Wonderful Scenery and Free Flowing Hot Springs -Niseko Kogane Onsen-
June 1st, 2015
Niseko Kogane Onsen (ニセコ黄金温泉) is a hot spring facility in Rankoshi town. Hayashi couple, a little less than 80 years old, runs it. Originally they were a farm family, and hot springs gushed out when they dug agricultural well water, and they built the hot spring facility at their site. I was surprised at the hot spring facility because all facilities about the hot springs were handmade. Niseko Kogane Onsen is famous for having a semi-mixed bathing open-air bath and fresh free flowing hot spring. Many hot spring enthusiasts come to this hot spring facility. By the way, visitors can not take a bath in a winter.
There are 1 indoor bath, 1 large open-air bath, 1 small open-air bath and 2 open-air pot baths at a bathhouse. If it is fine, a view of the open-air bath is wonderful. Bathers can look at Mt. Yotei (羊蹄山) from open-air bath. Water temperature of the indoor bath was the highest, and the large open-air bath might be warm. In addition, the hot springs were oxidized and became yellow ocher.
By the way, the hot springs of small open-air bath and open-air pot baths seemed to gush out without oxidizing and its color was clear. In addition, natural air bubbles rose from the bottom! This was very interesting.
The hot springs are sodium chloride bicarbonate sulfate spring, and are opaque and yellow ocher and have metallic taste and metallic taste smell. The sum total of the hot spring ingredient are 3.389 g. The hot springs are used for a shower and a water service at the bathhouse, too. Because the hot springs were drinkable, I drank it from a faucet with my hands. It had a metallic taste and carbonic acid was not felt. Shampoos and body soaps are provided at the bathhouse. A free hair dryer is installed in a dressing room. You should get a wash beforehand at a restroom of outside.
