Onsen Musume is a multimedia franchise in which onsen become idols, forming groups and competing against one another. Yonezawa is fortunate enough to have its own character in the series! Her name is Onogawa Komachi, and she represents Onogawa Onsen. Around the onsen, there are many shops with her image and merchandise for fans to check out.

In fact, many of these locations will be participating in a stamp rally, which will run from December 1, 2019 until February 29, 2020. Near each onsen, QR codes can be found at locations that have a standee of their character. By scanning this QR code using a special app, that location will be registered as part of the stamp rally. (This app can be found at https://rallyapp.jp) This will occur not only in Yonezawa, but in other parts of Tohoku as well, including the prefectures of Akita, Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima. In total, there are 61 participating locations across five prefectures.

The list of each participating onsen can be found below:

• Shin-Tamagawa Onsen, Nyuto Onsen (Akita Prefecture)
• Hanamaki Onsen-kyo (Iwate Prefecture)
• Yama no Kami Onsen (Iwate Prefecture)
• Akiu Onsen (Miyagi Prefecture)

• Onogawa Onsen (Yamagata Prefecture)
