Hello,
  My name is Meg and I signed up for this forum to get more information about the Tamagawa Onsen in Akita prefecture. You see, I'm currently taking Japanese 102 at community college and the teacher assigned us an onsen project. I chose to do mine on the Tamagawa Onsen and I already have most of the information I need. The categories of information I need include:

Location of the hot spring
Health effects of the hot spring/the facility
The history of the hot spring
How it serves the community
Famous food or souvenirs relating to the hot spring
other attractions in the area

I already have plenty of information for everything except the history and famous food/souvenir categories. I have a very little information on the history, but absolutely nothing for the famous food/souvenirs. Can anybody help me by supplying information or links pertaining to these two subjects?

Here's a list of links I've already visited pertaining to the Tamagawa Onsen:
