What makes it 83% Solo-Friendly: The day-use onsen offers multiple bath types, saunas, a quiet lounge and valley views, so a solo visitor can relax easily, reach it by free shuttle and need little extra support.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for solo trip: This allows time to try the main baths, sauna circuit, rest lounge, and café without rushing.
Open-air Valley Baths:
Soak in the Japanese-style outdoor pool framed by stone spouts with panoramic views of Jōzankei valley.
Tip: Arrive 30 minutes before sunset for soft light and fewer visitors.
Jet Bath Self-Massage:
Use targeted water jets on your back and legs to relieve travel fatigue.
Tip: Spend 5–10 minutes per muscle group and pause to stretch between rounds.
Sauna Circuit:
Move between the dry sauna, mist sauna, and cold plunge for a revitalizing cycle.
Tip: Follow a warm-cold-warm pattern and finish in the cold bath to boost circulation.
Rest Lounge Break:
Relax in the low-lit lounge with chairs, books, and music included in entry.
Tip: Choose a corner with magazines or bring your own book to unwind quietly.
Café Refreshment:
Enjoy noodles, sweets, and hot drinks at the second-floor café overlooking the valley.
Tip: Try the matcha sweets and sit by the window to keep the view in sight.

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
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.
