Located in the mountains of the Akita Towada-Hachimantai National Park, Tamagawa Onsen is a unique hot spring resort! Indeed the onsen is famous for having Japan’s most acidic hot spring water with a pH of around 1. It features a very rare radioactive stone, known as Hokutolite. The stone is believed to have a wide range of health benefits, including but not limited to preventing cancer, thus attracting many cancer patients across Japan.

The Tamagawa Onsen valley is also the place of Japan’s single most productive hot spring source capable of delivering up to 900 liters of 98c hot water is a single splash. It is also populated by many smaller sources of hissing sulfur and hot water, making the soil of the whole area often hotter than the surrounding air. This explains why many people lay down on the ground during autumn to keep warm while inhaling the supposedly healthy sulfurous air as well as hoping to absorb some of the radioactive Hokutolite stone’s purported health benefits.

  1. My ex-boyfriend was from Akita. I hope I never bump into him if I go there 😱

  2. TokyoStreetView, it is no wonder that your newest video upload, like all past ones alike, has achieved success of the highest order for all to behold and witness in admiration. On one day, I will imitate your success!

  3. 秋田県の山奥にある玉川温泉。 東京(首都圏)から一泊二日で行ける距離なら、もの凄い温泉の観光地になったと思う。 秋田県の山奥にある玉川温泉は場所が悪かったと思う。
