[Jozankei Onsen in Sapporo] Day Trip Bath and Fall Foliage Can Be Enjoyed

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.
