Tsuta Onsen is a scenic one hour and 40 minute bus ride through the mountains from Tohoku Shinkansen Hachinohe Station. The onsen is situated on the north side of Lake Towadako in the Towada-Hachimantai National Park. This longstanding lodge is surrounded by virgin beech forest and a quiet marsh.
Tsutanuma Marsh is a 10-minute walk from the lodge. Dotted around the area are more marshes (Kagaminuma, Tsukinuma, Naganuma, Suganuma, Hyoutannuma, etc.) that retain the tranquil surfaces that have charmed since ancient times. Wander the nature discovery trail, “Marshes Nature Trail,” that winds its way around the marshes.
If you love onsen and are willing to go that little bit further to venture into the mountains for a good onsen, we are confident that the wonderful natural spring water of Tsuta Onsen will be everything you hoped for.
