Japan🇯🇵Akita Omoriyama Zoo🐒

#trip A top choice for family outings Akita Omoriyama Zoo is a wonderful place brimming with nature, allowing children to observe animals up close while having fun. Built into the hillside, the zoo offers a spacious environment and fresh air. Walking in with children feels like entering an animal paradise hidden within the forest. When they first saw the adorable pandas and capybaras, the children were immediately captivated and excitedly observed and learned about their habits. The zoo's layout is remarkably natural, with spacious areas for each animal, such as the kangaroo, hedgehog, and elephant enclosures. Children can observe the animals' daily lives up close, feeling more like experiencing their world than just "seeing animals." A section of the zoo features walking trails weaving through the lush greenery, allowing you to spot a variety of birds and small animals as you stroll. The children would often stop and exclaim, "There's a monkey!" or "That's so big!"—this natural learning process was truly vivid. Particularly impressive is the interactive experience area, where children can gently pet and feed small animals up close, learning to respect life and understand the need for gentle treatment. The zoo also features a recreational area with a small Ferris wheel and carousel, allowing children to relax and have fun, combining education with entertainment. Overall, Akita Omoriyama Zoo is a place that combines nature, ecology, and parent-child interaction. Children can learn and observe through relaxed play, while adults can experience the joy of exploring nature alongside their children. Upon exiting the zoo, witnessing the children's satisfied smiles and the gentle chatter about the animals, you'll feel that this trip wasn't just a day out, but a gentle lesson in life. @trip.com_tw Download the Trip.com app and search for "FamilyTravel" on the homepage.

Nyuto Onsenkyo

Nyuto Onsen – Hot Springs in the Akita Valley – October 20, 2025 In the quiet autumn foliage of northern Japan, a winding path amid fields and fiery foliage leads us to a straw-roofed village that has remained largely unchanged. Old wooden houses, thatched with thatch and stacked timbers, resemble the skin of the mountain itself. Surrounded by tall suzuki trees, the autumn leaves sway in the cool breeze. Akita's autumn is filled with the scent of rain-soaked wood and the hum of forest insects. This village is not just a scene, but a glimpse into the real life of the people of "Yukatamura" (湯治村), or healing villages—where locals use natural hot springs to heal ailments and recuperate from travel. This is Nyuto Onsen (Nyūtō Onsen-kyō), a historic onsen village in Senboku City, Akita Prefecture, comprising seven hot springs. 1. Tsuru-no-yu (Oldest, Milky White) 2. Kuroyu (Dark Gray Water) (Distinctive sulfur smell) 3. Magoroku (Small forest pond with outdoor bath) 4. Ganiba (Streamside pond with a tranquil atmosphere) 5. Taenoyu (Valley view, open to the public) 6. Ogama (Forest hot spring with clear mineral water) 7. Kyukamura (Onsen in a national park lodge) Legend has it that during the Edo period, samurai from the Kuba clan often came to Tsuru-no-yu to heal their ailments. This hot spring was named after the cranes that once stopped to heal their wounds there. People believed that the hot springs from Mount Nyuto were "nature's medicine," healing both body and soul. So, where did we go to capture some photos and enjoy the onsen? Stay tuned for the next episode! 😀 📍 Semboku, Akita Prefecture, Japan Recommended time: October — The red leaves and the hot air converge at their most beautiful. #NyutoOnsen #Akita #JapanAutumn #JapanOnsen #TravelJapan #JapaneseOnsen #onsentrip
