Senogayu Hot Springs

A plateau at an altitude of about 500m at the northern foot of Mount Hakkoda. One side is covered with a green lawn and is familiar as a place for citizens to relax. You can see Maedake and Tamoyachi in Kita Hakkoda. At the entrance of the plateau stands the Kayano Chaya, known for its long-lived tea.

The Yuji facility is located along the Hakkoda-Towada Gold Line, close to the Senigayu Onsen. A box-shaped wooden bench is set under the Tōya-style roof, and the hips are warmed by wearing their hips on the bench, where the steam of the hot springs rises from below. Also known as "Fukashiyu" or "Manju Fukashi", "Manju" is a Tsugaru dialect that refers to female genitality, and is effective for gynecology, coldness, and back pain. 24 hours use is free, but note that there is no electric light around.

Nicknamed National Route 103, which connects Aomori City to Lake Towada, it's an exhilarating driving route. It is a 63km sightseeing road along the Oirase Mountain Stream to Lake Towada, passing through the Kayano Kogen and the Shigayu hot springs at the southern foot of Mount Hakkoda, and the Kukumatsu Pass. On the way, it merges with National Route 394 and National Route 102 and runs in an overlapping manner, but you can see the mountains beyond the trees along the road, and you can experience the beauty of nature in spring, summer, autumn and winter. During the winter season, due to snow, only traffic between Aomori city and Shogayu Onsen is allowed, and in the spring April, about 8km between Shogayu Onsen and Towada Lake Valley was opened, with a snow corridor with towering snow walls on both sides of the road.
