I love the old-fashioned charm of Oyu Onsenkyo in Akita. It preserves the character and atmosphere of traditional hot spring lodges.
After the rain shower, the stream was full, and a thick layer of mist hovered above it, like the foam on a latte. The greenery looked even fresher and more soothing after being washed by the rain.
Summer is definitely the perfect time to visit Tohoku.
