Accommodation in the Hakkoda Mountains where you can enjoy freshly sourced onsen bubbling up from beneath your feet.
Yachi Onsen, one of Japan's three secret hot springs, is located in the Hakkoda Mountains and boasts a history of over 400 years since its opening. The gentle water, naturally gushing directly from the bottom of the bath, is effective for back pain and eczema. Enjoy two different types of spring water: the 38°C sacred spring called "Shimo-no-Yu" and the 42°C milky white "Kami-no-Yu."
It was an Accommodation on the mountainside of Mt. Hakkoda, almost like a mountain lodge. As such, the Facility showed some age, but it also had a charming sense of history. The Onsen was excellent. The meals were just the right portion for seniors. The Shuttle Service from Shin-Aomori was a great help. On the way back, you also stopped by Sukayu Onsen—thank you very much. The night sky full of stars was wonderful as well.
Greeening 8/10/2026I had visited the onsen several times for day trips and always wanted to stay overnight. Finally, I was able to stay this time. As expected, the onsen here is amazing! The simple sulfur spring, naturally flowing from the ground, with its milky white water offers both lukewarm and hot baths, making it so relaxing that you could soak in it forever. Since there’s no air conditioning, I wondered if it would be too hot when temperatures exceed 30°C. However, a fan was more than sufficient. Being sensitive to insects, I worried about horseflies flying around but didn’t see any during my stay. The room was clean and well-maintained; since I chose a room with a private toilet, it was quiet and comfortable for relaxation—a truly healing experience. As a sake lover, I also enjoyed some Dassai sake... absolutely delicious! This time was a solo trip; next time I’d like to visit with my husband. Thank you very much!
