The onsen bath is very simple and quite hot (which I liked), but the whole building is smoke friendly, and I had to walk through a haze of cigarette smoke just to get back to the exit. Not at all comfortable and what I want in an onsen

I went to Niseko Weiss Onsen, which I had always wanted to try.There were many reviews saying that there were many people with tattoos, but on the Friday evening I went there, there were a lot of people who looked like workers coming home from work, and since it was a weekday, there weren't many tourists. It is. Of course, I didn't meet a single tattooed person.Unfortunately, there is no open-air bath here. The facilities are old, the water pressure in the showers is low, and there aren't many washing areas, so I sometimes had to wait in the bathtub until it was empty. The changing area was somewhat desolate and had an early Showa-era atmosphere, and the bathtub itself, with its natural hot spring water, was built like an old public bath, which I personally found depressing.They sold melons and watermelons in the lobby, which must have been harvested from nearby farms, but they weren't particularly cheap.I didn't think the hot springs were worth the nearly two-hour drive from Sapporo. However, for the locals, there is no doubt that it is a nice hot spring with free flowing water, and the employees were cheerful and had a good impression of customer service.

It's been over 20 years since Weiss Manor? This is my first visitAt that time, I remember that hot water came out from the top of the bathtub, and I remember that the water was piping hot.When I visited this time, one bathtub was partitioned off inside and had a hot bath.The bath is divided into lukewarm baths, and I took a half-body bath in the lukewarm bath, but the hot water was so warm that it was difficult to take a long bath.Also, the facilities aren't bad, but there are a lot of people in Kyowa Town who are holding down Karan with their feet! I think it's a matter of common sense or manners, but at home you don't press the faucet with your foot.At the time I visited, there were three people who were holding the bell with their feet, which was disappointing.

Hot spring water is good 👍However, the yakitori that is sold over charcoal on Saturdays and Sundays is more delicious than ♨️. 500 yen for 5 thighs, easy on your wallet. That's solid meat. I wonder if it will be baked around noon? perhaps. I'm glad you can reserve it for me. ♨️I often go there to buy yakitori lol. Ohagi is delicious, but at this time of year it's best to have a good night. I want you to try it!

Bathing 500 yenIt's a plain and old facility. The changing room was filled with the smell of toilet air freshener, which was unpleasant. cheap natural hot spring waterThe hot water is first class. It seems to be a chloride spring, but it is clear and colorless and has no taste. The scent is a strong glaucoma odor from gypsum. Since it has no taste, it has a particularly strong scent of mirabilite, giving it the feel of an authentic hot spring. Smooth and beautiful, you can experience a sense of freshness.The bathtub has separate water temperatures with partitions inside the bathtub. When I measured it, it was 45.5 degrees hot, and 42 degrees even lukewarm. I really like hot water and it's amazing!On Sundays at 1pm, there are always 4 or 5 groups of customers, making it quite popular. It's close to the national highway and the location is good, but the quality of the spring water is excellent.

This is my first visit on July 15, 2024 as a day trip bath. (I didn't stay there so I can't comment on the room)On this day, we toured Kyowa Town, visiting Hydrangea Temple Myozenji, Scarecrow Korikan, Nishimura Keio Memorial Museum, Shinsennuma Rest House, and Shinsennuma. To end our trip in Kyowa Town, we took a day trip to Weiss Onsen, which is the only hot spring located in Kyowa Town (I heard).Although it is a hot spring with only two indoor baths and no open-air bath or sauna, the hot water was nice and warm. Recently, it seems that the start time for day trip bathing on weekdays has been moved up one hour to 3:00 pm. (There are no lockers that can be locked once you enter the changing room, so we recommend using the coin-returnable lockers in the lobby area.)By the way, the dining room was not available for day trip bathers. (However, a small watermelon was sold for 1,000 yen, and 3 slices of chilled watermelon were sold for 200 yen, so I bought a cut watermelon and ate it on the spot. Chilled watermelon after a bath is special.)I thought the parking lot was huge considering the facility's contents, but as the evening progressed, more and more construction-related vehicles, both guests and others, seemed to be coming in. (Maybe they just rent out the parking lot.)I felt that it would be nice to be able to use real free-flowing water without chlorine sterilization and without circulation. (There is no doubt that it will warm up well)

I visited to use the hot spring for a day trip, but I couldn't go in because it opened at 4pm on weekdays, but the hotel staff told me about a nearby hot spring.By the way, when I visited, the hot water had not yet filled up and the temperature was over 50 degrees at that point, so I was told that I couldn't enter.The hot springs are said to gradually cool down by 4pm.But it seems like it's basically hot.
