The 5 Best Ryokan in Iwate with Hanamaki Onsen & In-Room Open-Air Baths - Perfect for a Girls Get Away

Kenji Miyazawa was born in Iwate, and created famous works such as the children's stories ``Night on the Galactic Railway'' and the poem ``Ame Nimo Makezu.'' Hanamaki City, where he was born and raised, is dotted with many spots connected to him, such as the ``Kenji Miyazawa Memorial Museum'' and the ``Kenji Miyazawa Fairy Tale Village.'' There are some sparkling spots, which tend to get you excited. We recommend going with a friend you feel comfortable with so you can enjoy the same excitement.

Besides Kenji and nature, it is also famous for onsen. onsen is one of the most popular onsen springs in the Tohoku region, where you can be healed by its high-quality hot springs and the vast nature that stretches out before your eyes. Why not go on a girls' trip where you can relax your body and mind by visiting spots related to Kenji during the day and staying at an inn where you can enjoy onsen at night?

Especially recommended for girls' trips are inns with rooms with open-air baths. Since your room has an open-air bath, you can onsen in the hot spring whenever and however you like without having to worry about bathing times or switching genders. One of the real pleasures is being able to enjoy the clear air and nature. This time, we will introduce inns with rooms with open-air baths that are recommended for Hanamaki girls' trips. I hope you have a fun night with your friends.
