Naganuma Town is an hour's drive from Sapporo city and only 30 minutes from New Chitose Airport. Naganuma Onsen is a place where you can enjoy the high-quality natural hot springs that Naganuma Town is proud of. It is such a large and famous hot spring inn that a JR bus stop is located right in front of the entrance. With high expectations, let's go and visit right away.

In addition to the large and small baths, there is also a jacuzzi and a cold water bath for the sauna. You'll want to try all of the baths, but let's start by introducing the open-air bath.

It was snowing that day, creating a very picturesque scene. And the outdoor bath was spacious!

Naganuma Onsen, where the spring water flows directly from the source, has a relatively high temperature of 51°C. With so much snow falling, the temperature feels just right for a long bath.

The spring quality is iodine-sodium-chloride strong salt hot spring. Because it is high in salt and warms the body from the inside, it is commonly called "hot water". The indoor bath has a high temperature bathtub and a low temperature bathtub, so you can choose the temperature you like.

Another amazing thing about Naganuma Onsen is the amount of water it produces. It's a whopping 1,150 liters per minute, which is one of the best in Hokkaido, a hot spring powerhouse! It's truly a blessing from nature.

Time will fly by as you enjoy the high-quality spring water. There is also a spacious rest area, so you can relax and enjoy even on a day trip.

Naganuma Onsen is a wonderful place with great spring quality and facilities. I heard that the food is also delicious, so it might be a waste to just come for a day trip! It's a great place for a short weekend getaway, not just for people from outside Hokkaido, but also for those who live nearby. *If you would like to know more about the atmosphere of Naganuma Onsen, please check out our YouTube channel "A Relaxing Tour of Hokkaido's Hot Springs"!
