Nyuto Onsen

Posted by richie on 12 June, 2009

Nyuto Onsen is located in the northern Akita prefecture. A little off the beaten track, this area is surrounded by mountains and beautiful nature. During winter the place is blanketed in snow and is absolutely stunning. Less commercial than many of the onsen areas Nyuto Onsen is highly recommended.

Many of the onsens have a yesteryear feel to them and most have outdoor, rotenburo, in stunning outdoor settings. One of the oldest is Tsurunoyu, which is a pretty thatch styled onsen building. This onsen is very popular as it often gets rated in the best ten on TV and in various publications.� Nyuto Onsen has that rural �how it used to be� atmosphere and it is easy to fall in love with the place.
