Tamagawa onsen, Akita Prefecture

⚠️ Located in the deep mountains of Senbei City, Akita Prefecture, Tamagawa Onsen, the first strongly acidic hot spring in Japan, has the highest outflow volume of any single spring in Japan. Next to the natural research road inside, geothermal resources are rich, natural rock bath is very famous in the local.

Due to the large amount of hydrogen sulfide gas emitted, there will be a special person near the soup hut to measure the concentration of the gas, so as not to wake up after a sleep. The hot springs here are extremely acidic, so they are diluted in different concentrations to meet different needs.

100% of the source of the pool soaking down is really sour, skin wounds should not try, there will be a kind of corrosion and ulcerating burning feeling... Don't ask me how I know that. There is also a warning posted on the door. Dinner at the hotel was good.

Must-play items
The driving simulation experience (need to book one day in advance) on the second floor of the room is for children to wear uniforms and operate the screen to drive and park at the station, just like real driver training. In the inbound line and Shinkansen, Shinkansen has to book on the official website at 8 o 'clock the night before or go to the 711 counter to buy, which seems to be more advanced. In the line of the morning to make an appointment in the afternoon there is a place, we made an appointment in the line, it is also very fun for the three-year-old children, to play with dad.

Model railway scene (Interior 2nd floor)
There are a lot of different trains in the criss-crossing tracks on the scene, the background from morning to dusk and then to the evening, really is very careful, baby see special attention, after coming back has been chanting. Unfortunately, the explanation is in Japanese, I can't understand. There are two shows in the morning and three or four in the afternoon.

Outdoor Steam Train (Outdoor 1st floor)
It is a small train of real coal steam, super cool, it will walk along the track for a while, and the steam is still black at the beginning, and the sound is particularly loud, I am also the first time to see, the baby sees the same steam train as the picture book, very excited. Price: Adults 300 yen, children 100 yen. There is also a small high-speed rail slide and a rocking horse in the shape of a high-speed rail train outside, which is also fun to play.

On the first floor of the interior, you can visit the interior of the locomotive, and see the various parts of the coal-burning steam train with very heavy and historical traces, which is still very shocking. All kinds of train models in the venue are very interesting to children, and they also saw the prototype of the Iron Dare train Man cartoon when they were young, which is really a youthful memory.

catering
There are bento trains on the outdoor ground floor. It seems that there is a restaurant on the second floor, and we went to the museum after lunch. With the baby also avoided the flow of people particularly large punch card attractions, such as Kiyomizu temple, three ban two ban and Fujimi Inami Dashe this is not suitable for pushing the stroller attractions did not go, and in order to meet the three-year-old small car fans choose this unpopular railway museum is an unexpected joy, absolutely worth the trip, and so the baby is a little bigger also worth two brush! There are not too many people on the weekends, probably because Japan has a low birth rate and there are fewer children. The experience is really great anyway, push!
