Kuwabatake Onsen (Yun Yun) is located in Kazamaura village, Aomori Prefecture, at the northern tip of Honshu, Japan. Its sodium-chloride water emerges at around 41°C, with an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — In Kazamaura, the remote fishing village at the northeastern tip of Aomori near Cape Shiriya and just across the Tsugaru Strait from Hokkaido, Yun Yun onsen steams with the playful energy of its onomatopoeic name; this is one of Honshu's northernmost hot springs — the Tsugaru Strait currents, wild coastline, and tuna fishing tradition of Oma nearby make Kazamaura a dramatically remote destination.
