Yuzawa claims to be the birthplace of the famous Heian period poet Ono no Komachi.
Yuzawa is located at the far southeast corner of Akita Prefecture, bordered by mountains to the south, east and west.
Yuzawa has a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa) with large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes severely cold) winters. Precipitation is significant throughout the year, but is heaviest from August to October.
The area of present-day Yuzawa was part of ancient Ugo Province, dominated by the Satake clan during the Edo period, who ruled Kubota Domain under the Tokugawa shogunate. Much of the territory was part of the 20,000 koku subsidiary feudal domain of Iwasaki Domain (岩崎藩 Iwasaki-han?).
