Oyasu Ravine in Tohoku’s Akita Prefecture is a lush valley full of onsen (hot springs) and year-round recreation. Located at the entrance to Kurikoma Quasi-National Park, Oyasu Ravine has V-shaped cliffs that are several miles long and over 100 feet high, creating a dramatic sight. Walk down the stairs to the bottom of the valley, and you will see a steamy hot river, enveloped by lush trees and small waterfalls. Heated by natural thermal currents, the river creates clouds of steam.
