The autumn foliage of Urabandai in the northern part of Fukushima Prefecture is spectacularly beautiful. We recommend the Urabandai Lake Resort Geihinkan. The crimson mountains reflected on the lake surface are a stunning sight. The hotel is luxuriously decorated and features numerous artworks and works of art. The open-air bath surrounded by the autumn foliage is the best.

In the Tohoku region, Naruko Gorge in Miyagi Prefecture is covered in beautiful autumn leaves and is Breathtaking view. I recommend the nearby Naruko Hotel. It is a long-established hot spring Ryokan (Japanese inn) that was founded 140 years ago. It is about a 3-minute walk from JR Naruko Onsen Station. It has the largest bathtub in the Naruko Onsen area and also has a variety of open-air baths with different themes. It is interesting to see how the color of the hot spring water changes subtly depending on the outside air and humidity. The food Buffet was very satisfying, with plenty of local dishes such as salt-grilled sweetfish and local sake. There are many tourist spots around the hotel, such as Naruko Onsen Shrine and the dam, so we enjoyed it thoroughly.

How about Aoni Onsen in Aomori Prefecture? It is located a short distance from the roadside station "Niji no Lake." It is a independent guest cottages mountain village, with only farms and a few fields within a 2km radius. Various trees around the inn are changing color in autumn. You can see the natural scenery. Although it is a small, rustic inn, there are four baths, so you can Visiting hot springs in every spot.

名勝・厳美渓のすぐそばにある岩手の旅館です。温泉は広い内湯に露天風呂。天然温泉で、檜を使った浴槽でおススメですよ。お食事には岩手の名産前沢牛や、三陸でとれる海の幸があってどれも美味しかったです。厳美渓では川に渡してある紐に乗って団子が運ばれてくる郭公だんごを楽しむこともできますよ。

宮城県の北西部にある温泉地にあるリゾートホテルです。この周辺は、紅葉の名所で、とてもきれいです。特に鳴子峡の紅葉は絶品です。ゆったり散策しながら眺められることをおすすめします。散策された後の、食事、温泉は格別かと思います。
