Hoheikyo Hot Spring
Nature-Framed Grand Bath and Memorable Local Flavors
Nestled in the quiet hills outside Sapporo, Hoheikyo Hot Spring is a long-loved retreat famous for its abundant natural water and one of Japan’s largest open-air baths. Fed entirely by free-flowing spring sources, the pools offer pure, mineral-rich soaking amid fresh mountain air.
In winter, the baths become a magical yukimi-buro—a snow-viewing onsen where steam rises through falling snow and the landscape glows softly at night. The calm, silver-lit scenery captures the spirit of Hokkaido.
Hoheikyo is also renowned for its unexpectedly excellent food. The restaurant’s signature Indian curry blends dozens of spices and comes with naan baked in a traditional tandoor oven—a warming favorite among visitors.
Mid-winter brings a unique treat: enjoying Hokkaido’s famous Jingisukan (grilled lamb) inside a kamakura-style snow dome. This cozy igloo-like space, among the largest in Japan, offers a memorable seasonal dining experience available only for a limited time with reservation.
The vast outdoor bath—large enough for 200 bathers—merges beautifully with the surrounding landscape. Each season brings a distinct ambiance, from fresh spring greens to brilliant autumn colors and serene winter snow.
