Unveiling Hokkaido's Hidden Hot Springs

Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island, is a land of breathtaking natural beauty and fascinating cultural heritage. But beyond the well-trodden tourist paths lie hidden treasures waiting to be discovered: Hokkaido's hidden gem hot springs.

These secluded sanctuaries offer an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a chance to immerse yourself in nature's embrace and soothe your soul in steaming geothermal waters. Picture yourself surrounded by snow-capped mountains, lush forests, or the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, soaking in a natural hot spring under the starry night sky.

A Journey into Tranquility

Our curated selection of hidden hot springs will transport you to a world of tranquility and rejuvenation. From the rustic charm of a traditional onsen to the modern luxury of a secluded resort, we have something for every traveler.

Here are a few of our favorites:

Jozankei Onsen: A Tranquil Retreat near Sapporo

Just an hour from Sapporo, Jozankei Onsen is nestled in a valley, its 56 natural springs fed by the Toyohira River. The clear, sodium-rich waters are known for soothing tired muscles and easing nerve pain. In autumn, the surrounding forests transform into a vibrant tapestry of colors, adding to the magical atmosphere. Stay at the Jozankei View Hotel, a sprawling resort with an indoor pool and diverse hot spring baths.

Noboribetsu Onsen: A Hellish Paradise

Noboribetsu Onsen's hot springs boast a unique variety, sourced from the volcanic Jigokudani (Hell Valley). The milky white sulfur springs are particularly renowned for their skin-softening and healing properties. Explore the otherworldly landscape of Jigokudani, where steam billows from vents and the scent of sulfur fills the air. For a luxurious stay, consider Noboribetsu Onsenkyo Takinoya, offering rooms with private open-air baths.

Sounkyo Onsen: Adventure Meets Relaxation

Nestled at the foot of the majestic Daisetsuzan mountain range, Sounkyo Onsen is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Hike through the colorful Sounkyo Gorge, admire the frozen waterfalls in winter, or take the ropeway up to Mount Kurodake. After a day of adventure, soak in the sulfuric waters, known for relieving muscle and joint pain. Hotel Taisetsu Onsen & Canyon Resort offers stunning views of the Daisetsuzan mountains from its baths.

Yunokawa Onsen: A Coastal Escape Near Hakodate

Combine sightseeing in Hakodate with a rejuvenating stay at Yunokawa Onsen. This historic hot spring town is conveniently close to Hakodate Airport and the city center. The clear, silky waters are rich in sodium chloride and calcium, leaving your skin feeling refreshed. For a touch of luxury, indulge in the oceanfront Kappo Ryokan Wakamatsu, renowned for its fine dining and traditional hospitality.

Kawayu Onsen: Volcanic Healing Waters

Venture into Akan Mashu National Park to discover Kawayu Onsen, where the highly acidic waters flow directly from the volcanic Mount Io. The sulfuric waters are said to improve blood circulation, smooth skin, and even have antibacterial properties. After your soak, explore the scenic beauty of Lake Kussharo and Lake Mashu. Kinkiyu Hotel Bettei Suikazura offers a serene retreat with acidic baths and elegant accommodations.
