Aomori · Tohoku
A single ryokan on the Sea of Japan coast near the foot of the Shirakami-Sanchi range, famous for a gourd-shaped open-air rotenburo built directly at the waterline — bathers soak with waves breaking meters away and the sun setting into the sea. Iron-rich water turns reddish-brown on contact with air.
Usual hours — confirm with the official site for holidays + seasonal closures.
How to get there
JR Gonō Line (Resort Shirakami scenic train recommended) to Henashi or Wespa Tsubakiyama Station, then walk or hotel shuttle (reservation required).
