Tsuta Onsen
©AFLO
Tsuta Onsen, nestled halfway up the southern part of the Hakkoda Mountains deep inside Aomori prefecture, is surrounded by a quiet beech forest. Here, things run to "forest time."
Time for a single beech seedling to become a great tree, and finally return to the earth.
Time for a rich forest to offer a rich source of water.
Time for the wet marshland to transform into soft forest.
One minute of life in the city is not the same as one minute spent in an onsen hotel in the forest.
Say goodbye to frantic busy time for a little while, and enjoy the relaxing "forest time."
