A two-day, one-night trip for hot springs and autumn foliage from Sendai

Sendai's famous Oku-zashiki hot springs are well-known, but how about venturing a bit further to Naruko? 【Access】Approximately 2 hours by train via Furukawa 【Autumn Foliage Season】Late October to early November Naruko Onsen Village is like a department store of hot springs. It boasts nine different types of spring qualities, making it the "Eastern Yokozuna" counterpart to Beppu in the west. A day trip wouldn't do it justice—take your time and enjoy the variety of baths. From Naruko Onsen, it's just over an hour by bus to Naruko Gorge for autumn foliage viewing. After hiking, soaking in the hot springs is simply irresistible! The autumn leaves in Naruko Gorge are a tapestry of vibrant colors.
