Susukino is the number one entertainment district in Sapporo, if not Hokkaido. Whether you are visiting Sapporo for sightseeing or on a business trip, you are sure to enjoy delicious food and drinks in Susukino at night. But did you know that right in the middle of the city, there is a spot where you can enjoy natural hot springs?
"Premier Hotel-CABIN-Sapporo" is a hotel that is gaining a reputation for its authentic hot spring facilities. What's more, the breakfast is said to be delicious. After hearing the rumor, I immediately went to check it out!
Premier Hotel-CABIN-Sapporo is about a 7-minute walk from Susukino Station on the Namboku subway line, so you can enjoy Susukino without worrying about the last train. What's more, it has a full-fledged natural hot spring, which is amazing for soothing your tired body after sightseeing or a business trip. After all, Susukino is one of Japan's leading entertainment districts. What kind of hot spring can you enjoy in such a place?
When you actually visit, you'll be excited by the spacious indoor bath. The spring quality is a chloride hot spring. It is also a ferruginous spring that contains a lot of iron, so you can see that the water is cloudy due to the iron components. When you soak in the water, you can feel the rich components slowly seeping into your skin. If you go into the sauna in the same space, you'll feel even more refreshed.
There is even an open-air bath. When you step outside, you can feel the presence of the neighboring buildings, and you may be surprised to find that you are in Susukino. However, as you feel the breeze blowing through your skin and look up at the sky, you will experience a sense of freedom that makes it hard to believe you are in the city.
For more details about the hot springs, please see our YouTube channel "A warm and relaxing tour of Hokkaido's hot springs."
After relaxing in the natural hot springs and getting a good night's sleep, you can start the next morning off right with a delicious breakfast buffet. There are about 60 different Japanese and Western dishes on the menu, which change daily and monthly. The latest recommended menu items are regularly updated on Facebook, so it might be fun to check before you visit.
Normally, it is open to the general public, but due to the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, it is currently only available to hotel guests (as of September 1, 2021). The popular Katte-don (seafood bowl) is made by topping as much seafood as you like on freshly cooked rice or vinegared rice made with special A-grade Hokkaido rice Yumepirika, but now, you can pick up the finished product.
By the way, the guest rooms look like this (the photo shows a semi-double room). There are seven types of rooms to choose from, suited to both business and leisure. The largest room is a "modern Japanese style" that can accommodate up to four people, so it's great that families can stay here with ease.
