In the town of Nishiwaga, Iwate Prefecture, there are many spots blessed with nature, such as Nanatsukugama, which is known for its seven large and small holes in the rocky surface, Kinjukiko, a 5km walking area where you can walk to the waterfall, and Yumoto Onsen, a hot spring where you can easily soak in a footbath even when touring.

In this article, we will introduce the ryokan called Yamado in Yukawa Onsen from Nishiwaga Town.
