Jozankei Hot Spring
Soothing Thermal Waters in Sapporo’s Scenic Valley
Surrounded by the natural beauty of Shikotsu-Toya National Park, Jozankei Hot Spring is one of Hokkaido's leading hot spring destinations, where mineral-rich waters and seasonal scenery meet.
With more than 150 years of history, Jozankei stretches along the Toyohira River, lined with traditional ryokan inns and modern hotels. The area is fed by 56 hot spring sources, producing approximately 8,600 liters of thermal water every minute. The clear sodium chloride waters gently warm the body and provide lasting comfort.
Each season brings a different beauty to the valley. Autumn is especially stunning, as brilliant red and golden foliage transforms the gorge. The iconic Futami Suspension Bridge offers one of Jozankei's finest views, accompanied by the soothing sounds of the river and birdsong.
Outdoor activities can be enjoyed year-round. From spring to autumn, visitors can enjoy hiking and river rafting, while winter brings excellent powder snow to nearby ski resorts. Free foot baths throughout the town offer a relaxing stop during a stroll.
Combined with Hokkaido's seasonal cuisine, Jozankei offers a refreshing retreat where nature and hot spring culture restore both body and mind.
