Akita Akita City
Enjoy free-flowing spring water from a bear-shaped spout at this secluded hot spring in the birthplace of the Matagi
Features
"Mataginoyu, Datto Onsen" is a secluded hot spring inn with just one building, standing in the birthplace of Matagi culture in Kitaakita City, Akita Prefecture. In a tranquil setting surrounded by rich mountains and clear streams, guests can fully enjoy the famous Datto Onsen, a sodium-calcium chloride spring long cherished by Matagi hunters and local residents, through luxurious free-flowing spring water directly from the source. In the large public bath, a signature feature of this inn is the steady flow of hot spring water from a humorous spout shaped like a bear's head, fitting for a Matagi lodge. There is also an open-air bath where you can soak while looking out over the peaceful rural scenery, and the water keeps you warm deep to the core and makes you less likely to cool down afterward.
A spacious large public bath with a close-up view of the green mountains. True to Mataginoyu, fresh, rich natural hot spring water flows abundantly from a unique spout shaped like a bear's head. The water is colorless and clear, with a faint sulfur scent that gives it a classic hot spring atmosphere. Rich in salt, it helps your skin retain heat after bathing, as if wrapped in a veil, leaving you pleasantly warm for a long time.
An open-air bath with a large roof, offering panoramic views of tranquil rural scenery and beautiful mountains. Relax and enjoy the free-flowing spring water while feeling the pleasant mountain breeze. From spring's fresh greenery, to summer's vivid foliage, autumn's brilliant colors, and winter's quiet snowy landscape, this luxurious healing space lets you experience the dramatic seasonal changes of Ani, once also a Matagi hunting ground, with all five senses.
A clean and comfortable private family bath that can be used privately by families and groups. There are 2 rooms in total, and overnight guests can use it for 1 hour free of charge. You can spend a relaxed, private time without worrying about others. (*The water in this private bath is not natural hot spring water.)
