Koganezaki Furōfushi Onsen

The highlight of any Gonō Line journey: a lone inn famous nationwide for its 'seaside open-air bath' set right at the water's edge of the Sea of Japan. Iron-rich chloride water, rust-red and cloudy, seems to merge with sea and sky. Day use is ¥600 — the seaside bath 8:00–16:00 (last entry 15:30), the main-building indoor 'Kogane-no-yu' 8:00–20:00. The mixed outdoor bath allows bathing wear (rental fee); a women-only outdoor bath sits alongside. Sunset soaks are for overnight guests only, so stay if you want one of Japan's 100 best sunsets from the tub.

Fukaura Kanko Hotel Benten-no-Yu

A hotel on a hill in the Fukaura Station area, where the World Heritage Shirakami Mountains meet the Japan Sea coast. It draws Nabeishi Onsen from the town - an iron-bearing sodium-chloride strong brine whose salty taste warms the body. The baths sit in a separate building called Benten-no-Yu at the end of a long corridor, a Benten statue watches over the bath from its center, and the panoramic open-air baths for men and women look out over sunsets on the Japan Sea.
