The echoing click clack of geta,
enshrouded in the drifting steam from the onsen,

you’re immersed in the scent from the hot springs.

This is one of the three famous mountain onsen in Tohoku,
Mogami Takayu “Zao Onsen”.


Founded in January 2020 on Takayu Street,
“Zao Onsen Yutabiya Takayudo” is Japan’s first
onsen-themed souvenir shop.

We gathered only the best things to help you further enjoy the onsen town,
with a concept of “Your Onsen Style”. It’s a one of a kind shop in Japan.

What’s an Onsen-themed shop?

POINT

1

Over 300 items gathered from around Japan, with a focus on the Tohoku region

Our items are personally chosen by the owner of Takayudo. In most of what we carry, you can feel how carefully each one was made, with traditional beauty and good sense.
