Marukoma Hot Spring
A Century of Serenity by the Pristine Shores of Lake Shikotsu
Experience a rare, historic lakeside retreat where a natural open-air bath seems to merge seamlessly with the crystal-clear waters of Lake Shikotsu.
Established in 1915 on the tranquil northern shore of Lake Shikotsu, Marukoma Hot Spring is a historic inn with over a century of heritage. The spring water, which legend says once healed the wounds of horses carrying sulfur, still flows naturally from the source today.
The inn's most captivating feature is its unique natural open-air bath, where the water depth fluctuates in harmony with the lake's level—a rare phenomenon in Japan. Here, you can feel an extraordinary sense of freedom, as if soaking directly within the vast, shimmering landscape of the lake itself.
The facility also offers spacious indoor baths, scenic open-air baths with panoramic views, and private reservable baths, with day-use options available for travelers. The surrounding area is a treasure trove of natural beauty, including Lake Shikotsu—one of Japan’s clearest lakes—the color-shifting waters of Lake Okotanpe, Bifue Falls, Moss Corridor, Mt. Eniwa, and Mt. Tarumae. Surrounded by the gentle whispers of the lakeshore and the earth's natural warmth, Marukoma Hot Spring invites you to a timeless moment of deep restoration.
