Hot Spring & Bath Information

Yunokawa Onsen

TypeNatural Hot Spring

The natural hot spring of Yunokawa, enjoyed in the sky-high public bath "Unkai" on the top floor and the sky-high open-air bath "Isaribi." The spring quality is neutral, isotonic sodium-calcium chloride spring, and it is well known for being gentle on the skin and warming the body thoroughly. Because its salt content helps prevent sweat from evaporating, it has excellent heat-retaining effects and is especially good for cuts, sensitivity to cold, and recovery from fatigue. At night, you can soak in superb views of Hakodate's night scenery and the fantastical squid-fishing bonfires drifting on the sea, known as isaribi.

A cute single-person tsubo cold plunge bath, placed right near the observatory sauna in the public bath area and made in a style reminiscent of Shigaraki ware. It serves as your own private space, letting you quietly cool down after thoroughly warming up in the sauna. The water temperature is set to be mild, so you can immerse yourself slowly. If you then sit down on one of the rest chairs in the observatory area, you can enjoy the pleasant breeze 30 meters above ground and reach a state of perfect relaxation.
