Naganuma is an hour's drive from Sapporo City and only 30 minutes from New Chitose Airport. Naganuma Onsen is the place to enjoy the high quality natural hot spring Naganuma-cho is proud of. The entrance to this large and famous hot spring resort is a stop for JR buses. Let's visit Naganuma Onsen with high expectations.

In addition to large and small bathtubs, there is a Jacuzzi and a water bath for sauna. It is tempting to try all the bathtubs, but let us start with the open-air baths.

It was snowing that day, and the scenery was quite picturesque. And the bathtub in the open-air bath is spacious!

Naganuma Onsen, which is free-flowing hot spring water, has a high source temperature of 51°C (51°F). With so much snow, it feels just the right temperature, just enough to take a long bath.

The spring water is a strong salt-containing sodium chloride hot spring. It is also commonly called "hot water of heat" because of its high salt content and the fact that it warms the body from the core. The indoor baths are available in high and low temperature tubs, and it is nice to be able to choose the temperature you prefer.

What is even more impressive about Naganuma Onsen is the amount of water that flows out of the hot spring. It is one of the highest in Hokkaido, which is a hot spring country! It is truly a blessing of nature.

Time flies by as you enjoy the high quality of the springs. The rest area is also spacious, so you can enjoy a relaxing day trip.

Naganuma Onsen is a very nice hot spring, both in terms of the quality of the spring water and the facilities. The food is also delicious, so a day trip alone may be a waste of time!

This is a great weekend getaway for those who live outside of Hokkaido, as well as those who live in the suburbs of Hokkaido.
