Hokkaido Kushiro City
Every room with its own open-air onsen bath: a serene hideaway for adults, embraced by the nature of Akan
Akan Tsuruga Besso Hinanoza is an onsen inn at Akanko Onsen in Kushiro, Hokkaido, where every room has its own open-air onsen bath. Every room is a suite, promising a serene private space where only adults, from junior-high age up, may stay. Inside are main bathhouses of differing character, from bluish-white cloudy water looking out over Lake Akan to a bath of cut stone that is gentle on the skin, where you can savor the soft natural onsen water to your heart’s content. The main bathhouse also has a warm-stone room, and there is plenty more for deep relaxation, including spa treatments with rare Japanese essential oils. Away from the bustle of daily life, you can spend blissful hours at one with the nature of Akan.

A main bathhouse of cut stone where you can savor natural onsen water with a smooth, gentle feel on the skin, fed straight from the source, never recirculated. The bath, neither too large nor too small, brings calm, quiet time. Give your body over to the silky water and let it warm you to the core.

An open main bathhouse with a sweeping view of beautiful Lake Akan below. Light falling through the trees catches the bluish-white cloudy water, which glitters in a dreamlike scene. Natural onsen water fed straight from the source, never recirculated, pours into the indoor bath, while in the open-air bath you can fully enjoy a pleasant soak in the fresh air of Akan.

A private open-air onsen bath in every room, each with its own character. In a space where no one will disturb you, you can soak as often as you like, whenever you like, with the fresh scent of the lake and the beautiful nature of Akan all to yourself. These luxurious hours wrapped in stillness are an experience found only at this inn.

A quiet warm-stone room attached to the main bathhouse. As you lie on the warm stones, the far-infrared effect warms you gently from the core, and you break into a pleasant sweat. Used together with a soak in the natural onsen, it is a soothing space that brings a further detox effect and deep relaxation.
