Lake Shikaribetsu Kotan Open-air Hot Spring Bath on Ice
A Moment of Soaking in an Open-Air Bath in a Fantastical World of Silvery White
From late January to early March, the "Lake Shikaribetsu Kotan," a phantom village built on the frozen lake, appears. An unmissable spot in this Kotan is the "Ice Open-Air Bath," an onsen experience right on the lake. Soaking in the open-air bath while overlooking a completely white world of snow and ice is truly unique to this place. The temperature difference between the hot spring and the outside air can be over 60°C, a tub created on the frozen surface of Lake Shikaribetsu only during the coldest period. Why not take your time to warm up in the brownish water? Bathing while gazing at the stunning scenery is exceptional. There's also a foot bath available, allowing you to easily experience the ice open-air bath.
