Ani-Maeda Onsen Station (Quince Moriyoshi)

阿仁前田温泉駅(クウィンス森吉)

Akita · Tohoku

Japan's first hot-spring bath built directly into a train station building, on the Akita Nairiku Line at the foot of Mount Moriyoshi. Operated as 'Quince Moriyoshi,' it offers a soak, meals, and lodging right at the platform.

Why it's hidden

Reachable only via the little-used third-sector Akita Nairiku Railway, which most Lake Tazawa/Nyuto Onsen visitors never ride.
