This onsen ryokan is located at the foot of the Shirakami Mountains. Many guests visit the ryokan to enjoy the open-air bath on the edge of the waves, only one meter from the ocean. The name "Furofushi Onsen" was given to the inn based on the founder's wish that "if you cure yourself here, you will never grow old or weak. 
The baths are extraordinary when taking a bath while watching the sunset, turning everything as far as the eye can see into a golden hue. The reddish-brown water, which is rich in iron and salt, has a sterilizing effect on wounds and smooths the skin, allowing you to enjoy the hot spring water from the source to your heart's content.

One-day bathing is also available, so it is nice to stop by and soak in a hot spring on the way home from a road trip. [Open 8:00am-3:30pm for Roten-buro(open-air baths), 8:00am-6:30pm for Uchi-buro(indoor baths) in winter, 8:00am-7:30pm in summer]

Dinner is also popular, with seafood purchased from local Amimoto (fishermen) and prepared in a way that makes the most of the ingredients only a fishing town can offer. All guest rooms face the Sea of Japan, allowing guests to spend a relaxing time while enjoying the view of the ocean spread out before them.

Highlights

  • Open-air baths are so close to the ocean that the waves lap against them.
  • Seafood dishes unique to a fisherman's town can be enjoyed.
  • The open-air baths near the lapping waves are closed in case of high waves or other bad weather (day-trip use is from 8:00am~4:00pm; reception from 8:00am~3:30pm).
  • All guest rooms have a view of the Sea of Japan.
