Sukayu Onsen


Sukayu Onsen (酸ヶ湯 Sukayu?) is an onsen (hot spring) in the city of Aomori, Aomori Prefecture in Japan. It is known for its "Sen-nin-buro" or "1,000-person bath", a large mixed gender public bath.

It also holds the record of having the highest snow depth ever recorded at a JMA certified weather station of 566 cm (18.57 ft), recorded on February 26, 2013. Despite the extremely high snowfall, Sukayu Onsen is accessible by road all year round.
