Akita 🇯🇵Oyasu Gorge

Oyasu Gorge is a V-shaped gorge formed by the rapids of the Minase River, which deeply eroded both banks over a long period of time. Walk down the stairs about 60 meters along the rocks and you will see the trail ahead. This place where hot water and steam gushes out violently and you can feel the breath of the earth is the number one attraction in Oyasu Gorge, the "Big Hot Spring". This rare geothermal cap is formed when cracks in the geothermal storage layer expose the steam and hot water stored in it. The sight of the dense steam is stunning. Although you can also see the steam eruption from Kawara Yu Bridge, it is easier to go down the stairs if you are more diligent and wear light shoes. You can definitely feel the amazing energy of nature. #2024TravelReview
