa Kenji connection that lends it a quiet literary flavor.
