Shikotsukoonsen

About

Nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of Shikotsu-Toya National Park, Shikotsukoonsen’s allure lies in its pristine and little-developed surroundings. Lake Shikotsuko and the nearby Lake Toyako, both born from ancient volcanic activity, set the stage for an enchanting journey into Hokkaido's pristine beauty. Here, high-class ryokans, restaurants, and souvenir stores line the lakefront, creating a harmonious blend of luxury and nature. Dominating the horizon is Mount Tarumae, a majestic yet active volcano offering a thrilling ascent. At the northern shores of the lake, Marukoma Onsen stands as a haven of relaxation. This ryokan's unique hot spring baths, open to all, are situated along the lake shore, allowing an exchange between the pools' warm waters and the cool lake. With gender-segregated conventional hot spring pools, Marukoma Onsen offers a rejuvenating experience amid the natural splendor.
