Yuze Onsen Village stretches along the gorge of the clear Yoneshiro River. Said to have been named for its abundant hot water—so plentiful that it even springs up from the river shallows—this Onsen area is also highly popular as a “beauty bath” thanks to its skin-friendly waters. Yuze Gorge, selected as one of the New Akita 30 Scenic Spots, is also certified as a Forest Therapy Road with proven relaxation benefits, attracting guests each year in search of healing. It also offers convenient access to Oyu Stone Circles, part of the UNESCO World Heritage “Jomon Prehistoric Sites in Northern Japan.”

Listen to the gentle murmur of the Yoneshiro River flowing right before you, and savor the changing seasons with all five senses. The abundant nature of Towada-Hachimantai and its free-flowing hot spring source will soothe both body and mind. As the name “Yuze” is said to have come from “hot water bubbling up from the river shallows,” this Onsen is rich in volume and has long been praised as a “beauty bath,” known for being especially gentle on the skin. At our creative Akita local cuisine buffet, enjoy signature dishes such as Kazuno’s original Kiritanpo Nabe, along with locally branded ingredients like Hinai Jidori chicken and Hachimantai pork, plus seasonal dishes made with ingredients at their peak.
