Yuhi Onsen WAO, whose name evokes the setting sun, is a bathhouse in Oga, Akita prefecture, known for its sea views. Its sodium-chloride water at 42°C feeds an indoor bath, a rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — Yuhi WAO, the sunset WOW spring, delivers on its name with panoramic Oga Peninsula sunsets over the Japan Sea visible from outdoor baths. Oga is famous for the fearsome Namahage, demon-costumed figures who visit homes on New Year Eve to drive out laziness — a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage tradition.
