Onsen Town
Four ryokan surrounded by old growth forest are located along the Ohata-gawa river within the Shimokita Peninsula Quasi-national Park.
There is also a nationally run campground here called 'Kokusetsu Yagen Yaeijo'.
Oku-yagen Hot Spring is located 2 km upriver and an outdoor bath (露天風呂 rotenburo) called 'Kappa-no-yu' can be found there. The outdoor baths 'Oku-yagen Onsen Rest House' and 'Fufu-kappa-no-yu' (Wedded Kappa Bath) are run by the municipality and are both located along the riverside.

Famous quotes containing the word town:
“I didn’t have any looks, I didn’t have any talent, and it was easy for me to say to the Lord, “I don’t have anything.” If you only knew where I came from ... this leetle-bitty town with no more than twelve hundred people in it. So ... anything I am today, He is the one who has done it [ellipses in source].”
—Kathryn Kuhlman (1907–1976)
