Über Shonai Town Gallery Onsen
"Shonai Town Gallery Onsen Machiyu" in Shonai Town, Higashitagawa District, Yamagata Prefecture, is a bathing facility that blends modern design with art. Its signature natural hot spring is a simple alkaline spring that is gentle on the skin, offered as free-flowing water straight from the source. The sauna is a full-fledged Finnish-style sauna, introduced for the first time in Yamagata Prefecture, and features a powerful auto-löyly that activates every 30 minutes. The steam gently envelops the entire body and encourages pleasant perspiration. The cold plunge bath uses a free-flowing mix of spring water and tap water, and the seasonal changes in water temperature are part of the appeal. There is also a gallery inside the facility, allowing guests to refresh both body and mind while surrounded by art.
