Kagobo Onsen Sakura no Yu, in Ōsaki, Miyagi Prefecture, uses sodium-chloride water at 41°C, with an indoor bath, outdoor rotenburo and sauna.
Insider tip — Sakura no Yu, the cherry blossom spring, serves the northern reaches of Ōsaki City where ancient silver maple and cherry avenues line the castle roads of the former Date domain territories. The Kitakami River plain around Kagobo preserves the agricultural rhythm of rice and soba cultivation that has defined northern Miyagi since the Jomon period, and the local Kesen-numa mackerel and oyster from the Pacific coast supply some of Miyagi finest cuisine.
