We are currently closed for a long period of time due to renovation work, but the official website is no longer available. Has your domain expired? I'm a little worried about the number of good hot springs that are disappearing these days. I wonder if Ken, the hot spring dog who has become very old, is doing well. Anyway, I firmly believe and wait for the reopening!A secret hot spring within a secret hot spring located at the end of an unpaved forest road. The thick water with a rare strong alkaline sulfur smell is the best. Since it is boiling water, it will be difficult to maintain, but I hope you will do your best.The food here is also really great. It was a great decision to choose the meal upgrade plan. I will definitely come again. See you again, Osoushiken-kun.

*This information is up to the end of October 2022*Closed for a long period of time due to renovation from November 2022. We are looking forward to reopening.==========One of the most strongly alkaline simple sulfur springs in Hokkaido.A secret hot spring located deep in the mountains along the Osoushi forest road just before Iwamatsu Dam, which cuts through a 5-6 km stretch of Jaridat.The quality of the spring water, which has a pH of over 10, can be described as natural soapy water, which is simply wonderful.The source is a low temperature spring of 26℃, so the bathroom has two parts: a heated bathtub and a source tank, and you can stay in the bath forever by going back and forth between them.The open-air bath is lukewarm because the hot water overflowing from the indoor bath is reused. There is a large mixed hot spring bath at the very back, but it will be difficult to enjoy it unless the temperature is high.The source water is also drinkable. A pitcher is placed next to the dining room.The building, which has the charm of a Showa-era spa, cannot be described as beautiful.However, the toilet is a Western-style simple flush toilet with a washlet, ensuring a minimum level of comfort.There is no TV in the room and cell phones are generally out of range. There is WiFi, but the line is quite thin. In other words, this is a place where you can "soak in the hot springs to your heart's content and do nothing else."Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is a secret hot spring where you can truly enjoy the ultimate luxury.

I can't wait to see you again. It is a hot spring with strong alkaline properties, and has a slippery feeling that is rare in Hokkaido. It also smells like sulfur, so it's a good idea to visit it as a secret hot spring.

Excellent Japanese cuisine, authentic. Located a little out of the way, worth a detour! We were very impressed by the service, furnishings and selection of food. Gladly again and again. Very simple, but very warm. …

First visit in June 2022 I went there because I wanted to visit a hot spring that I had always wanted to visit, and I also wanted to meet Ken-chan, the Akita dog who is the signboard dog! It's an old hot spring inn that feels like the Showa era, located in the middle of a mountain where you can't even reach your mobile phone after driving about 7km along a narrow forest road! Ken-chan immediately greeted us with barking 😊 It was so cute that he came over and let me kiss him 🐕✨ The hot spring had an indoor bath, an outdoor bath, and a mixed bath in the back, but it was my first visit in the morning and there were still other customers. Since there wasn't any, I went to the mixed bathing and outdoor bathing, but I gave up on the mixed bathing because the water was cold 💦 The outdoor bathing was full of horseflies and I gave up within a minute 💦 It's in the mountains, so I can't help it... 😅 I mainly took my time in the indoor bathing. Did! The hot water was good! There was an old electric fan in the changing room, but it was broken and I couldn't use it! There were no lockers with keys, so I couldn't bring my valuables with me and had to leave them in my car, which was a hassle. Will it be renovated from fall 2022? I heard through rumors that the Akita dog Ken-chan, who was probably around 14 years old, retired from being the signboard dog of the hot springs🥲Currently in the fall of 2023🍂If he were still alive, he would probably be 15 or 16 years old.He's still alive and relaxing. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your life ✨ I was lucky that Ken-chan was still there and I was able to go there while it was open ♨️🐕✌️✨ I definitely want to go again someday when it reopens!
