[Totou Sauna at the Foot of the World Heritage Shirakami Mountains] Fujisato Town is a idyllic town at the foot of the Shirakami Mountains. Although it is a small town with a population of less than 3,000, it boasts rich nature and delicious water. Would you like to enjoy a snow tent sauna in this quiet town? At the foot of the Shirakami Mountains, a World Heritage Site, this tent sauna uses the pure white snow that falls as a cold bath. "Yugi" in "Yugi Sauna" means "snow" in Akita dialect. We recommend the snow sauna surrounded by majestic mountains. Restrooms, restaurants, vending machines, and Yutoria hot spring resort facilities are also nearby, so even beginners to the outdoors can easily enjoy the sauna. We also have a special aroma “Totoi water” and a “handmade sauna hat”. "Totoi water" is an aromatic water with a secret scent made from the blessings of the mountains. We use mugwort leaves provided by Albion, which is very popular among women, and mugwort harvested at the foot of the Shirakami Mountains. Sprinkle "Totoi water" on the hot sauna stones with a ladle, and the refreshing scent of the forest will spread throughout the tent. The air is heated, and it also causes perspiration. The handmade sauna hat is an original sauna hat that uses domestic (Fujisato Town) wool. With this hat, you can enjoy a leisurely sauna while protecting your head from the heat. If you want to buy it as a souvenir, you can buy it at "Mori no Eki" or "Womo House Chiku Chiku". There are various designs, so please take a look. In addition, we have an environment for "Totou" such as infinity chairs, side tables, mineral water "Shirakami Sansui", bonfire, marshmallows, etc.
