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:
“There is a great deal of self-denial and manliness in poor and middle-class houses, in town and country, that has not got into literature, and never will, but that keeps the earth sweet; that saves on superfluities, and spends on essentials; that goes rusty, and educates the boy; that sells the horse, but builds the school; works early and late, takes two looms in the factory, three looms, six looms, but pays off the mortgage on the paternal farm, and then goes back cheerfully to work again.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
