Tsuta Onsen Ryokan

If you're looking for somewhere other than Sukayu Onsen, I recommend Tsuta Onsen Ryokan. It's a hot spring Ryokan (Japanese inn) surrounded by beech forests, and nearby there are seven small ponds, large and small, called the Tsuta Nananuma. This hot spring is a historic hot spring that was opened during the Heian period, and the source of the hot spring bubbles up from under your feet. The rooms are also retro and charming. It's a great hotel to get to know the Japanese spirit, as the lyrics of the hit song "Tabi no Yado" by Japanese folk singer Takuro Yoshida were also drafted here.

How about Aomori Prefecture? The only hot spring inn in Tsuta Onsen, located on Mount Hakkoda, is the "Tsuta Onsen Ryokan (Japanese inn)." It is an inn that the writer Omachi Keigetsu loved so much that he made it his final home. It is surrounded by nature, including Tsuta Numa, and if you go a little further, you will find the Oirase Gorge and Lake Towada. I would recommend it in all seasons, but it is especially beautiful during the autumn leaves.
