We came here for some relaxation time and bath after snowboarding 🏂 * Location: Conveniently located near Niseko Station (about a 5-minute walk). * Interior: Stylish and modern with concrete aesthetics, white windows, and high ceilings. * Entry Fee: Affordable at 600 Yen for adults. * Segregation: Separate bathing areas for men and women for privacy and comfort. * No Phones: Enforces a respectful and relaxing atmosphere. 🛁 Amenities: * Shampoo, body wash, and soap provided. * Hair dryers and cotton swabs available. * Resting area for families to meet. 🛀 Onsen Types: Two indoor hot springs and one outdoor onsen, plus a sauna and cold bath. * Resting Area: Offers souvenirs, vending machines (including drinks and ice cream), and massage services. ✅️ Tips for Visitors: * Bring Your Own: Towels and facial wash are recommended for a more comfortable experience.

This onsen seems is a great place to relax after some snow sport in winter 🥰

The hot spring itself is fantastic—the water is silky and leaves your skin feeling amazing. The location is perfect, right in front of Niseko Station, and the on-site bakery is a must-try. However, be warned about the winter season. It gets incredibly crowded in the evenings with tourists and skiers. You might have to wait for a shower stall, and the dressing room can feel quite cramped. It’s a 5-star experience if you go during the quiet afternoon hours, but the winter rush definitely takes away from the relaxation. Great value, but try to avoid peak times!

Lots of facilities. Show up early and reserve an incredibly good massage. Check the calendar for which gender gets to use which facilities on the day you arrive (the men and women get to use the Japanese or Western bathhouses on alternating days). I went on a day the men were in the Japanese onsen. It was awesome, the outdoor bath in particular

Very traditional Japanese onsen, that means full nude. No bathing suits allowed, FYI. You are expected to shower beforehand, do not expect to be able to cover up. Private baths are available for 2-3 persons, otherwise this is the deal. Very relaxing and affordable, but quite busy. Tattoos tolerated.

Had a surprisingly enjoyable moment in the outdoor bath when it suddenly started snowing. Something about the spritz of cold on the face and the heat of the water really elevated the experience. For a ¥600 entry (a bit more if you're renting a towel set) this was a very pleasant stop.
