A beloved "atsumari onsen," with an amber-colored chloride spring and a full-scale sauna

Yamagata Kahoku Town

"Benibana Onsen Hinano Yu" is a day-use hot spring facility in Kahoku Town, Yamagata Prefecture. It is known as one of the best "atsumari onsen" in Yamagata Prefecture, and its amber-colored sodium chloride spring warms you right down to your core. The sauna room is a dry sauna with convection heating, allowing you to work up a good sweat at a relaxed pace in a calm atmosphere. After the sauna, cooling down in the crisp, cold water bath is especially refreshing. The indoor bath area is also equipped with chairs for resting, so you can enjoy a relaxing time while looking out over the garden. The lodging facility "Hinano Yado" is adjacent as well, making it an ideal base for sightseeing.
