Yunokawa Hot Spring

A Historic Hot Spring in Hakodate That Once Healed the Illness of a Matsumae Lord

Yunokawa Hot Spring, one of the three major hot spring resorts in Hokkaido, is a long-established hot spring in Hakodate with a rich history. According to legend, a feudal lord of the Matsumae Clan was once cured of a serious illness after bathing in these therapeutic waters.

Yunokawa Hot Spring is conveniently located about 10 minutes by car from Hakodate Airport and offers excellent access from downtown Hakodate, making it an ideal base for sightseeing in the city. The hot spring town is lined with many ryokan and hotels where you can savor fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients from Hokkaido. The open-air baths with breathtaking views of the Tsugaru Strait are especially popular.

From June to December, the sight of squid fishing boats illuminated by beautiful fishing lights creates a magical scene over the night sea—a unique memory to take home from your trip. The free foot baths in the hot spring district are popular spots where both locals and tourists can relax together. They are perfect for a short break during your sightseeing.

Why not spend a heartwarming and relaxing time at Yunokawa Hot Spring, where both your body and soul can truly unwind?
