Hokkaido Kutchan Town
A soothing space of natural onsen water and sauna, looking out on Niseko’s majestic Mount Yotei
Yukoro Onsen is a day-use onsen bathhouse in the Niseko Hirafu area of Kutchan, Hokkaido. It offers a refined space where modern architecture and nature are in harmony. The main bathhouse has a dry sauna wrapped in the warmth of natural wood, where you can experience deep relaxation that brings body and mind into balance. After the sauna, a cold plunge made of natural stone gently pulls the flushed body taut. The reddish, amber natural onsen water is rich in compounds that moisturize the skin, and alongside the grand seasonal scenery it offers healing to the core.

A natural onsen of sodium bicarbonate and chloride spring water, beautiful in its reddish hue. It is rich in dissolved compounds that smooth the skin, and after bathing the skin feels soft and moist. From the open-air bath on the second-floor deck, you can look straight out at the majestic form of Mount Yotei, its face changing with the seasons.

The dry sauna, finished in premium natural wood, offers a soft heat that is gentle on the skin. Wrapped in the orange glow of indirect lighting, as you sweat slowly in the silence, you feel the fatigue of daily life begin to melt away. The flushed body then cools down gently in the cold plunge, set in one corner of the natural-stone indoor bath.
