Shiraoi & Kojohama Hot Springs
Pacific Coast Hot Springs and Rare Moor Waters
One of Hokkaido's richest hot spring regions with over 130 natural sources. Enjoy diverse mineral waters and rare moor springs along the Pacific coast.
Shiraoi is a leading hot spring area, where natural thermal water is deeply woven into daily life—piped not only into hotels and public baths but also directly into many local homes.
The Kojohama and Takeura districts overlook the ocean and are celebrated for fresh, free-flowing thermal waters. Following the area's "Natural Flowing Hot Spring Declaration" in 2011, facilities offer pure water straight from the source. Four distinct spring types, including sodium chloride, offer a rich variety of bathing experiences.
The Shiraoi district features rare moor hot springs, recognized as a Hokkaido Heritage site. These amber waters pass through ancient plant deposits, enriching them with organic compounds that create a remarkably smooth, gentle feel on the skin.
Relaxing to ocean breezes and rolling waves creates a memorable coastal retreat. From seaside baths to unique moor waters, this destination perfectly showcases Hokkaido’s rich geothermal heritage.
