01Nyuto Onsen-kyo
乳頭温泉郷Seven legendary baths deep in beech forest
ブナ林に佇む七湯、日本一の秘湯巡りの聖地
Nyuto Onsen-kyo is a constellation of seven historic inns scattered through the beech forest below Mt. Nyuto — Tsuru-no-Yu, Taenoyu, Magoroku, Kuroyu, Ganiba, Ougama, and the Kyukamura — each with its own spring source, its own water, and its own character. The oldest, Tsuru-no-Yu, was a cure retreat of the Akita lords some 400 years ago; its thatched "honjin" longhouse, once used by the daimyo's retainers, still stands, and the cloudy-white open-air bath in front of it is the single most-photographed onsen in Japan. Overnight guests can buy the "yumeguri-cho" pass and work their way through all seven over a few days.
乳頭温泉郷は、乳頭山の麓のブナ林に点在する7つの老舗宿——鶴の湯・妙乃湯・孫六・黒湯・蟹場・大釜・休暇村——の集まりで、宿ごとに源泉も湯も趣も異なります。最も古い鶴の湯は、約400年前に秋田藩主が湯治に訪れた由緒ある宿。警護の側近が使った茅葺きの「本陣」長屋が今も残り、その前に広がる乳白色の露天は、日本で最も撮影される温泉です。宿泊者は「湯めぐり帖」を手に、数日かけて7湯すべてを巡ることができます。
