I love hot springs, so I visit a hot spring known as an “Onsen” in Hokkaido every week. I’d like to introduce you to “Tsurukame Onsen” located in Yoichi-gun, Hokkaido.
The special feature of “Tsurukame Onsen” is its use of natural hot spring water directly from the source, known as “gensen kakenagashi.” There are two types of hot springs: one is the circulating type, where the water is reused, and the other is the “gensen kakenagashi,” where fresh hot spring water is continuously supplied. “Gensen kakenagashi” is considered a luxurious and rare type of hot spring.
“Tsurukame Onsen” offers this premium experience of “gensen kakenagashi,” which is why I highly recommend it to you.
