- Akita Pref. Yuzawashi Minase Aratokoro
- 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.

It's also famous for its fall leaf viewing, and its popular sightseeing spot equipped with parking areas.

On either side of the bridge stand four stone statues, Lord Enma and Lord Taizan on one side, and Longevity Jizo and Praying Jizo on the other. The autumn changing colors of the foliage is superb.

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.
