End of July, during the rainy season we went to Tsurunoyu Onsen which is one of eight hot spring baths that belong to Nyuto Onsenkyo which is located near the foot of Nyuto mountain in Akita. There are rumors that the onsen water has healing qualities. The Onsen derives its name from a hunter who saw a crane (Tsuru in Japanese) healing its wounds in the spring.
