A historic hot spring town just 5 minutes by car from Hakodate Airport, offering rejuvenation and relaxation.
Yunokawa Hot Spring, visited by 1.35 million people annually, is one of Hokkaido's three major hot spring resorts. It's believed to have originated in 1653 when the 9th lord of the Matsumae Domain, Takahiro, recovered from a serious illness through its healing waters. During the Battle of Hakodate, it's also said that the former Shogunate army leader, Takeaki Enomoto, took to these waters for recuperation, attracting many for its reputed benefits.
The hot spring water is colorless, odorless, and has a smooth texture. Its sodium-calcium chloride composition is known for moisturizing effects, making it hard to catch a cold after bathing and is popular for its warming properties. It is reputed to be effective for various ailments, including rheumatism, bruises, stiff shoulders, and gastroenteritis, and is renowned for healing and soothing many over the years.
Since the establishment of a sanatorium in 1886, Yunokawa Hot Spring has evolved into a bustling area with inns, restaurants, and shops. The area is surrounded by tourist attractions, including a tropical botanical garden, Kosetsuen, and the Trappistine Convent, making it an ideal base for exploring the Minamikayabe Jomon Archaeological Sites, home to Hokkaido's only national treasure, the "Hollow Dogu." With 18 member accommodations, each offers its unique hospitality.
