Hokkaido Asahikawa City
A city-center hotel for making the most of Asahikawa. Relax with the warmth of birch and an authentic sauna
"OMO7 Asahikawa by Hoshino Resorts" is a city-center hotel for experiencing Asahikawa in depth. It is packed with content that lets you discover the city’s charms, including concept rooms inspired by Asahiyama Zoo and tours led by neighborhood guides called "OMO Rangers." The guest-only bath facility, Sauna Plateau, features an authentic dry sauna with auto löyly and self-löyly, as well as a mist sauna. Enjoy an exceptional refreshment time in a space scented with vihta, with a cold plunge bath using Asahikawa’s pristine underground water.

The high-temperature sauna is equipped with auto löyly and self-löyly. Thanks to the excellent balance of temperature and humidity, it delivers heat deep into the body while keeping the feeling of breathlessness to a minimum. Since the men's and women's baths are swapped in the morning and evening, you can enjoy two kinds of löyly during a one-night stay. The mist sauna is a space enveloped in thick, warm fog so dense that you cannot see ahead. Cool water flowing around the feet and seating creates a warm head and a refreshingly cool feeling at the feet, allowing you to relax and sweat while slowly feeling the moisture return.

A cold plunge bath that lavishly uses Asahikawa’s pristine underground water. Natural water is circulated continuously without a chiller, so the water temperature changes with the seasons. Its smooth, skin-adhering texture is a distinctive feature, and the gentle bubbles feel as pleasant as a jacuzzi, cooling the whole body softly yet efficiently.

Most of what we surveyed never even made it onto this site. This book is a further cut from what did. Our editor bathed in every onsen and sauna in it, and wrote only what they confirmed on the ground.
