Description

Tsuta Onsen Ryokan

Location: Towadako, Aomori Prefecture

Welcome to Tsuta Onsen Ryokan. This classic, north-country inn dates to 1909 and is one of Tohoku's most famous traditional ryokan. Tsuta means "ivy" in Japanese, a theme carried out in the decor and also in the dense, surrounding beech forest.
Rooms in the oldest wooden structure (built in 1918) and an annex (built in 1960), both up a long flight of stairs, have beautiful wood-carved details and good views, while the west wing, a 1988 addition, has an elevator and the convenience of toilets (a few have bathrooms).
The hot-spring baths are new but preserve traditional bathhouse architecture, with high ceilings and cypress walls; they're considered beneficial for healing scars and other skin problems.
Tsuta is one of a kind and is served by the same JR bus that travels between Aomori and Lake Towada (it's about a 15-min. bus ride to Yakeyama). It also has its own 1-hour hiking trail to a nearby lake.
