Motoyu Yuzankaku

This hot spring ryokan is located in Oga Onsen Village, one of Akita's leading hot spring destinations. It has its own abundant hot spring source, producing 200 liters of water per minute. Guests can experience the free-flowing natural hot spring in the large bath, where water gushes from the mouth of a Namahage figure, and in the atmospheric open-air bath. The plentiful mineral deposits and rich, smooth feel of the water are distinctive features of the source. Its color also changes with the season and temperature, ranging from brownish to green.

The spacious Japanese-style guest rooms offer a calm and relaxing atmosphere. As the ryokan stands at the highest point in the hot spring village, the rooms provide outstanding views from their windows. Concept rooms featuring Namahage-inspired decor and a coordinated modern Japanese design are also popular.

Dinner features a range of dishes combining seasonal ingredients, traditional cooking techniques, and the chefs' creativity. Additional dishes are also available, including Akita specialties such as kiritanpo hot pot and shottsuru hot pot, as well as snow crab from Oga. Please note that there is no elevator in the building, so guests must use the stairs. Preschool-age children are not permitted to stay at the ryokan.
