Nyuto Hot springs is a group of seven Hot springs scattered around the foot of Mt. Nyuto, northeast of Lake Tazawako. Each hot spring is surrounded by greenery, so you can enjoy forest bathing while soaking in an open-air bath. One of these hot springs, Tsuru-no-Yu, is a secret hot spring that has been around since the Edo period. It is said that Satake Yoshitaka, the feudal lord of Akita, soaked in Hot springs to heal his body. The thatched-roof building that still remains today was used by the samurai who guarded the lord. The name Tsuru-no-Yu was given to the hot springs because an injured crane would soothe its wounds in the hot springs.
Other hot springs include Kaniba Hot springs, where crabs can be found in the nearby stream, and Magoroku Hot springs, known as the mountain's medicinal bath. Each of the seven Hot springs has its own source and the spring quality is diverse.
