A popular hot spring destination in Hokkaido, with approximately 1.2 million overnight visitors annually. One of its attractions is its easy accessibility, located just under an hour's drive south from central Sapporo. The water quality is a sodium chloride spring, which warms the body to the core. There are 56 sources, from which 8,600 liters of hot water at 60-80°C gush out every minute.

Its history is old, dating back to 1866 (the 2nd year of the Keio era) when the ascetic monk Miizumi Jozan built a therapeutic bathhouse. Jozankei is also famous as a scenic spot. You can encounter beautiful scenery in every season, from the 'Futami Suspension Bridge' with its views of the valley's beauty, to the 'Maizuru-no-Toro' activity area popular for canoeing and SUP, and the beautiful 'Sapporo Lake'. Escape the hustle and bustle, take a leisurely walk in nature, and enjoy a full hot spring experience. The 'Kappa Liner' shuttle bus runs 13 times a day from Sapporo Station, Odori, and Susukino (reservations required).

From the bright red Futami Suspension Bridge that crosses the Toyohira River flowing through the hot spring town, you can overlook Futami Iwa (Futami Rock) and Kappa-ga-fuchi (Kappa's Abyss). The valley, colored like brocade in autumn, is a sight you must see at least once.
