Onsen Yupopo Onsento is located in Semboku, Akita Prefecture, where sulfurous water emerges at 44°C. An indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo bath and a sauna make up this bathhouse in northern Japan.
Insider tip — Semboku city encompasses Lake Tazawa (Japan's deepest lake) and Tazawako Onsen, a celebrated volcanic spa. Yupopo Onsento draws from the same volcanic system — intense sulfurous water in a lakeside setting that turns electric blue at sundown.
