Onsen - Turunoyu (鶴の湯温泉) (2/2/2006)

鶴の湯温泉

Turunoyu Onsen (鶴の湯温泉) is 30-40 minutes away from Tazawako train station (田沢湖駅) by a vehicle.

When you arrive the Tazawako train station, please contact the Onsen you want to stay. They may tell you to take which no. of bus and wait for their shuttle bus at a said bus stop, as the onsen is not by the side of the bus route.

The bus terminal is in front of the Tazawako train station(田沢湖駅).

On 2/2/2006, we had a free shuttle bus pick-up at " Tazawako Kogan Onsen " bus stop ( " nipple " line ) as there was a big snow on that day. I have not asked whether they do it when the weather is fine. We met two Japanese girls came from Kyushu at this station. both of us chose Turunoyu.

We enjoyed the onsen in the morning and tasted a special lunch. Two girls told us to try the meal with a fish. It is very famous. many people like to order it.

The snow scenery is very beautiful. We will go there and stay one night to take some photos. The night scenery is beautiful too, I think.
I tell you why I choose Turunoyu as I have seen the photo of it at night in advertisment.
It is one of my favourite onsens. Would it become one of your favourite onsens after viewing my photos?
Tazawako JR train station is on the Akita shinkansen line.
