Very interesting valley, hot water is gushing out of the rocks. It is a short walk but with lots of stairs.

Must visit if you are around the area. Very beautiful.

Oyasukyo is a valley in the southern part of Akita Prefecture.

you should visit if you are driving in east northern Japan and you can take this as a drop by point while driving for long. Worth to see the amazing landscape.

One of the great places to observe the real onsen (SPA) water urges from the ground. There are lots of free ashi no yu (hot water to put your feet) and many hotels, ryokans and daily spa around. You can spend whole day here. Take your time and visit the river side. You will be amazed.

It is a beautiful gorge. ( August period )

You will find the service center around and could park your car here.

令和４年７月末の日曜日に訪問。川原毛地獄の駐車場から歩いたので、滝壺までは２５分くらいかかりました。一番近い駐車場からは１０分くらいでしょうか。小石がゴロゴロしていて急階段も有り、スニーカーでも歩きにくかったです。ただし、周りは草一本も無い山に煙が吹き上がっていて、これぞ「地獄」というダイナミックな景色。一見の価値ありです。お湯は前日が大雨だったため、温泉というよりちょっと温かめなプールくらいの温度でした。手すりも鎖も無い自然そのままの姿で自由に入れる滝壺って珍しいと思います。岩に藻が生えていたりして、滑りやすいので注意！私はおっかなびっくりだったのですが、地元の人たちは、結構な高さにある岩棚の湯に浸かっていたりして慣れた様子で意外に小さな子やお年寄りも多くいました。山奥のパラダイスといったところでしょうか。 (Translated by Google) Visited on Sunday at the end of July 2022. I walked from the Kawarage Jigoku parking lot, so it took about 25 minutes to reach the waterfall basin. About 10 minutes from the nearest parking lot. There were many pebbles and steep stairs, so it was difficult to walk even with sneakers. However, smoke is blowing up on the mountains with no grass around, and this is a dynamic scenery called "Hell". It is worth seeing. Since it rained heavily the day before, the hot water was more like a warm pool than a hot spring. I think it's rare to have a waterfall basin where you can enter freely without railings or chains. Algae can grow on the rocks, making them slippery, so be careful! I was a bit skeptical, but the locals seemed to be used to bathing in hot water on rocky ledges at quite a height, and there were surprisingly many small children and elderly people. Is it like a paradise deep in the mountains?

2023年5月21日に伺いました。 道中。残り４.5km地点から道が細くなり、クネクネとした舗装された林道を走ります。 滝までは駐車場から感覚で遊歩道を500m強？歩きました。 道中は木々の緑がキレイでしたが、虫は多いです。 滝は水がキレイで見事でした❗️ 水温はぬるま湯ぐらいでした。 川を渡り階段を登ったら行き止まりになっていて お風呂は発見出来ませんでした🥲 脱衣所も発見出来なかったのでまだ先があったのかな❓景色は⭐️5ですが、遊歩道が長いのとお風呂が発見出来なかったので今回は⭐️3とさせていただきました🙇🏻‍♂️ 近くの川原毛地獄も見応えありました。 お風呂があればまた行きたいと思ってます。 (Translated by Google) I visited on May 21, 2023. on the way. From the remaining 4.5km point, the road becomes narrower, and you will run on a winding, paved forest road. From the parking lot to the waterfall, it's a little over 500m on the promenade? I walked The green of the trees was beautiful on the way, but there were many insects. The waterfall was beautiful with beautiful water❗️ The water temperature was lukewarm. After crossing the river and climbing the stairs, it's a dead end I couldn't find a bath🥲 I couldn't find a dressing room, so I wonder if there was still a long way to go. The nearby Kawarage Jigoku was also spectacular. I would like to go again if there is a bath.

Really nice place. A waterfall onsen. It is only open a few months in the year so you need to time your visit. It is about a 15 minute walk from the closest car park. There is a small changing room available just pass the waterfall. The water is very acidic so not recommended for people with very sensitive skin. Definitely worth a visit!

9月末に寄りましたが適温過ぎました( ´∀｀) 川の水量次第ですが、近くの泥湯など複数の宿を確保して3日行程で天候と勝負、2日間の雨の後に快晴となり、濁流の不安もありましたがご覧の通り心配無用、超適温で最高でした(｀･ω･) 簡易な脱衣所もあるので、サンダルと水着、タオルを持参で是非。 駐車場から15分ほど山道を歩くのですが普通に歩けます。 とにかくロケーションが最高です。 (Translated by Google) I stopped by at the end of September, but it was too hot (´∀｀) Depending on the amount of water in the river, we secured multiple lodgings such as nearby mud baths, and battled the weather in a 3-day trip. It was the perfect temperature (｀･ω･) There is also a simple dressing room, so please bring sandals, a swimsuit, and a towel. It takes about 15 minutes from the parking lot to walk on the mountain road, but you can walk normally. Location is the best.

Amazing place. Highly recommended for nature lovers and hot spring lowers. The entrance is on the right side of the bathrooms at the parking lot. It is about 500 m. and takes around 15 min descending to get the waterfalls. The origin of the water is near to the parking lot. There is no path to get there. You go through trees and relaxing path. There are spots you can sit to take break of you want. Once you reach the waterfall you feel that you are in the haven and forget everything. There are changing place for males and females. There is a nice spot under the waterfall where you can enjoy the hot spring. Make sure you have suitable outfit. It is forbidden to enter naked. The water temperature is about 40 degrees Celsius here. It gets hotter if you go towards the origin. Have a towel. If you have time go to the opposite side from the parking area to explore the bleached rocks on the top of the mountain. It is open from July to the end of September.

This place is really nice and interesting but in 2020 season, you need to walk more than 30 min to get there (i.e. the round trip takes more than 60 min) from the only parking, because the nearest parking is not available due to the maintenance of the road to reach there. It’s quite tough because you go down first and you need to climb the way for return. If you think you are fit, give it a try.

Better than a ryokan just stay at a nearby Tokoton camp site and pay a fifth of any ryokans price

A great outdoor experience for natural hot springs. There's a basin and a beautiful waterfall.

Amazing hotspring waterfalls !

The 'real deal' for an outdoor, nature hot spring. I haven't been in anything like it!

Splendid views over valley and agricultural land. Good displays. A reconstruction but we'll done and worth every penny for the chairlift experience to the top.

なかなか面白かったですよ 徒歩でも行けるとの事ですが、当日は雨だったのと時間があまりなかったので、ケーブルカーで行きました 天守閣内部２階にある黄金の茶室の迫力は凄いですね 金箔二万枚使用したとか 霧が濃くて、写真が残念な感じになりましたが、天守閣もなかなかオリジナル感がありました(笑)

a beautiful place to visit.

(Translated by Google) The view was good and the view of the rice fields before harvesting was beautiful. I've been wondering if the autumn leaves are beautiful. I didn't know that the admission fee included a slope car, so I walked up for exercise. It was a fairly steep road, but it was just the right exercise 😊 (Original) 眺めが良くて稲刈り前の田んぼの景色がきれいでした。紅葉の時期も綺麗なのかなと思ってきました。 スロープカー込みの入館料になっているのを知らなくて行きは運動のために歩いて登りました結構急な道でしたがちょうどいい運動になりました😊

good

(Translated by Google) We brew delicious Japanese sake. This is tonight's drink. The sake brewery's Junmai Daiginjo sake, brought by then-Tokyo Governor Inose as a souvenir, played a role in Tokyo's bid for the Olympics. I want to drink while watching the Olympics. It's a shame that Tokyo and three prefectures are now holding events without spectators! I'm enjoying some new sake tonight. It has a light and fluffy taste that is easy to swallow. Tonight is Fuku Komachi for limited sale. We had delicious. I bought Kijoshu, which is made using sake instead of water. (Original) 美味しい日本酒を醸造しています。今夜の晩酌はこれです。当時の猪瀬東京都知事がお土産として持参した酒蔵の純米大吟醸酒で、東京オリンピック招致に一役担いました。オリンピック観戦しながら呑みたいですね。まさか今になって1都3県が無観客開催とは残念！ 今夜は新酒を堪能しています。ふんわり感のある軽くて吞みやすい味わいです。 今夜は、限定販売の福小町です。美味しく頂きました。 仕込み水の代わりにお酒を使用して造った貴醸酒を買いました。

創業400年。福小町という美味しい日本酒を造っています。

(Translated by Google) It's dangerous to see commercial cars driving around Akita city, changing lanes from side to side repeatedly without turning on their turn signals. If you see a silver car with a company name on it, be careful. (Original) 秋田市内を走ってる営業車、ウインカーも点けずに左右にせわしなく車線変更を繰り返し見ていて危ない。社名の入ったシルバーの車を見たら気をつけよう。

(Translated by Google) I drank Junmai Ginjo. Although it is said to be dry, it has a sweet aroma. It's good if it has a sweet scent and a sharp taste. However, for some reason, it gives off a lazily sweet impression. If you let it cool down in the refrigerator, the scent will be closed and you won't be able to enjoy it. If the temperature is between room temperature and human skin temperature, the fragrance will bloom too much. It seems quite difficult to handle. However, there is no doubt that it is a beautiful sake. (Original) 純米吟醸を飲みました。辛口と言われてるが、香りが甘いんです。甘い香りでキリっとしてるなら良し。 ただ、何でしょうか、ダラダラと甘い印象。 冷蔵庫でキンキン冷やすと香りは、閉じていて、楽しめない。常温から人肌くらいの温度だと、香りが花開き過ぎる。なかなか扱いが難しい印象。 ただし、キチンと綺麗な酒である事は、間違いないと思いますが。

(Translated by Google) It is one of several sake breweries in Yuzawa, and there are exhibits such as old tools. You can sample the products, but what's most appealing is the limited edition sake that can only be purchased here. Among the brands here, I like ``Fukukomachi Junmai Ginjo'' and drink it often. I feel that it is an excellent sake that has a fruity, rich flavor that spreads in the mouth, and has a good balance with the acidity.Personally, I like the aroma the most. There aren't many places in my neighborhood where I can drink at a store, so I mainly drink it at home and buy it online. It's convenient and helpful these days. (Original) 湯沢にいくつかある酒蔵のひとつ、昔の道具などの展示品もある。商品の試飲もできるが、何よりここでしか買えない限定品の日本酒があるのが魅力的。ここの銘柄では「福小町　純米吟醸」が好きで良く飲んでいる。フルーティーでコクもあり良い旨味が口の中に広がる、酸味とのバランスも良い秀逸な日本酒だと感じる、個人的には香り高いところが最も気に入っている。お店で飲めるところは近所では殆どないので主に自宅呑みでネット購入している。今時は便利で助かる。

(Translated by Google) It is one of the oldest breweries in Akita Prefecture, and some sake is sold exclusively at the brewery. Famous brands include Fukukomachi and Kakuemon. (Original) 秋田県内で有数の歴史を有する蔵元で、蔵元限定販売の日本酒もあるようだ。福小町や角右衛門といった銘柄が有名。

(Translated by Google) At the end of the year, I bought a special Junmaishu Fuku Komachi and drank it. It was fragrant and delicious. They make good sake. I will buy again. (Original) 年末に特別純米酒福小町を買って飲みました。 香り高くて美味しかったです。 良い酒造りをしてますね。 また買います。

(Translated by Google) There are many popular alcoholic beverages. This sake brewery is so popular that even tour buses stop here. (Original) 人気があるお酒が沢山あります。 観光バスも止まる程の人気酒蔵です。

(Translated by Google) I think it's irresistible for sweetfish lovers. I was full of four. Wakaayu is delicious at this time of year (Original) 鮎好きにはたまらないと思います。 自分は4匹がいっぱいでした。 この時期なら若鮎美味しいです

(Translated by Google) The sweetfish, which were brought in from the Omonogawa River and raised in an aquaculture pond that recreated a natural river, were very delicious, combining the best of both natural and farmed fish. The Komachi sweetfish set meal comes with 2 salt-grilled sweetfish, 1 dengaku sweetfish, 2 fried sweetfish, sweetfish sashimi, young sweetfish boiled in tsukudani, a small bowl of whitebait and okra, rice, miso soup, and pickles. 2860 yen. I was surprised that you could get such a luxurious sweetfish dish for this price. Even with set meals, the food is freshly fried and served right away, so it's piping hot. You can eat it whole, from head to tail and bones. The marinated small sweetfish was also served on a cool plate, with just the right amount of vinegar, and the meat was soft and delicious. It has become a store that I would like to visit again. Payment is in cash only. Parking is available in front and to the side of the store. (Original) 雄物川から川の水を引き入れ、自然の川を再現した養殖池で育てられた鮎は天然と養殖の良いとこ取りで、とても美味しい鮎でした。 小町鮎定食には、鮎の塩焼き2匹、鮎の田楽1匹、鮎の唐揚げ2匹、鮎のお刺身、稚鮎の佃煮、シラスとオクラの小鉢、ご飯、味噌汁、お漬物が付いて2860円。このお値段でこれだけ豪華な鮎づくしのお料理が頂けるのにはびっくりしました。 定食でも焼き立て揚げたてを直ぐに出してくれるので、熱々ほくほく。頭から尻尾、骨まで丸ごと食べれてしまいます。 小鮎のマリネも涼しげなお皿に盛り付けられ、程よい酢で身も柔らかでとてもおいしかったです。 またお邪魔したいお店になりました。 支払いは現金のみ。駐車場はお店の前と横にあります。

(Translated by Google) I wanted to eat sashimi, but I couldn't eat it because the time had passed, but the sweetfish was delicious anyway. I definitely want to go to summer and eat it raw. I couldn't drink it as a driver, but Ayu sake is also delicious. (Original) お刺身が食べたかったのですが時期が過ぎていて食べれませんでしたが、鮎がとにかく美味しかったです。今度は夏に行って是非生で食べたいです。私は運転手で飲めませんでしたが鮎酒も美味しいとの事です。

(Translated by Google) First visit. We will proceed along the narrow path as shown in the photo. The inside of the store is spacious and clean, and you can even try your hand at ayu fishing. On the day I ordered kamakomeshi, I had 2 salt-grilled sweetfish and 1 miso flavored sweetfish, and the miso flavor was very delicious! Definitely a repeat purchase ♪ (Original) 初訪問。 写真の様な細道を進んでいきます。 店内は広く清潔感もあり、鮎釣りの体験もできるとのこと。 当日は釜こめしを注文し、鮎は塩焼き2匹と味噌味が1匹でこの味噌が非常にうまい！ リピ確定です♪

(Translated by Google) My visit was at the end of July. This is a restaurant specializing in sweetfish. I found it online and was curious about it, so I went there. There was a fish farm next to the store. Although it is located in a very remote location, the restaurant has a luxurious feel similar to a Kaiseki restaurant. It's a perfect image to gather at a memorial service. Since we were there, we had the full sweetfish course and the peony course (4,950 yen). It's a great price, but I got about 7 to 8 sweetfish, so I think it's better value than eating elsewhere. Everything was delicious, but the sashimi was especially delicious. If you like sweetfish, this is a restaurant you should visit at least once a year. I would have liked to give it a 5 star, but I was disappointed in the granny's customer service which was annoying and the food came out a little too quickly, so I'll give it a 4 star. It was delicious last time, so I tried it for the second time. This time, I only reserved a seat and when I arrived, I had the Komachi sweetfish set meal. Since it was a set meal, we waited for about 40 minutes because most of the food was ready. If you just want to reserve a seat, it would be better to have a course meal that comes out separately. (Original) 7月末の訪問です。鮎の専門料理店です。ネットでみつけて気になっていたので行ってきました。店の横に養殖場が広がっていました。 ものすごく辺鄙な場所にありますが、お店は会席料理店のような高級感。法事とかで集まるには文句なしのイメージです。 せっかくなので、鮎のフルコース、芍薬コース（4950円）を頂きました。立派なお値段ですけど、鮎7～8匹分くらいは出てきましたので、ほかで食べるよりお得だと思います。全部おいしかったけど、刺身が特においしかった。鮎好きなら年に1回は訪れたいお店でした。 ★5をつけたいところですけど、おばあちゃんの接客が癪に障ったのと、料理が出てくるのが少し早すぎて残念だったので★4にします。 前回おいしかったので、早速2回め。今度は席だけ予約して、着いてから小町鮎定食をいただきました。定食なので、ほとんど揃ってからの着膳なので40分くらい待ちました。席の予約だけなら、バラバラ出てくるコース料理の方がいいですね〜

(Translated by Google) After picking cherries, I took a trip to visit Ayunoya ❗️ Then, I ordered the Iwayado set meal and a single kamameshi item, named after Iwayado, which is located near Ayunoya and where Ono Komachi is said to have spent her later years, and shared it with my wife. I thoroughly enjoyed the set meal, which included 12 sweetfish of various sizes. (Original) さくらんぼ狩りから、足を延ばして鮎乃家さんにお邪魔しました❗️ そして鮎乃家さんの近くに有る、小野小町が晩年過ごしたとされる岩屋堂に因んだ、岩屋堂定食と釜飯単品を頼んで家内とシェアしました。 大小様々な鮎１２匹を使った定食で、十分堪能させて頂きました。

(Translated by Google) When I come to Yokote, I always stop by this famous ayu restaurant. At this time of year, the sweetfish are still small, but they are delicious and can be eaten whole. I especially love the candied sweetfish here☺️ (Original) 横手に来たときは、足をのばして、いつも来ている鮎料理の名店です。この時期は、まだ鮎が小鮎ですが、まるごと食べれて美味しいです。特に私はここの鮎の甘露煮が大好きです☺️

(Translated by Google) I stopped by for a meal on June 8, 2019. When I was looking for Iwayado in Komachi, I happened to come across the Ayunoya signboard and tried it for the first time. It took less than 30 minutes from the roadside station Ochi, but after crossing the Ogatsu River and passing the Iwayado entrance where Ono Komachi spent her later years, there was a large shop. If anything, the interior was more like a Japanese restaurant for groups rather than individuals, but I was able to reserve the room for private meals. We had the Komachi Ayu Set Meal for 2,800 yen including tax, and enjoyed a delicious ayu feast! We had sweetfish sashimi, the classic salt-grilled fish, dengaku, fried chicken, tsukudani, simmered butterbur, miso soup with butterbur, and homemade rice. At this price range, I was satisfied! As a bonus, I took a walk around Iwayado in Komachi on the way home. It's a little hard to understand, but it's a restaurant specializing in sweetfish dishes, so please come and visit! (Original) 2019年６月８日に食事に立ち寄りさせて頂きました。小町の岩谷堂を探す時に鮎乃家の看板を偶然見つけ初挑戦しました。 道の駅おがちから30分も掛かりませんが雄勝川を渡り小野小町が晩年を過ごした岩谷堂入り口を過ぎると大きな造りのお店が有りました。 どちらかと言えば個人よりは団体様向けの割烹料理店の内装でしたがお部屋を個人で貸切で食事が出来ました。 小町鮎定食税込2800円で鮎三昧を美味しく堪能させて頂きました！ 鮎の刺身、定番塩焼き、田楽、唐揚げ、佃煮、フキの煮物、フキの味噌汁と自家製ご飯でした。 この価格帯では、満足感が有りました！ おまけで帰りに小町の岩谷堂を腹ごなしに散策しました。 少し解りずらい場所ですが鮎料理専門店ですので是非訪ねてみて下さい！

(Translated by Google) You can't skimp on the taste. has volume The staff at the store are kind and warm. The sweetfish in the "Peony course" are salt-grilled, fried, sashimi, nigiri sushi, candied, and dengakuyaki. (Original) 味はケチの付け所がありません。 ボリュームがあります お店の方が親切で温かいです 「芍薬コース」の鮎は、塩焼き、唐揚げ、刺身、握り寿司、甘露煮、田楽焼き
