In the middle of Lake Tazawa and Kakunodate.
The path through the grove of trees leads you to the azure lake and mountain stream.
Natsuse Onsen Miyakowasure is surrounded by a large site and the surrounding mountains, with only 10 guest rooms, all with open-air baths with views of the Hugare Valley.
All rooms have an open-air bath with a view of the Hogarari Valley, making it an ideal, secluded place for relaxation.
Here we introduce the charms of Natsuse Onsen Miyakowasure.

The nearest station is Kakunodate Station on the Akita Shinkansen.
From there, we changed to a car and drove to a narrow road in the mountains.
The road is lined on both sides with primeval beech forest.
We continued onward and onward, watching the blue flow of the mountain stream.
The road gradually becomes bumpy, and just as you begin to wonder if there really is an inn ahead, the view suddenly opens up.
Natsuze Onsen Miyakowasure has a surprisingly neat appearance, reminiscent of the samurai residences in Kakunodate.
Many people may imagine a rustic inn in the mountains, but this is not the case.
However, this is a high-class inn with an open-air bath in every room.

The charm of Miyakowasare is that each room has a bath with free-flowing hot-spring water.
The atmosphere of the open-air bath differs from room to room, but the guest room “Kusabue” is on a large wooden deck with a roof.
It is a very luxurious space where you can have the valley in front of you all to yourself.
In fact, Natsuse Onsen is a so-called “thick hot spring” that has been popular as a medicinal hot spring since the Edo period.
After enjoying the hot spring in your room, please take a bath in the large “Momogen no Yu” bathhouse.
The baths are made entirely of hiba (Japanese cypress), and are completely different from the open-air baths in your room.
The spring water is a sodium calcium sulfate spring. The baths are full of the aroma of wood and have the atmosphere of a therapeutic bathhouse, and just by taking a bath there, you will be healed to your heart’s content.
