About Aono Bi Yuyu
"Aono Bi Yuyu" is a hot spring inn located in Shirogane Onsen in Biei, Hokkaido. Nestled along a valley amid majestic nature, it offers the ultimate bathing experience while soothing views of the four seasons and the sound of Shirahige Falls. The natural hot spring is fed directly from the source with no dilution, heating, or recirculation, and is known as a famous spring rich in ingredients that are said to promote beautiful skin. The public bath is equipped with a dry sauna that lets you work up a good sweat in pleasant heat, as well as a cold plunge bath to cool down after heating up, allowing you to refresh both body and mind in the silence of nature.
