Phantom Red Bath
TypeNatural Hot Spring
This historic famous hot spring is the oldest in the history of Yunokawa Onsen, and is said to have once helped Hijikata Toshizo heal his wounds during the Battle of Goryokaku. Today, very few inns remain where you can fully enjoy this water, which is why it is called the "phantom red bath." It emerges colorless and transparent, but when the iron content reacts with the air, it turns into a beautiful tea-brown color, known as red bath. Its weak salt spring composition warms the body deeply and helps prevent you from getting chilled afterward. From the top-floor observation open-air bath, you can enjoy a historic, romantic bathing experience while gazing out over the Tsugaru Strait and Hakodate's magnificent scenery.
