Mountain-side retreat

Nestled in the mountains just outside Sapporo, Hoheikyo Onsen is celebrated for its expansive open-air baths surrounded by nature. Fed by 100% free-flowing natural hot spring water, it offers a deeply rejuvenating experience in all seasons—especially striking during autumn foliage and snowy winter months. Located near the picturesque Hoheikyo Dam and Jozankei area, it’s a perfect day-trip escape for hikers, onsen enthusiasts, and those seeking tranquility. The on-site Indian restaurant is also a local favorite, offering a unique culinary twist to the visit.
