Ryokan Onuma

Northern Honshū (Tōhoku)


Alight the train at Naruko Goten-yu and walk 500m west until you reach this peaceful ryokan with an indefatigable staff who will soak, feed and replenish you in style. Each room has access to its own private onsen bath, plus there is an outdoor onsen on the forest floor. Rooms are large and spotless.
