Akita Dogs Haru and Hana Welcome Visitors to Akita Hot-Spring Resort

Visitors to Furusawa Onsen, a hot-spring resort in Akita Prefecture, enjoy a warm welcome from the resort’s two Akita dogs, Haru and her daughter Hana. Spending some time with the two fluffy canines is a great way for humans to relax and relieve stress. The pair now attract many domestic and international tourists. And their breed, also known by the Japanese name Akita-inu, has won wide recognition outside of Japan. Haru and Hana look forward to meeting and greeting you!
