| Hot Spring in a Mountain Where You Can Fully Enjoy Nature | |
|---|---|
Hachimantai has now been developed and the paved road is opened for traffic. Until about a dozen years ago, public transport was poor and this hot spring was hardly known by people. In recent years, it has become nationally famous as being particularly effective against skin diseases. |

| Bath with lots of lumbers | ||
| The building along the gorge is simple, but it melts into natural, rich woods. The bathtub made of hinoki cypress is a little extravagant, and its feeling is good. The hot spring is soft and gentle to the skin. When you bathe listening to the sound of current, you can fully enjoy the best of a hot spring and the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of the world. |
 |
| Inn along the mountain stream |
| Other than the nature of Hachimantai, you can go north to Lake Towada or south to Lake Tazawa. It is perfect also as a sightseeing base for the lakes by excursion ship and for walks in the fresh green and autumnal leaves. | ||
