Savor the Blessings of Forests and Earth \u2014
Jozankei Onsen, a Natural Hot Spring of Exceptional Quality<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The natural hot springs that flow through the town of Jozankei are sodium chloride springs
(neutral, low-tonic, high-temperature hot springs) known for their clear water and mild, salty taste \u2014
one of the most common and beloved spring types in Japan. When you bathe in it, the minerals adhere to your skin,
preventing the evaporation of sweat and warming your body from deep within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jozankei has 56 hot spring sources, most of which are concentrated near Tsukimi Bridge and Takayama Bridge
along the Toyohira River that flows through the town. Hot water naturally gushes from cracks in the riverbanks
and riverbed rock formations, creating an abundant geothermal flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The output is truly exceptional \u2014 8,600 liters per minute, with a high spring temperature of 60 to 80\u00b0C \u2014
a source of great pride for both its volume and quality.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nature’s breathtaking beauty
created by extreme winter temperatures<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In winter, the hot spring town transforms into a breathtaking scene,
as snow gently blankets the trees and creates a landscape as beautiful as ink wash paintings.
Around December, the first snowfall arrives, and after repeating cycles of melting and falling,
it settles as permanent snow toward late December \u2014 allowing visitors to enjoy a snowy world
until late February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only during this pure white season can you experience unforgettable activities and events,
as well as outdoor hot springs overlooking the snow.
It is a truly luxurious moment unique to winter, both serene and extraordinary.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Gorge Painted in Gold
How to Enjoy Autumn in Jozankei<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The stunning brilliance of Jozankei\u2019s autumn leaves is said to be the result of dramatic temperature
differences unique to the valley formed by the Toyohira River and the surrounding mountains.
With mountains on all sides, visitors can enjoy vividly colored foliage from every scene \u2014
along walking trails, throughout the hot spring town, from guest rooms, and even from open-air baths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October, the peak autumn season, offers many ways to explore the beauty:
take a sightseeing bus to the most popular foliage spots,
or enjoy a leisurely walk to discover breathtaking views that no one has ever seen before.
Walking through the rich national forest and the mountain gorge while surrounded by fiery colors
is an unforgettable luxury that can only be experienced in autumn.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Jozankei Onsen \u2014 A Hot Spring Resort within a National Park, yet in the City of Sapporo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Located within Shikotsu-Toya National Park, Jozankei Onsen is a renowned hot spring resort
just about 26 km south of central Sapporo \u2014 roughly an hour by car. The national park is known
for dramatic volcanic landscapes shaped by active geothermal forces, including the two major
caldera lakes Lake Shikotsu and Lake Toya, striking mountains such as Mt. Tarumae, Mt. Yotei,
and Mt. Usu, numerous hot spring sites, and areas emitting volcanic gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jozankei area lies along the Toyohira River gorge and is surrounded by mountains formed by volcanic activity,
including Mt. Muine, Mt. Soradake, and Mt. Sapporo. Alpine plants thrive in these mountains,
offering a rich natural environment. While the landscape is carefully preserved, it also serves
as a place where many visitors can experience and appreciate its beauty up close.
Jozankei Onsen proudly stands as one of Hokkaido\u2019s most iconic hot spring destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
