    Akita Senboku-shi Tazawako Tazawa

    I tried to make a booking on Ganiba Onsen but it was fully booked. So I ended up visiting this place for a few hours during my onsen hopping. I must say Ganiba is my number one favourite.

    駒ヶ岳登山のためのバス待ちが1時間近くあり、時間調整で利用。ピーク時間帯とは全く異なる時間だったので他に客はおらず、貸し切り状態。なので店員さんから山の情報を伺うなど情報収集できました。 オーダーしてから作るので多少は時間がかかりましたが、店員さんの丁寧な対応が好印象。味は普通でした。

    Akita Senboku-shi Tazawako Obonai Kuroyuzawa 2-1
    This hot spring, owned and operated by an inn of the same name, is said to have been discovered in 1674 and is located the furthest back in the Nyuto Onsenkyo hot spring village. The spring wells forth next to the inn and visitors can watch the waters burbling up from the ground. The inn consists of several thatched roof and cedar bark roof black lodging buildings and hot spring huts, giving visitors a glimpse into what a therapeutic hot spring facility looked like in ancient Japan. There are two source springs, a simple hydrogen sulfide spring and an acidic sulfur spring, and their waters are said to treat such ailments as high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, and peripheral circulatory failure. Drinking these waters is also said to have health benefits, including helping alleviate diabetes, chronic addictions, rheumatism, and motor paralysis, while breathing their steam is purported to treat chronic bronchitis and sore throats. There are many places to experience the area's natural beauty, history, and culture nearby, including Sashimaki Marsh, known for its colonies of surprisingly lovely Asian skunk cabbage; and Kakunodate, called the Little Kyoto of Michinoku.

Akita Areas

Famed for its sake and samurai, Akita prefecture offers quintessential Japanese culture in a non-touristy setting. Alongside the celebrated rice paddies and historical sites of the region lies dramatic natural scenery in the form of the rugged coastline of the Oga Peninsula and the Dakigaeri Gorge, best visited in autumn, when the leaves begin to change color.
