Our guide
Nyūtō Onsen is a rural hot-spring area in Towada-Hachimantai National Park, in Semboku, Akita: a scattering of Japanese-style spa inns around the foot of Mount Nyūtō. It is made up of seven separate places to stay. On the Mount Nyūtō trail there is also a free natural outdoor spring, Ippon-matsu Onsen; the buildings once there are gone, but hikers can still reach the spring.
Guests staying at one of the inns can buy a pass, the yumeguri-chō, which gives one entry to the baths of each inn and is valid for a year. We have not checked a public-transport route or individual inns, so look for local information before you go.
