Yachi Onsen

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.

I 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!
