A popular hot pot dish made with local ingredients
The hot spring inn's specialty is its original hot pot dish "Tsuta Nabe," which uses a local chicken called Shamorock. The secret to its deliciousness lies in the light yet rich Shamorock chicken soup, which is made with ingredients from Aomori Prefecture, chewy meat and meatballs, and meatballs made from sticky grated yam called "Yama no Imo," which is kneaded without any binders.

Hot Springs

A writer who loved and introduced Towada and Oirase
Omachi Keigetsu was a Meiji era writer who loved nature, travel and alcohol all his life. In his travel writings, he introduced his beloved Towada and Oirase to the world. Keigetsu spent his later years in Tsuta Onsen, and in 1925 he moved his registered domicile to Tsuta, using a six-tatami room as his winter room. That same year, he died at the age of 57, leaving behind a death poem that read, "A short rest on the mountain pass that leads to paradise, I cleanse myself in the baths of Tsuta." In front of the pond at Tsuta Onsen stands a monument bearing the poem, "The mountain of Tsuta, entangled with the lives of the people of the world, where the hot springs flow and the water is pure," and his grave remains near the inn.
