Sukayu Hot spring
Touji Inn in Hakkouda
Sukayu Onsen is located in Towada-Hachimantai National Park. It was designated as “National Recreational Hot Spring Resort No. 1” in 1954 in recognition of its outstanding hot spring benefits, abundant spring water, spacious accommodations, pure natural environment, convenient transportation, and low rates. The famous “Hiba Senninburo” baths are 160 tatami in size, and the culture of mixed bathing still exists today (women-only hours are available in the morning and evening). A variety of rooms are available, from quaint Touji rooms to Western-style rooms with beds, where you can relax and unwind from the daily grind.
The Hakkoda Ropeway is located in the vicinity of Sukayu, where you can enjoy the magnificent nature of Hakkoda (Hakkoda mountain range) and enjoy the spectacular view that changes with each season: fresh greenery in spring, alpine flora in summer, autumn leaves in fall, and tree ice in winter. The Hakkoda ropeway is open from mid-May for fresh green leaves, August for summer skiing, late September to mid-October for autumn leaves, late November to mid-May for winter skiing, and January to late February for juhyo (ice covered trees).
Hakkoda is the general name for the mountain range in the northern part of Towada-Hachimantai National Park, consisting of more than 10 peaks with the main peak, Hakkoda-dake, at the center. The area is crowded with climbers from spring through fall, as wetlands are found everywhere and the area is a treasure trove of alpine flora.
Like Sangayu Onsen, Jogakura Bridge is located in Towada-Hachimantai National Park. With a total length of 360 meters and arch span of 255 meters, it is Japan's largest upper arch bridge. The view of the Jogakura Stream from a height of approximately 120 meters is beautifully colored in autumn, with the trees overlapping each other, providing a magnificent view of the Hakkouda mountain range throughout the four seasons.
