Tsurunoyu (literally Crane's Bath) is the oldest and most famous hot spring resort in the hot spring resort villages of Nyuto Onsen. With its wooden buildings and mountain setting, it could be enjoyed any season. Still, the charm winter brings can not be beat. Those few moments your body is numbed by cold just make your soothing warm hot bath that much more pleasurable. There is even a konyoku mixed-gender bath outside. Socializing and relaxing under the gently falling snow with locals and travelers has been one of my best memories during my travels around the rugged North.
