Hot Spring That Bear Healed His Wound in Edo Period -Kenichi Onsen in Yakumo-

Kenichi Onsen Ryokan

Kenichi Onsen Ryokan (見市温泉旅館) is a hot-spring ryokan in Kumaishi, Yakumo town located in the northwestern part of Hakodate city. As for opening Kenichi Onsen, Mr. Yokichi Otsuka (大塚要吉) tramped over hills during the Keio year of the Edo period, and it is said that he discovered a damaged bear that took a hot spring on the shore of Kenichi River (見市川). In fact, Kenichi Onsen Ryokan stands alone in mountains and is famous for looking over excellent view at an open-air bath.

There are 1 open-air bath and 1 indoor bath at a bathhouse. The open-air bath is the size that about 5 people take a bath. The Kaitorima River flows in fron of bathers eyes, the bathers can see a view with spacious. I felt a sense of openness. Fresh hot springs flew freely into a bathtub. By the way, a pot was used for an outlet as a bucket for some reason. The hot springs of this open-air bath was too hot to me and I was not able to take a bath. Bad luck!

The indoor bath is the size that about 10 people take a bath. Fresh hot springs flew freely into the bathtub, too. Water temperature of the hot springs were suitable temperature, and I was able to take a bath comfortably.

The hot springs are sodium chloride spring, and are opaque and light yellow and have salty taste and no smell. The sum total of the hot spring ingredients are 5.106 g. Unfortunately, the hot springs are not drinkable. Shampoos and body soaps are provided at the bathhouse. A paid hair dryer is insalled at a dressing room, but there is not a restroom. You should get a wash beforehand at the restroom at a corridor. A staying is possible, too.
