Explore Akita's Nyuto Onsen Village and Tsurunoyu Onsen

Akita is renowned for its hot springs, particularly the Nyuto Onsen Village, which includes Tsurunoyu Onsen, Ogama Onsen, Magoroku Onsen, and Kuroyu Onsen. I was fortunate to visit all except Ogama and Magoroku Onsen.

Note that Kuroyu Onsen typically opens around late April to early May due to heavy snow in winter. This time, I'll provide a detailed introduction to Tsurunoyu Onsen. We didn't make a reservation and luckily got the last luxurious room at the main building.

The price per person is detailed in image. Except for the new main building, most rooms don't have toilets, and even those with toilets lack showers. Bathing is done before entering the hot spring, with facilities available. An 8-tatami room can accommodate up to four people. The room rate includes dinner and breakfast, and the hot spring is open 24 hours.
The men's outdoor bath is mixed-gender, but don't feel shy as the milky white water offers privacy. Many women also enjoy this pool. It's a unique experience, but staying one night is sufficient as the meals are repetitive.
