Oyasukyo Daifunto

Valley

4.5

Oyasukyo is a famous spot in Kurikoma Quasi-National Park, in Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture. Located in a valley at 60 meter elevation, this hot spring is set apart by the boiling water and steam bubbling forth from bare rock. With its well-maintained trails, you can get a close look at the layers of bedrock holding back intense natural heat, with cracks letting out clouds of steam and hot water. It's also famous for its fall leaf viewing, and its popular sightseeing spot equipped with parking areas.

国道（大噴湯の案内板あり）から急な階段を降りていき、渓流沿いに整備された遊歩道をしばらく歩いていくと、湯煙が突然目に入ってきました。さらに近づいてみると、渓流の壁面の岩盤の隙間から、もの凄い勢いで湯が水平方向に噴出していて驚きました。壁面から出ている光景など見たこともありません。壁面から水平に噴出した湯が遊歩道まで達している箇所もあるので、そこを歩いて通り抜けた時は熱々でした。また、硫黄臭が...
