Akayu Onsen Public Footbaths
onsen
赤湯温泉足湯
Quiet 900-year-old onsen town with free foot baths, cult ramen, and nearby vineyards.
This unassuming onsen town south of Yamagata City scatters free ashiyu foot baths through its quiet streets, where locals soak while chatting about the day's harvest. The 900-year-old hot spring also hides excellent ramen shops. Akayu Ramen's spicy miso variant has a cult following. Nearby Nanyo vineyards produce award-winning wines from locally grown Delaware and Muscat Bailey A grapes.
