Aone Onsen (青根温泉) is one of Miyagi most historic spa villages in the volcanic zone between the Zao massif and the Sendai hills, established by the Date clan as an aristocratic retreat in the early Edo period, and the sulfurous blue-green spring waters have been prized for skin therapy for over 400 years.
