The name Furofushi suggests that by bathing in the golden waters of this seaside onsen, you will not grow old and you will live eternally.
Certainly there is something special about this place. Right at the shoreline, the power of the waves and the sky is unmistakable.
Sitting in the peaceful warm water of the highly saline onsen it is easy to feel connected with nature and ponder the wonders of the world.
Should you choose to stay at the lodgings at Furofushi Onsen,(around 16000 Yen per person) you will be allowed to view the sunset over the Japan Sea, which I'm sure is beautiful. Otherwise, you will be given a plastic wrist ticket, and asked to leave before sunset at 5pm. Regardless, we were very happy with our experience.
With the world heritage Shirakami forest a mere 20 minute drive away, and the nearby Juniko lakes also a beautiful destination, this location has a lot to offer.
