大館矢立ハイツ

The cloudy water is so lovely that "it's disgusting" is a compliment. The baths for men and women apparently alternate daily, and on the day I visited I used Tenku no Yu. Yatate Heights was one of the hot springs recommended by a guide at Hirosaki Castle, where I visited to see the cherry blossoms. On weekdays, there's a bus that runs from Odate, so it's relatively easy to access. On weekends, however, it's a fairly hard-hitting hot spring, located between Tsugaru Yunosawa and Jinba Station, a 55-minute walk or about an hour's walk, respectively. It feels like Akita Prefecture is just around the corner. The indoor bath had a very strong, iron-like flavor, with a visible oil film. The water was quite hot, around 43°C. It's probably quite hot for city shower lovers. On the other hand, the cold bath was freezing cold. The temperature difference was staggering. The analysis report states that water has been added, but this is only seasonal. On the day of my visit, nothing was coming out of the valve supposedly meant for adding water to the indoor bath, so I guess it's unadded. The cloudy, 48.2°C water flowing freely is a luxury. In contrast, the outdoor bath is a lukewarm 40°C. It was quite comfortable to soak in. There's a big discrepancy between the water quality described in the analysis and the numbers and the actual feel of the water. It's dangerous if you're not careful. Although it's described as hypotonic, the water is nearly isotonic with a total of 7.586mg of components. While slightly weaker than the nearby Akayu at Ainori, it's still quite strong. And it tastes bad. It's packed with unpleasant components, including 13.2mg of iron (9.5mg of ferrous iron + 3.7mg of ferrous iron), 162.7mg of magnesium, and 479.1mg of calcium. While not enough to be called an iron spring (20mg), the iron content is enough to call it a hot spring, and it's quite strong. This hot spring is a great deal at just 450 yen.

I stayed in a Japanese-style room over the end of the year. It was spacious and had a sink and toilet. There was a long sofa, so it was comfortable. There was a lot of hair between the futon and mattress, which was disgusting. The sink and the corners of the toilet were covered in dust. The hot springs I visited the other day were amazing, with their unique iron-rich water. The open-air baths were especially great, as they were cooled by the snow. The women's baths are often full of day-trippers reserving spots, which is a bit of a downside. There was a basket nearby, but there was an empty chair, so I thought I could use it, but someone nearby said, "There's someone there." I was the only one who was having trouble washing myself. People who put towels in a bucket and put them under the faucet, leaving their seats open for a while, then go back and forth to the sauna to reserve a spot are really annoying. I wish they could do something about it. The staff were all nice, but the food was just average. Everything was set on the table from the start, and the grilled dishes and soups were quickly set on the stove, so the hot food I wanted got cold quickly. The desserts were just colored, flavored sugar water with commercial whipped cream. It was disgusting.

Used the hot spring for a day trip. The day before visiting this hot spring, iron-containing sodium chloride spring water, a salty water rich in iron, is poured into the baths in a free-flowing stream. Nearby hot springs with similar water quality include Koganezaki Furofushi Onsen and Hachikuro Onsen, but neither of them are located in areas that are easy to get to, so this hot spring is valuable in that sense as well. They offer breakfast-included plans in the morning, are open until late at night, and have many other great facilities for day trippers, so I recommend them.

First visit, October 25th I've been here before as a roadside station, and I thought it was a boring one... but after staying there, my opinion completely changed. First of all, the room was incredibly clean and reasonably priced. And the hot springs were amazing. Relaxing in the Tenku no Yu baths while watching the moon during the quieter evening hours was a wonderful experience. Wow, I've wasted about five years. Next time I have the chance, I'll definitely try to stay there.

I stayed there for two days. I enjoyed the hot springs ♨️. Be careful, you can't see the bottom! For some reason, I didn't see many young customers, but that meant it was a relaxing and quiet time. The breakfast was also delicious, so I'd definitely like to return.
