The Onsen experience was fantastic. My skin feels much smoother and definitely helps my dry skin. The place is walking distance from the bus stop. A worthwhile 2 hrs bus long travel from SAPPORO STATION.

If you are visiting Jozankei for a day, I really recommend this onsen. When you first arrive you take off your shoes and leave them in a locker in the entrance (100 yen), then there is a machine right besides to take your entrance ticket to the onsen (980 yen). Once you enter the changing room, there is another locker (100 yen) where you can leave your stuff. And there is as well a basket to leav...

This is a great place for dinner and onsen in Jozankei. It is one of the few onsen in the area which accepts non-staying guests in the evenings during peak holiday periods. The spacious restaurant upstairs closes at 8:00PM (Last Order 7:00PM). You order from a touch screen or regular vending machine. We tried their jingisukan, soup curry, and katsu set meals, all were copious and delicious. There...

Great outdoor onsen, with a nice top view. Great atmosphere especially when snowing. The entrance is quite cheap, and it has a canteen on the 2F where you can also rest. It’s an « old-school » vibe onsen but really peaceful place to chill and relax

When is the best time to visit Yunohanajozankeiden (Sapporo, Japan)?

In winter, snow blankets the valley and makes outdoor baths feel extra cozy—wear slip-resistant shoes at shuttle stops. In summer, lush greenery frames the pools—open the windows fully for fresh air.
