Jozankei Dai-ichi Hotel is a landmark property in Jozankei Onsen, famously known as 'Sapporo's backyard hot spring,' a mountain resort nestled in the Toyohira River gorge just one hour from central Sapporo yet feeling worlds away in its forested mountain setting of autumn maples, winter snow, and rushing river rapids. The resort community is named after the Zen monk Jozan Miidera, who discovered the springs in 1866 and devoted himself to sharing their waters with all who came to bathe, establishing a tradition of open and welcoming onsen culture that persists today. The Hoheikyo Dam gorge and the Jozankei Geopark trails add natural adventure to the well-being experience, making Jozankei a year-round destination for Sapporo residents seeking seasonal mountain beauty alongside classic Hokkaido onsen hospitality.
