An inn with its own natural hot spring and an authentic Nordic sauna, nestled in the forest of Yobito with the romance of Okhotsk culture

Hokkaido Abashiri City

"Hokutennooka Abashiriko Tsuruga Resort" is a unique resort hotel in Yobito, Abashiri, Hokkaido, themed around the romance of the ancient Okhotsk culture. In the large bath, "Hokuten Zabo no Yu," surrounded by the lush Yobito forest, you can enjoy a natural weakly alkaline spring that is gentle on the skin. The large bath area is equipped with a serene sauna, a cold water bath, and free bedrock bathing. In addition, there is a sauna building on the grounds modeled after a traditional dwelling of the northern peoples, where you can enjoy an authentic Finnish sauna with auto löyly, a cold water bath that blends into nature, and outdoor air baths under a sky full of stars—an indulgent totonou experience you won't find anywhere else.
