Tokachidake Onsen Kamihoro-so

Located in the Kamifurano Tokachidake Onsenkyo hot spring area of ​​Daisetsuzan National Park, Kamihoro-so boasts breathtaking views from an altitude of 1200m. If you're lucky, you might even spot Hokkaido deer or red foxes in front of the baths.

Upon entering the indoor bath, you'll find a large wooden bathhouse filled with the scent of wood, where you can enjoy bathing while gazing at the magnificent natural scenery.

The biggest attraction is the natural open-air bath with a panoramic view of the Furano Basin. If you have the time, I highly recommend staying overnight so you can enjoy a star walk while gazing at the starry sky, or take a morning bath and admire the sea of ​​clouds!

The sea of ​​clouds from Kamihoro Lodge is in season from June to October.

5. Take a short detour and enjoy two different types of hot springs!

Tokachidake Onsen Yumoto Ryounkaku

This facility boasts a panoramic view of the Tokachi Mountain Range and is renowned for its excellent hot springs, attracting many repeat customers. Located at an altitude of 1280m, the highest point in Hokkaido, the view from the hot springs is truly spectacular, so breathtakingly beautiful that you'll want to linger in the bath.

The natural open-air bath is wonderful, as it utilizes the mountain slope and is built without disrupting nature, giving it a feel similar to a wild open-air bath! Furthermore, until early summer, you can enjoy bathing while gazing at the remaining snow on the Tokachi mountain range.

Another attraction is that you can enjoy two types of hot springs at the same time. The secret to its popularity is that it has both an acidic spring, which is said to have a skin-tightening effect, and an iron spring, which is said to warm you to the core and keep you warm for a long time after bathing, both flowing directly from the source. Be sure to enjoy the hot springs and more!

Located about 60 minutes from Furano and close to the popular "Blue Pond" known for its fantastical beauty, this resort hotel is situated in the Shirogane Onsen hot spring area.

As expected from Shirogane Onsen, which boasts an abundant supply of hot spring water, the baths are free-flowing and not recirculated. Because the source water is a relatively hot 51°C, only a minimal amount of cold water is added.

Incidentally, the name Shirogane Onsen (Platinum Hot Spring) is said to have originated in 25 when the town mayor at the time referred to it as "something precious that deserves to be called platinum."
This resort hotel is a popular base for sightseeing in Furano and Biei, as well as for climbing Mount Tokachi.
