White Mountain Inn

The White Mountain Inn is an old inn on the northern outskirts of Tagano village. It is the site of an onsen, and is a popular stop along the mountain roads that lead from Dewa into the unclaimed Ainu territories to the north and Mutsu to the east. The White Mountain Inn claims to be the northernmost inn in all of Japan, and one of the oldest structures in Dewa. Its exact date of construction is unknown, but records suggest it is no less than 600 years old, though it has been renovated and expanded several times.
