Kurikoma Five Hot Springs

Japanese: 栗駒五湯 - くりこまごとう

This refers to five hot springs located in the south foot of Mt. Kurikoma (1,626m) in northwest Miyagi Prefecture and in the northwest of Kurihara City: Komanoyu Onsen (sulfur spring), Shinyu Onsen (sulfur spring), Nukuyu Onsen (weakly saline spring), Yunokura Onsen (Glauber's salt spring), and Yuhama Onsen (weakly saline spring). All of these are resorts where you can enjoy fresh greenery, autumn leaves, skiing, and more. They are also bases for hiking in the Kurikoma mountain range. Of the five hot springs, Shinyu (Shinkomanoyu) Onsen has been abandoned. National Route 398 passes nearby.
