  Mejor Onsen!

  Fuimos un domingo para una estancia de día. Lo mejor es alquilar un coche para llegar allí, pero la entrada es muy barata, 500 yenes. Ya que era un domingo, estaba lleno (especialmente el rotenburo bisex, apenas nadie en el interior), pero independientemente de eso los baños son increíbles y el ambiente totalmente rústico, lo que es difícil de encontrar en ningún otro sitio. La atmósfera es fantástica y las aguas se llevaron todo mi dolor muscular durante casi un mes!! Después del baño, uno se puede relajar tomando una bebida o comiendo algo en las instalaciones. Totalmente recomendado.

  Magical experience in winter

  We went for a day visit in February and even the bus journey was an experience since it was like driving up a bobsleigh run with high snow banks on each side. The entrance to the onsen is along a long corridor of old wooden building which had deep snow all around. They had even built an igloo just outside the gate. The onsens themselves have just basic changing rooms with one female and one male onsen but we were here for the mixed bathing onsen which is totally naked bathing. It may seem nervy for the females but their entrance into the onsen has a slightly hidden channel and since the onsen water is milky white your modesty is protected. We joined mainly Japanese and Korean couples and everyone was relaxed and chatty. The surroundings are truly beautiful since it sits in a valley with snow covered forest around you. We spent three hours going in and out and we just loved every minute. Neither my wife or I felt uncomfortable at any time and it was good to talk to the other bathers since everyone was loving being here. After bathing we had some lunch which was in another of the old wooden houses and overall the experience was unforgettable.

  Remote rustic onsen with a longest history in Nyuto

  This onsen is the oldest in Nyuoto area, and was frequented by the feudal lord of Akita. Its history goes back to 1600 and it has no shortage of old charm. The highlight of this property is certainly a wonderful quality of water and a mild outdoor mixed bath, where you can soak with your other half without compromising your modesty. The entrance to the bath from woman's change room is hidden, so you already come in submerged. The temperature is just perfect and it is so milky, no one can see anything. There are 9 baths in total in this onsen, including gender specific and private ones. And the quality of water is outstanding. So, if you love onsen, it's worth the experience. We stayed overnight in a simple room with no toilet or shower, and it was fine. Dinner and breakfast were great, heaps of food, full of flavour. There is plenty of old charm, and definitely worth a trip if you a fan of onsen like me, and old Japanese things in general. The place is quite hard to book, as the hosts speak very little English. I booked through Japanese Guest Houses, 6 months in advance. Overall, I loved the Nyuto Onsen-kyo area and Akita, and would love to return to Akita to explore more of its remoteness, hotsprings, history, alpine areas and delicious cousine.

  It is a rather primitive onsen so be mindful!

  Unlike most of the onsen which have been catering for travelers, this hot spring is rather a primitive one. There is only cold water inside so forget about taking a decent bath like you probably did somewhere else. Bring towel (bath towel sold at 1100jpy and small towel sold at 200jpy) if possible.

  Magical onsen experience

  Stayed here in the winter. The entire place was blanketed in snow. Its a very magical atmosphere in the snow. The outdoor onsen bath is huge, beautiful and the water has a very interesting milky blue colour. The price is very cheap for onsen standards but the rooms are small and bathrooms shared. Food is basic but very fresh and healthy. The room i stayed at was in a hundreds of years old wooden building, so it really is from another era. Its a busy hotel with lots of foreign tourists as it is extremely famous. Hotel pick up can get very cramped with everyone's luggage, and it includes guests from other hotels in the nearby area. So we opted for a taxi on the way back to the train station. For a luxury onsen experience, this is not it. Though it is an experience you cant get anywhere else.
