The bridge at the top of the hill in Ikaho with the onsen water in the stream below. High iron content gives the water its orange color.

The spring's outlet. The surface of the water turns orange as the iron oxidizes. You can also taste the water here, but it's not so delicious (sour and metallic).

After our sweet potato harvesting, we went to Mizusawa. The girls took us to the Mizusawa Kannon Temple and Shrine. Turning the two-storied pagoda three times around to the left is said to make you happy in the future. In Ikaho, the leaves were changing so the colors were very beautiful. We went to the outdoor onsen at the top of the hill, and then walked back down the famous stone stairway.
