Yoroushi Hot Spring

Blakiston's fish owls, forest streams, and free-flowing hot springs

A secluded riverside inn at the foot of Mt. Shibetsu. Enjoy 100% natural hot spring water surrounded by unspoiled nature and abundant wildlife.


Nestled at the southern foot of Mt. Shibetsu in Nakashibetsu, Yoroushi Hot Spring is a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush woodland and the clear waters of the Shibetsu River. Believed to have been enjoyed by the Ainu people for more than 400 years, this historic destination offers a rare opportunity to unwind in one of eastern Hokkaido's most tranquil settings. The secluded inn offers a quiet escape with the sounds of rustling trees and flowing water.


Large windows offer views of the surrounding nature, where wildlife can sometimes be spotted along the riverbank. Guests may enjoy watching wild birds and, if lucky, catch sight of rare species such as the Ezo sable or Blakiston's fish owl. Often regarded as the guardian of the forest, the fish owl is one of eastern Hokkaido's treasured symbols of nature.


The baths are filled with 100% natural hot spring water flowing directly from the source. Enjoy a spacious indoor bath with the warm scent of wood and a rock-lined open-air bath beside the rushing stream. Day-use bathing is also available, making it an ideal stop during a scenic drive through eastern Hokkaido. Surrounded by the sounds of the forest and river, relax and let the soothing waters restore your body and mind.
