About Bathing

Does the hot spring flow directly from the source?
The hotel's hot spring flows directly from the source. However, since the original temperature is 70℃, water is added.
Is the large public bath area open 24 hours?
Bathing hours are from 13:00 to 03:00 and from 04:00 to 10:00. You are able to enjoy both bath areas as the men's and women's are swapped in the early morning.
Do you offer one-day hot spring bathing (for people who do not stay overnight)?
Unfortunately, only one-day bathing is not available.
The public baths are only available to guests who have booked a stay or day trip plan.
Is there a sauna?
Yes, we offer a "streaming bath" using the original source spring water at a 75℃ temperature to steam. Sweat comes out of the skin easily, so it is recommended for those who have a low tolerance to high-temp saunas. This new bathing method allows you to breathe steam from the natural hot spring, and it is effective for asthma and rhinitis.
I am concerned about Legionella bacteria.
The hotel adds a prescribed amount of medicine to the bathing holes under the guidance of Sapporo City Public Health Center. Please be assured that the bath water is inspected regularly for its safety.

We are sorry, but you cannot enter the baths using a wheelchair. There are steps between the public bath area entrance and bathing facilities, so you will need someone to accompany and assist you.
