Hotel Towadaso

Hotel Towadaso stands in Yasumiya on the shore of Lake Towada and has two large public baths, each with a different atmosphere: the purely Japanese-style “Mikura,” with a yagura tower standing in the middle of the tub, and “Caldera,” modeled on an ancient temple with standing pillars. The two baths alternate between men and women. Each large bath has an adjoining open-air bath, but these are closed in winter. The spacious changing rooms have powder rooms, and children's chairs and shampoo hats are also provided. Hair dryers, razors, body soap and rinse-in shampoo can be used free of charge. The lobby displays many Aomori Nebuta and Tohoku kokeshi dolls, and visitors can also see the Suehiro Otaki waterfall, 15 m high and 5 m wide. It is 45 minutes by car from Towada IC.
