Oyasukyo Daifunto

Valley

4.5

Oyasukyo is a famous spot in Kurikoma Quasi-National Park, in Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture. Located in a valley at 60 meter elevation, this hot spring is set apart by the boiling water and steam bubbling forth from bare rock. With its well-maintained trails, you can get a close look at the layers of bedrock holding back intense natural heat, with cracks letting out clouds of steam and hot water. It's also famous for its fall leaf viewing, and its popular sightseeing spot equipped with parking areas.

子安峡の駐車場から、長い長い階段を下りた先に、渓谷があります。いくつもの滝が流れ落ち、自然のままの景観。圧巻の大噴湯。一見の価値が大いにあります。
