Hokkaido Official Tourism Site HOKKAIDO LOVE!

Experience a historic mountain retreat at the foot of Mt. Asahidake, Hokkaido’s highest peak. Famous for its "beauty-enhancing" waters and seasonal splendor, this serene destination offers the perfect blend of relaxation and alpine adventure.

Located at the base of the majestic Daisetsuzan Mountains, Asahidake Hot Spring has been a cherished retreat since the early 1900s. Originally known as Yukomambetsu, this area is celebrated for its crystal-clear waters, naturally enriched with metasilicic acid—a mineral renowned for its moisturizing properties.

After a day of hiking or skiing, there is nothing quite like sinking into a warm bath. The gentle texture of the water clings to your skin, while the faint, earthy scent of the volcanic landscape envelops you, melting away the fatigue of your journey.

The village is home to a charming mix of sophisticated resort hotels and cozy wooden lodges. As night falls, the tranquil atmosphere is punctuated only by the soothing murmur of nearby streams and the soft whispers of the forest, inviting you to reconnect with the natural world.

For a breathtaking perspective, take the Asahidake Ropeway for an aerial stroll above the clouds. Each season paints a new masterpiece: delicate alpine flowers blanket the slopes in early summer, while autumn brings a fiery tapestry of red and gold. In the stillness of winter, you may witness the mystical "sun pillar" shimmering in the freezing air, or feel the crisp touch of world-class powder snow. Keep a quiet watch, and you might even spot the adorable Ezo pika, whose high-pitched whistle echoes through the rocky terrain.
