Hanazawa Onsen Simplified Public Bathhouse

Hanazawa Onsen Simplified Public Bathhouse is a public bathhouse opened a buisness in 1997, and is well-known for enjoying 100% natural free flowing hot springs, and is popular with local people. Although I visited here 2 times, the first visit was Tuesday (regular closing day), and a parking lot was filled with cars the second visit, so I gave up taking a bath. A building was renwed in December 2017. Simplified Public Bathhouse was the perfect word to describe the former building, But the new building is unsuitable for the Simplified Public Bathhouse after renewing, the public bathhouse is very fine. An entrance fee to the bath facility is JPY 200.

There are 1 outdoor bath and 2 indoor baths at a public bathhouse. The tiled bathhouse is small but cozy. Water temperature of the indoor baths are 43 C and 39 C. The indoor bath with 39 C is newly established because Hokkaido Shinbun Press says that former indoor bath was too hot. Therefore the indoor baths may use 100% natural free flowing hot springs or free flowing hot springs adding water.

The hot springs are sodium chloride carbonated spring, and are clear and colorless and have slighly salty taste and no smell, and are drinkable, too. It seems to be effect for Chronic digestive diseases, Chronic constipation, Diabetes, Gout and Liver disease. Shampoos and body soaps are not provided at the bathhouse, visitors must bring their shampoos and body soaps.

Blog Writer:good! hokkaido!

I am from Nayoro, and used to live in Kushiro and Sapporo, and have been back Hokkaido after I lived in Kanagawa prefecture for 14 years again. Around 50-year-Japanese old boy mainly have released articles that I found nature, tourist attractions, onsen and foods in the Hokkaido to the non-Hokkaido people. I am bad English, so I apologize if you do not understand the meaning. Using photos are my photos, free images, various tourism associations’ photos and photos cited from official websites and so on. Reproduction of my photos and texts from within this site is prohibited.As for my photos, I used to provide those for profit, but I stop providing the photos now. Most of youtube movies belong to others, and I just share those on my blog.
