Hot water heated by firewood is warm and inviting! Chitose "Shukubai Onsen" is a fan favorite.
There are certain types of hot springs that are favored not only by locals but also by core hot spring fans throughout Japan. Shukubai Onsen" in Chitose City is one of them. The best part is that there is such a wonderful hot spring in such a place! The best thing about Shukubai Onsen is that it has such a wonderful hot spring in such a place. Let's take a peek.
There are no tourist attractions around, just a building standing alone in a vast expanse of nature. That is the facility of Shukubai Hot Springs. It is amazing that people come all the way from all over Japan to visit this place.
When you visit Shubai Hot Springs, the most noticeable landmark is a huge bowling pin. If you look closely, you will see "Shubai Onsen" written in large letters, which seems to be a signboard. After entering the address into your car navigation system, all you have to do is drive around looking for the pin lying on the side of the road.
The facility does not have an open-air bath, but only one indoor bath. Even so, the windows are large, so you can relax and enjoy the open feeling. The water looks dark oolong brown in color, and when you enter the bath, it seems to melt into your skin.
The spring is a sodium-bicarbonate spring, formerly known as a "sodium bicarbonate spring. It is said to soften the surface of the skin and is good for skin diseases, burns, and cuts. In addition, the presence of chlorides in the spring water makes it highly effective for moisturizing. Moisturizing cream may not be necessary after bathing.
Incidentally, the temperature of the spring is low at about 21°C, so the water is heated with firewood. Therefore, the temperature at the time of opening is the highest, and the area where you soak in the hot water soon turns red. If you like it lukewarm, we recommend going later in the day.
You can smell the smoke as you approach the building, perhaps because of the wood burning. It's an exciting feeling that you can't easily experience at other facilities, and this may be the point that attracts core onsen fans.
However, the atmosphere, including the rest area, is very homey. It has a nostalgic feel as if you are returning home to your parents' house, and is sure to make anyone feel relaxed and at home.
When you visit Chitose, please look for the giant pin and stop by.
