Onsen Resorts
Hot-spring resorts at the rim of a volcano, on a lake shore, deep in a snow forest. We match the water (sulphur, iron, carbonate) to your party — softer for children, restorative after a ski week.
Why it's unique in Hokkaido
Hokkaido has more thermal-water variation than any prefecture in Japan, thanks to its volcanic spine. Each town's onsen tastes and feels different.
