This hotel is located near the last stop, Minakami Station, which is 25 minutes away by bus from Jomo-Kogen Station on the Joetsu Shinkansen. The open-air bath offers a magnificent Breathtaking view. This is Ryokan (Japanese inn) where you can forget about the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The food is delicious, and you can enjoy the bounty of the mountains.

The reason we recommend this Ryokan (Japanese inn) is that you can enjoy the famous Manza Onsen hot springs in the middle of nature surrounded by mountains on all sides. Ryokan (Japanese inn) is not a large modern hotel, but it has everything you need and you won't feel inconvenienced. Above all, the hot springs are so satisfying that you can try out the different baths.

This quiet hot spring hotel is located in Asahidake Onsen, about an hour from Asahikawa, and has an exterior reminiscent of a European mountain resort hotel, with relaxing rooms. Although it is in the mountains, the full-course Western meal service is delicious, using ingredients unique to Hokkaido. Needless to say, there is a wonderful hot spring, but there are also three free private baths that you can enjoy whenever they are available. This is a recommended place for trips around Asahikawa.

Although it can no longer be called a secret hot spring, why not visit the Shiretoko Peninsula in Hokkaido? The hotel I recommend is the Shiretoko Daiichi Hotel. It has an open-air bath facing the Sea of Okhotsk. This hotel serves delicious seafood from the north. What's more, the portions are generous.

How about "Kyukamura Shikotsuko"? It is built on the shores of Lake Shikotsu, and is a relaxing inn surrounded by Hokkaido's nature. You can enjoy the natural hot spring baths while feeling the four seasons of Lake Shikotsu. Another plus point is that the food is delicious.

Although it is only about an hour away from Shinjuku Station, I think this hot spring inn is not well known. It is located above Fuefukigawa Fruit Park, which is said to be one of the three new great night views in Japan, and the night view of the Kofu Basin that can be seen at night is very beautiful. The open-air bath while watching the night view is a masterpiece.

We recommend that you consider the Shiretoko Prince Hotel Fuunamiki in Shiretoko as one of your options. You can enjoy the hot springs while immersing yourself in the forest bathing atmosphere in the garden-style open-air bath 100% natural hot spring. You can fully enjoy nature here. Children can play freely in the kids' space, so it's a hotel that the whole family can enjoy.

Noboribetsu Onsen is probably the most famous hot spring in Hokkaido, but I recommend this place because the large public bath is spacious and the quality of the water is good, so you can relax. There is also a service where you can enjoy alcoholic and soft drinks in the open-air bath, which is something you can hardly experience at other inns. Not only can you relax, but you can also have meals in your room, which is luxurious. There is also a table tennis and games corner on the premises, so children will not get bored.

There are many types of rooms to choose from, including Japanese-Japanese and Western room and Japanese-style Western style rooms. There are also several hot springs to enjoy, and you can relax in the midst of nature. The hotel is built on a cliff, so the views change with the seasons.
