Hoheikyo Hot Spring

Hokkaido Hot Springs and Hearty Flavors

Nestled in the mountains just outside Sapporo, Hoheikyo Hot Spring is a beloved retreat where nature and relaxation come together.


It is one of the few places in Japan offering gensen kakenagashi—100% natural hot spring water flowing directly from the source without added heat or water. Its enormous open-air bath, among the largest in Japan, can accommodate up to 200 bathers. In winter, the baths transform into a magical yukimi-buro (snow-viewing bath). Steam drifts into the crisp air as guests soak in mineral-rich waters surrounded by snow-covered forests. At night, soft illumination creates a peaceful atmosphere unique to Hokkaido.


Hoheikyo is also famous for its authentic Indian curry. Slow-cooked with dozens of spices and onions, the rich curry pairs perfectly with oversized naan baked fresh in a traditional tandoor oven. The fragrant flavors and gentle spice make it a favorite after a relaxing soak. From late January to March, visitors can also enjoy Jingisukan (grilled lamb) inside a giant kamakura snow dome. Combining steaming hot springs, flavorful cuisine, and unforgettable winter scenery, Hoheikyo Hot Spring offers a truly memorable Hokkaido experience.
