[3 days/2 nights] Wakkanai Hot Spring is the northernmost hot spring in Japan. You can bathe while viewing Rishiri Fuji. Afterwards, we recommend Abundance Hot Spring, which was gushed out by oil drilling. Many people go there because it is believed to be effective for skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis. It is fun to enjoy one hot spring at a time instead of visiting many different hot springs.

Toyotomi Hot Spring [Accommodation]
Toyotomi Hot Spring is said to be gentle on the skin due to its oil content, and its hot spring ingredients easily penetrate the body. The oil content, which is the most important feature of abundant hot spring water, is said to be highly effective in retaining heat and moisture. For dry habits and atopic dermatitis, the tar contained in the oil has an anti-inflammatory effect.
