About 830 years ago, a party of the samurai warrior Minamoto Yoshitsune was making its way to Hiraizumi in Iwate, hounded by the forces of his brother Yoritomo. According to legend, when Yoshitsune's son, Kamewakamaru, was born during the journey, his companion Benkei went searching for water to bathe the newborn and discovered the Semi Onsen hot springs. Close your eyes while immersed in the bath, and you will hear the babbling of the Oguni River through the steam.
What is special about outdoor baths is that you can feel pleasant breezes and enjoy stargazing while bathing. Relax to the sound of the Oguni River while immersed in a bath that looks out onto a garden, and feel the refreshing air of the outdoors. Let your body loosen up in hot spring waters while enjoying a view that changes with the seasons: green foliage in spring, the chirps of insects in summer, colorful leaves in autumn, and snowfall in winter.
Enjoy the view of nature that changes with the seasons through a wall of windows, while soaking in hot waters that are supplied by a continuous flow directly from the source. Immerse your body in an onsen-filled pool while relaxing and chatting with fellow bathers. It is also an intriguing experience to hear the babbling of the Oguni River while sitting in an outdoor bath.
