Sounkyo Hot Spring
A Hot Spring Retreat Surrounded by Majestic Canyon Views
Nestled within the vast Daisetsuzan National Park, Sounkyo Hot Spring is the largest hot spring resort in Northern Hokkaido, attracting about 2 million visitors annually. The area features a charming atmosphere reminiscent of Canadian mountain resorts, with hotels and guesthouses lining the streets.
What makes Sounkyo truly special is its breathtaking scenery that changes with the seasons. In spring, colorful flowers bloom across the valley; summer brings lush greenery; autumn paints the cliffs in vibrant reds and golds; and winter transforms waterfalls into stunning ice formations. This harmony of nature and soothing hot springs offers an unforgettable experience for every traveler.
Sounkyo also serves as a perfect base for exploring nearby attractions, such as the Kurodake Ropeway for panoramic views and the famous Asahiyama Zoo.
