Jozankei Onsen
Jozankei Onsen (定山渓温泉) is a famous hot-spring resort in Sapporo city suburbs, and one of the 3 major hot spring resorts in Hokkaido together with Noboribetsu Onsen (登別温泉) and Yunokawa Onsen (湯の川温泉). Jozankei is called a back room of Sapporo (札幌の奥座敷), and 2.4 million people per year visit the Jozankei Onsen that is near the center of Sapporo for about 60 minutes. Oversea visitors increased in hot spring boom recently, too.



A Buddhist priest called Mr. Jozan Mizumi (美泉定山) opened a therapeutic bath at this place in 1866, and it is an origin of Jozankei. There was a deep forest in those days, but it changes to the hot-spring resort that 23 accommodations are built now. All buildings of hotels are huge, and you will be surprised at the development. In addition, there are restaurants, cafes, Izakaya, bars with a surcharge, convenience stores and souvenir shops. Cafe Gake-no-Ue (カフェ崖の上) and Daikokuya Shoten (大黒屋商店) are popular in particular.

Footbaths are built here and there. At Kokoro-no-Sato Jozan (心の里定山), a footbath and a lounge can be used for JPY 1500. Outside food and drinks are allowed. In addition, anyone can use the footbaths for free at Gensen Park Footbath (源泉公園の足湯), Choju-to-Kenko-no-Ashitsubo Footbath (長寿と健康の足つぼ湯) and Taro-no-Yu Footbath (足のふれあい太郎の湯).




Snow sports as well as the hot springs are very popular, and there are Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort (札幌国際スキー場) and Nakayama Pass Ski Resort (中山峠スキー場) near the hot spring resort. Fresh green can be enjoyed in a spring, Hiking and a rafting can be enjoyed in a summer, Fall foliage and a canoe can be enjoyed in an autumn, Snow sports can be enjoyed in a winter, and it is very rare place that the tourists can enjoy nature of Hokkaido near the downtown area. But a traffic is crowded on the weekend and holidays.




As for a parking lot, Jozankei Sports Park Free Parking Lot (定山渓スポーツ公園の無料駐車場) is provided in fron of Jozankei Manseikaku Hotel Millione (定山渓万世閣ホテルミリオーネ). But it is full immediately at the rush. By the way, Resort Liner (リゾートライナー) and Yuttari Liner (直通バス湯ったりライナー), a nonstop bus, run between New Chitose Airport and Jozankei Onsen, and Kappa Liner (かっぱライナー号), a nonstop bus, runs between the central part of Sapporo and Jozankei Onsen, so those would be very convenient.
SAPPORO
Sapporo (札幌) that about 1,960,000 people live is the largest city in Hokkaido. Although there are various theories, its origin of the name is “Dry Big River (乾いた大きな川)” in Ainu language. A population of the Sapporo is the 4th largest city after Yokohama, Osaka and Nagoya in japan, and the population accounts for 36 % of Hokkaido’s population! So the Sapporo has been flourished as the center of the Hokkaido. The area of the Sapporo is 1,121.26 km2, and is about as big as Hong Kong, and is the 7th largest city in the Hokkaido. The Sapporo is also famous as a tourist city, and about 15 million people come. As for a climate, it is hot that temperature rises to nearly 25 degrees in a summer, but it is easy to live without moisture. I always feel a little cool. It is cold that temperature falls to nearly -10 degrees in a winter, and amount of snowfall sometimes has more than 1 m. Read More

Yukyu-no-Yado Shiraito
Shiraito is a small-sized long-established onsen ryokan founded in 1960. Interior decoration uses a lot of woods, so the warmth of the wood can be felt. This ryokan won the first place in the Jalan (Japanese famous travel magazine) “A category of the accommodations less than 10 rooms in 2012”. Probably the reasons are fresh free flowing hot-springs, delicious dishes and their kindness. At first, they told visitors minutely that Outdoor Bathroom (露天風呂) was away from Large Public Bathhouse (大浴場), and bathers must move between the outdoor bathroom and the large public bathhouse in their clothes. Their customer service was very good. A staying is possible, too. An entrance fee to the bath facility is JPY 800. * The large public bathhouses were renewed in May, 2019. Before renewing is the following. In addition, the fee is for the indoor bath only. The outdoor bath may be a chartered bath now.

There is 1 indoor bath at the Outdoor Bathroom. It is the size that about 3 people take a bath. The bathroom is called the outdoor bath, but a scenery can not been seen from the outdoor bath. I think that this is a good bathroom to take a bath with friends while talking.



There are 2 indoor baths at the Large Public Bathhouse. The one is a large indoor bath that about 15 people take a bath, and the other was a small indoor bath that about 4 people take a bath. In addition, there is a small bathroom, too, and the bathrooms for men or women are replaced every day.



Unfortunately, the hot springs are not drinkable, but the hot springs are used for showers. The hot springs are sodium chloride spring, and are clear and colorless and have tasteless and no smell. The sum total of the hot spring ingredients are 3.299 g/kg. The meta-silicic acid has 156.8 mg/kg. It is said that the hot springs including the meta-silicic acid with over 200 mg/kg is effective for beautiful skin, so it might be said that the hot springs is effective for a little beautiful skin. Shampoos and body soaps are provided at the bathhouses. A restroom is installed at dressing rooms.
