Minamisanriku Hotel Kanyo is a large hot spring hotel in Minamisanriku Town, Motoyoshi District, Miyagi Prefecture, boasting a spectacular location that juts out toward the Pacific Ocean. The open-air bath fed by Minamisanriku Onsen, which gushes from deep underground, offers an infinity hot spring experience that feels as if you are becoming one with the sea. While seabirds soar overhead, you can enjoy a luxurious soak while gazing at the panoramic view of Shizugawa Bay spread out before you. The large public bath is also equipped with a scenic sauna, where you can look out over the calm sea through the windows. Although there is no cold plunge bath, you can refresh yourself with a cold water shower and a pleasant outdoor air bath in the open-air area, where the sea breeze washes over you.
