SodiumChloruresBrome
Tohoku Onsen takes its name from the town of Tohoku in Aomori Prefecture. Its sodium-chloride water emerges at 42°C, serving an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo pool and a sauna.
Insider tip — Tohoku Onsen serves the town literally named Northeast — Tohoku-machi in central Aomori — beside the shores of Lake Ogawara, one of Aomori's largest lakes and an important wetland habitat for migratory birds on the Pacific flyway. The town grew through the reclamation of the Ogawara basin flatlands that converted coastal wetlands into productive Aomori farmlands, and the community spring now provides social warmth in a landscape shaped by generations of agricultural transformation.
