Akan Yuku no Sato Tsuruga Wings Tower (1 Night): Enjoy two large and unique outdoor onsen hot springs with stunning views of Lake Akan. Lose yourself as you soak away your physical and mental stress in the rejuvenating onsen hot spring waters.

Kitakobushi Shiretoko Hotel & Resort (1 Night): A large-scale Japanese resort hotel facing the harbor with splendid views of the Sea of Okhotsk from the public bath and the open-air bath on the top floor.

Sounkyo Choyotei (1 Night): Choose to bathe in the open-air or inside bath, with spring water that is cloudy with the healing minerals and the slight smell of sulfur. Or relax in the open-air bath facing the forested mountain side, as you listen to the sound of the Ishikari River through the trees.
