Aomori's Secret Hideaway | Tsuta Onsen Ryokan & Tsutanumuma Morning BBQ Guide✨

#September Destinations 2025

【Tsutanoyu Onsen Ryokan Experience】 A thousand-year-old hidden gem nestled in Aomori's primeval forest! 💫

📍Address: Tsutanoyu-1, Okuse

The moment you push open the washi paper sliding door, you're instantly soothed. The tatami room is filled with the scent of cypress wood, and the window frames are like natural landscape paintings. 🖼️ The highlight after nightfall is soaking in the milky-white hot spring water, where you can hear the calls of deer while counting stars. 🦌

Enjoy the steaming hot yamen-shaped salt-grilled food and handmade soba noodles on the kotatsu table. 🍜 The hostess will thoughtfully lay out a perfectly warm blanket for you, and in the morning, she'll gently knock on your door to take you to see the morning pyre! I truly love this level of service. 💕

🌈【Tsutanoyu Morning Pyre Spectacle】
Best viewing period: Mid-October

📍Address: Tsutanoyu Okuse, Towada

You need to grab a spot by 4 AM! As the morning light shines over Mount Hakkoda 🌅, a magical ten minutes unfolds: maple leaves transform into translucent flames 🔥, and the entire swamp instantly comes alive! Reality and reflection are perfectly symmetrical, so beautiful it takes your breath away...

📸Photography Tips:

1. Bring a telephoto lens.

2. Wear waterproof boots (the swamp edges are very muddy).

3. Pack hand warmers (it gets extremely cold in the early morning).

The most touching part of this trip was simultaneously experiencing two sides of Aomori: the warmth of human kindness ❤️ and the breathtaking wonders of nature 🌀
