Wakoto Hot Spring
A Hot Spring Experience on the Majestic Land Overlooking Lake Kussharo
Located on the Wakoto Peninsula, which juts out from the southern shore of Lake Kussharo, Wakoto Hot Spring offers a truly unique hot spring experience. The name “Wakoto” is said to come from the Ainu word “Oyakots,” meaning “where the tail touches the land.” Near Oyakots Jigoku, at the tip of Wakoto Peninsula, hot water close to 100 degrees still gushes out even today.
The hot spring inn nestled in the forest boasts a rustic open-air bath surrounded by nature. Day-use bathing is available, making it easy for visitors to enjoy. Nearby, there are also free, mixed-gender outdoor hot springs open 24 hours, which are popular with locals. In addition, communal baths and wild hot springs can be found scattered throughout the area.
Wakoto Peninsula attracts many tourists who come for camping and water sports. Why not unwind in a hot spring while enjoying the great outdoors on this tranquil land embraced by broad-leaved trees?
