About this experience
Japan is famous for its hot springs, which are a pleasure to experience. Hoheikyo Onsen is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, as it offers a chance to soak in hot springs while admiring the snow-covered landscape. Hoheikyo Onsen is a sodium calcium bicarbonate chloride natural hot spring. It is a 100% natural hot spring that comes directly from the source. It is also called "beautiful skin water" because it leaves the skin smooth, fresh, and moisturized. As it is located a bit far from Sapporo city, it can be difficult to get to, but this plan includes a private taxi pick-up that will save you from driving on snow-covered roads. You can spend a relaxing two hours at the onsen, where you can enjoy not only the soothing water but also local specialities such as curry and soba noodles.
