Oketo Katsuyama Onsen

Oketo Katsuyama Onsen (置戸勝山温泉) is a hot spring place in Oketo town located in the southwestern part of Kitami city. Oketo Katsuyama Onsen Yuu-Yu (置戸勝山温泉ゆぅゆ) surrounded by fields is built along Hokkaido Road 1050. The distance is around 10 km away from the center of the Oketo, and restraunts, cafes, cafes, souvenir shops and convenience stores are not built. Oketo Park Golf Course (置戸パークゴルフ場), Kanoko Dam (鹿ノ子ダム), Yamano Aquarium (山の水族館), Oketo Craft Center (オケクラフトセンター) and Kanokozawa (鹿の子沢) are relatively near here. Speaking of the Oketo, Ningen Bamba Tournament (人間ばん馬大会) is famous, and is held in late June. * The ningen means "human" in English, and the bamba means "horses pull heavy sleighs loaded with a jockey and weights" in English.

A parking lot is free of charge. Article is here

List of Day Trip Onsen

Visitors can take a day trip bath at the Oketo Katsuyama Onsen Yuu-Yu. On the other hand, an accommodation without taking a day trip bath is a cottage.

Oketo Katsuyama Onsen Yuu-Yu

Oketo Katsuyama Onsen Yuu-Yu is a hot spring facility for day trip onsen founded in 1994. A monument of Gyrfalcon desiged by Mr. Roberto Julio Bessin catches one's eyes. An entrance fee to a bath facility is JPY 500. A restraunt and a cafe are at the building, too. Tourists can stay at cottages near the building, and a private hot spring bath is provided at the cottage. Everybody can enjoy the private hot spring together with family or friends. It has reopened a business since 1 April 2017 again. This is an article before renewing.

There are 1 outdoor bath, 1 outdoor pot bath, 1 indoor bath, 1 whirlpool bath, 1 cascading bath, 1 cold bath and 1 sauna at a large public bathhouse. The sunny tiled bathhouse with a lot of windows is feeling good. The bathhouses for men or women are sometimes replaced. The large indoor bath is the size that about 15 people can take a bath, and uses 100% natural free flowing hot springs. The whirlpool bath is the size that about 4 people can take a bath, and the cascading bath seats 1 person.

The outdoor bath made of rocks is the size that about 8 people can take a bath, and the outdoor seats 1 person, and both baths use 100% free flowing hot springs. Bathers can enjoy overflowing hot springs from the outdoor pot bath, and it is very comfortable and very luxurious time. In addition, a roof is provided, but a sense of openness can be felt because of a deep view in front of the bather's eyes.

The hot springs are sodium chloride sulfate spring, and are clear and colorless and have a little metallic taste and no smell. The sum total of the hot spring ingredients are 1.840 g/kg. The solid material dance in the hot springs. Shampoos and body soaps are provided at the bathhouse. A restroom and free hair dryers are installed at a dressing room. A drink made from vegetables named Yacon is sold at a resting place. It had a strange gourd taste. It is going to be closed on March 31, 2015. I think that is a real shame.
