SPOT
In the Lake Akan Onsen Hot Spring Resort area, there is a place that is believed to be the birthplace of the tezu (hand bath), which has now spread to many places in Japan. One of them is the Teyu next to the Kato-sato Folk Crafts Store, which has a rock bathtub. The "Owl Handbath" in front of the nearby folk craft store "Kankodo" is a hot spring bath in an elm tree cave. The name "owl" is derived from "Ezo-shima Owl," the guardian deity of Kotan.
