I found it on the way to the highway on my way back from Hachimantai and stopped by. It's set back from the national highway, so the average person probably doesn't stop by, and it's reserved for private use. The hot water is a little slippery, which I think is a rare hot spring quality around here. I don't really know what to do with it.I want to relax in the lying bath and foot bath, but I can't stay in it for long because there is no cold bath or rest space and it's too hot.

I stopped by for a bath during my 2-night, 3-day trip to Akita Aomori Onsen. I went to Tamagawa Onsen (Hontama) from Nyuto Onsen Tsurunoyu, where I had stayed the previous day, to have a bedrock bath and a hot spring bath, and then stopped by because it was a germanium-containing hot spring.If you are taking the route on the Akita Prefecture side, it will be difficult to find side roads even if you use a navigation system, so be careful. Immediately after passing through the arch of Hachimantai Onsen Village, turn left onto a side road (mountain road). Two places on the way? There is a fork in the road, but there is a guide board so you won't get lost.The building of the hot spring facility is extremely new, and when I spoke with the owner's grandmother, she told me that it was completely renovated during the coronavirus outbreak. It's so new that it's a waste to only be able to stay overnight without meals.Well, the quality of the springs is clear and unemployed. It was 42 degrees, a little too hot for me. I felt that being colorless and transparent is rare in this area where there are many sulfur springs. Also, as mentioned in other posts, I think it's a good idea to stop by here to rest your skin after bathing in the highly acidic Tamagawa Onsen.It was great to have a sleeping bath. If I had more time, I would have liked to take more baths. It was a 40 minute stopover, but the hot water was good.Those who want to spend the night in peace may be satisfied if they bring some simple ingredients and a packed lunch.

2024/8/31(Shibarionsen Motoyu) We stopped by because it was a very rare germanium spring. Adults 600 yen, family bath 2400 yen. The posted image is the men's bath, and about 2 people can lie down in the sleeping bath, but the women's bath is about half the size of the men's bath, and it seems like the sleeping bath will be full if one person lies down.

This time, my feet were hurting, so I went to Tamagawa Onsen, Ganbanyoku, Gosogake Onsen's Ondol, Steamy Bath, and finally stayed here.Compared to traditional hot springs that are highly acidic, the alkaline water is gentle and feels great on your body.Speaking of Germanium hot springs, I soaked in them slowly, drank them, and to be honest, I felt much better! !It seems like you don't know much about germanium, but I've been to about 400 hot springs in Japan myself.Isn't this hot water hiding some kind of unknown potential?I have a feeling thatWe highly recommend staying the night without meals or cooking your own meals! 🎵🙏

I was looking for Maedari Onsen at the Osarizawa Mine Historic Site and found it on a map! As soon as I called to make a reservation, I was greeted with a good response 👍The road to the hot springs is a bit steep, and you'll be excited at the inn where you can see the stars beautifully!They kindly welcomed us even though we arrived late, and since there were no other guests, we were allowed to use the larger bath.Sulfur hot springs don't suit my body, so this hot spring's temperature and quality are perfect!The room is clean and has a bed, so I'm satisfied even if I stay overnight without meals! Even more than that, I was warmed by the warmth of the elderly couple and wanted to talk to them more. I was lucky that I was only in charge on weekends!I don't go there often because it's far away, but it was an inn I'd like to visit again.

day tripObon holiday on the 13thWater available (tap water)Hair dryer availableThere is some shampooI have passed through this area several times for sightseeing, and while there are many hot springs with strong characteristics, this one was simple alkaline.Recommended if you are tired or tired of hot springs with a strong personality.There is only an indoor bath, but the handmade bathtub is nice. There was also a sleeping bath.It was probably for overnight stays, but there was also a washing machine.Please use the restroom before entering the changing room.

Visited on April 7, 2024. 2nd hot spring on the Tohoku hot spring trip. Visited after Goshogake Onsen. From National Route 341, you turn onto a side road, but this is unpaved and an adventure. Proceed while being careful of falling rocks.Feeling anxious, I found a proper building as I descended along the river. The river is flowing with water from melting snow.I was relieved that Yumori's father was waiting for me at the reception. The hot water is a sodium bicarbonate-based alkaline spring, which is completely different from the Gosogake hot spring mentioned earlier, and is what is called a skin-beautifying hot spring, and has a slimy texture. It might be interesting to pair it with the acidic Tamagawa Onsen.What impressed me the most was how cold the water was in the washing area. It's almost ice water, lolOn the way home, I had a little conversation with the father at the reception. The quality of the spring water is something to be proud of. There are people who protect hot springs like this, and you can go on a hot spring tour. Thank you.Snowmelting River Is it a hot spring guard waiting for a solitary customer?bulky mountain

It has a good temperature. It was a drop-in hot spring, but I would like to go there for a hot spring treatment.
