A historic sulfur-spring inn founded in 1883, wrapped in the warmth of HARVIA double stoves and the scent of hinoki cypress

Hokkaido Sapporo City

"Koganeyu Onsen Yumoto Koganeyu" is a long-established hot spring inn in Sapporo, Hokkaido, founded in 1883. Its historic bathwater, watched over by a katsura tree estimated to be about 750 years old, is a mildly alkaline simple sulfur spring with a faint sulfur aroma, and it has long been loved as a beauty bath. The large bath area is well equipped with distinctive facilities, including a sauna with two luxurious HARVIA double stoves, an auto löyly sauna scented richly with hinoki cypress, and a mist sauna that generates negative ions. Guests can enjoy "Koganebokko"—basking in the shallow open-air bath while looking up at the mountains—for a restorative, mind-soothing hot spring experience.

A cold plunge bath in the large bath area using Koganeyu's crystal-clear underground water. It pleasantly and evenly envelops and tightens the body after it has been thoroughly warmed by the sauna or the beauty bath's simple sulfur spring. The water has a mellow quality, with a sharp coolness that still blends smoothly with the skin, bringing a refreshing sense of clarity. Another highlight is the smooth flow into the open-air bath for a pleasant outdoor air bath, known as Koganebokko.
