Tsuta Onsen Ryokan in Oirase & Hakkoda Onsen offers a traditional wooden hot spring experience close to the beautiful Lake Towada, where the hot spring bath is filled with spring water bubbling up naturally from a source that exists directly below the bath. Set within a virgin beech forest, the ryokan provides a magical retreat where silence, cleanliness, and ample space create a comfortable atmosphere enhanced by the sweet natural water from winter snow that makes dishes, drinks, and sake particularly delicious. The attentive staff take care of every detail, from arranging guests' shoes at the entrance to providing gumboots for forest walks, while the impeccable meal service showcases locally sourced ingredients prepared with such precision that staff even notice and accommodate guests' handedness when setting chopsticks for subsequent meals.
