Akita Pref. Yuzawashi Minase Oyasuokuyama National Forest 34

This off-the-beaten-track hot spring inn and its unspoiled natural setting is about two hours by car from Furukawa Interchange. It has a long history and retains its traditional atmosphere. It's a great spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and get in touch with the calm of nature and the seasons. Drop by for a break and try one of their four kinds of baths. They also have a natural river bath that's open between July and September. It's a clear simple sulfur spring that wells up from the riverbed that they block to form a pool, letting you soak and take in the expanse of the great outdoors.
