Yuzawa: A Journey Through Inaniwa Udon and Oyasu Gorge's Grand Hot Spring Geyser
Yuzawa in Akita is the birthplace of legend and Inaniwa udon. Prepare for your journey at Michi no Eki Ogachi Komachi no Sato, then touch the Komachi legend at the brilliantly red Komachi Hall before visiting Satow Yosuke Souhonten, founded in 1860. Savor the legendary Inaniwa udon after watching the craftsmen's hand-work—the texture is exceptional. In the afternoon, experience the spectacular sight of hot water and steam erupting with a thunderous roar into the 60-meter-deep Oyasu Gorge (小安峡), and the breathtaking landscape of Kawarahage Hell (川原毛地獄), one of Japan's three great spiritual sites with its ash-white mountainsides. A perfect day for a group of mature women friends seeking both delicious food and dramatic scenery.
