Mizunashi Kaihin Hot Spring
A mystical seaside hot spring revealed only at low tide
Enjoy a unique open-air hot spring on the shores of Cape Esan. Hidden beneath the sea at high tide and revealed only when the tide goes out, Mizunashi Kaihin Hot Spring is known as the "phantom hot spring."
Located at the eastern tip of Hakodate, this remarkable seaside hot spring lies in an inlet at the foot of active Mt. Esan. The bath is submerged at high tide and reappears only as the tide recedes, making each visit dependent on the rhythm of the ocean. Before visiting, be sure to check the official Hakodate Todohokke Branch website for the day's bathing hours.
Hot spring water rises naturally from between the rocks beneath the bath, mixing with cool seawater to create a comfortable bathing temperature. Soak while gazing over the Pacific, accompanied by the sound of crashing waves and dramatic coastal scenery. On-site facilities include a parking area, a changing hut, and public toilets. Swimsuits are recommended, as the bath is mixed-gender. Enjoy an unforgettable hot spring experience found only in Hokkaido.
