Jozankei Onsen Stream Carp streamer
400 Koinobori Over the Toyohira River
Hundreds of carp streamers flutter above the hot spring town during the Jozankei Onsen Stream Carp Streamer event. Set against lingering snow and blooming cherry blossoms, these vibrant koinobori bring vivid color to Jozankei's spring scenery.
This annual event has been a beloved spring tradition at Jozankei Onsen, Sapporo's mountain retreat, for more than 40 years. Colorful koinobori (carp streamers) dance above the Toyohira River that flows through the heart of the hot spring town. Swaying in the breeze beneath clear blue skies, they create a stunning display alongside the river's gentle current. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing stroll while listening to the flowing water and admiring the colorful scene overhead.
Donated by families across Hokkaido, the koinobori carry cherished memories from their former homes. They can be seen throughout the area, including Jozankei Shrine and local footbath facilities. As the season progresses, the scenery shifts from snow-capped mountains to blooming cherry blossoms. Hokkaido's late spring offers the rare chance to enjoy koinobori and cherry blossoms together well into May. The season also brings haru-momiji, the delicate hues of newly emerged leaves. Relax in Jozankei's soothing hot springs and experience the harmony of nature and local tradition.
