About Hotel Banso Hakodate Yunokawa Onsen
Hotel Banso Hakodate Yunokawa Onsen is a modern onsen hotel in Hakodate, Hokkaido. Its large public bath, Yuzugura, is designed around the concept of a hot spring living room, where you can fully enjoy the famous waters of Yunokawa in a wide variety of baths, including an open-air bath, tsuboyu, and lying bath. The sauna facilities include three types: a dry bona sauna that wraps you in gentle heat, a mist sauna with a pleasant aroma, and a steam room. After bathing, you can spend a luxurious, relaxing time in Yuzugura Lounge, where the scent of tatami and wood fills the air. A buffet featuring the bounty of Hokkaido’s seas and land, along with a retro-modern space full of exotic charm, are also part of its appeal.
