Muddy hot springs are popular for the beauty effects on the skin!
This hot spring inn stands alone in the mountains within Towada Hachimantai National Park. Steam rises in the vicinity with the source spring gushing out and a mud volcano which reminds you of Jigokudani (Hell Valley).
The simple sulfur spring provides gray opaque water effective for skin rash, nerve pain, stomach / intestine diseases and more. There is even an old saying, “Come to Goshougake on a horse and walk away.” It is very sulfuric and keeping eggs in the hot spring turns the shell into black. Black eggs are the local specialty.
They have “Seven Hot Waters” - Steam Box, Waterfall, Steam Sauna, etc. Mud Bath, coming from 1000m underground and containing mud, is especially popular among women for its hot pack effect and beauty skin effect. This mud is made into soap or skin packs and sold as souvenirs. Some guest rooms use geothermal energy to warm up the floor. You can just sit in the warm room for therapeutic effects.
Kazuno City, where Goshougake Onsen is located, is the birthplace of Akita’s specialty, Kiritanpo. The inn is famous for delicious meals made of local ingredients.
