Kuraishi Onsen is located in Gonohe, Aomori Prefecture. Its sodium-chloride water emerges at 42°C and serves an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo pool and a sauna.
Insider tip — Kuraishi Onsen, the storehouse rock spring, serves Gonohe-machi in Aomori's Sannohe District, famous for its premium Gonohe garlic cultivated on the highland plateau. Aomori Prefecture produces over 70 percent of Japan's domestic garlic crop, and the rivalry between Gonohe and Towada garlic varieties drives a quality competition that has elevated Japanese garlic to the same premium category as French or Spanish certified-origin produce.
