At the main facility of the roadside station Okutsu Onsen, "Shunsai Market Furusato Bussankan," you can find a wide variety of products made with "hime togarashi," a specialty of Kagamino Town, as well as fresh seasonal vegetables, wild vegetables, fruits, and locally-produced products. Okutsu Onsen is also close to Okutsu Valley, known as a famous spot for autumn leaves, so it is recommended to stop by in the fall to see the beautiful autumn leaves. It is also a perfect place to take a break during a drive or look for souvenirs.

On the first Sunday of every month, the "Okutsu Umaimono Aozora Ichiba" is held, where you can enjoy event-only specialty products and local cuisine. It will be a rare opportunity to feel the vitality of the area. Nearby, there is Hanabijin no Sato in Okutsu Onsen, so by stopping by the hot springs, you can fully experience the charm of the northern Okayama region.

If you go to the hot spring town, there is also a free foot bath on the riverside on the side of the day-trip hot spring "Hanabijin no Sato."

Also, just a short drive down the river is Okutsukei Valley, where you can enjoy the autumn leaves in the fall. In summer, you can cool off on the rocks by the river.
Also, a short distance away, in the Tomi area of ​​Kagamino Town, is Notoro Onsen Tenku no Yu. (It may be closed for long periods of time, so it's best to check with the local area.)
