Lake Shikotsu Hot Spring

Very nice hot spring! Indoor baths and and outdoor bath where that overlooks the lake. A bit pricey but well worth it. You can walk out to the lakefront, there’s a path just at the right side of the hotel. Will definitely stay one night here next time- it’s lovely, and secluded!

Very scenic nice view of nature. The scenery is breathtaking and refreshing. Problem is there is not much to do outside of scenery. Cruise was nice where you can go below the ship and get a glimpse of the fishy. Public transportation from chitose station is infrequent.

Enjoyed strolling the downtown onsen area!! It's a huge park surrounded by nature, saw quite a few people with dogs. You can actually stay in some of the hotels with them and go out if you stay in the 1F rooms with the balcony.

There is a nice place here for hot spring just near the lake Utonai. There is also a mini museum wherein you can she artifacts of bears and wild animals. You can also buy some souvenirs from the place
