Hot springs in Nuruyu

The oldest of the Kuroishi hot spring cluster in Aomori Prefecture, set along the Aseishi River near Nakano Momijiyama Mountain. The water is lightly green-tinted and rises at around 41.7 degrees Celsius, making it comfortably warm for long soaks. A kokeshi doll stands at the village entrance, honoring the Tsugaru region's folk-craft tradition. A kokeshi museum and craft center are nearby.
