Reset Your Travel Fatigue in the Foot Baths of Iizaka Hot Spring, Northeast Japan's Oldest Spa Resort

About this spot

Iizaka Hot Spring is counted among the Oshu Three Renowned Hot Springs and is one of Northeast Japan's most distinguished spa resorts, with over 1,200 years of history. The hot spring town features numerous public bathhouses and foot baths available free or at low cost, allowing you to enjoy onsen hopping while strolling. The foot bath areas near Totsuna Bridge are delightful spots where you can soak your feet while listening to the babbling of the stream—perfect for resetting the fatigue of a day's walking before the fireworks festival. Strolling through the alleyways lined with old inns and shops of the hot spring town evokes a charming retro Showa atmosphere. After the foot bath, it's also recommended to satisfy a light appetite with local soft-serve ice cream or sweets.

Tips

About 25 minutes from Fukushima Station via Abukuma Rapid Railway to Iizaka Hot Spring Station. Many foot baths are free to use, but bringing a towel is convenient. If using public bathhouses, check in advance whether you need to bring soap and shampoo. Keep in mind the timing to return to the venue for the fireworks; begin moving back by the 4 PM hour.
