Kyowa Onsen Hokkaido

Kyowa, in the Iwamizawa area of central Hokkaido, is an agricultural community in the broad Ishikari plain whose traditional Hokkaido dairy farming and potato cultivation create a typically productive Hokkaido agricultural landscape supporting the cream, butter, and potato products that have made Hokkaido synonymous with Japanese food quality. Kyowa Onsen Hokkaido draws on chloride-rich thermal waters from the geological resources of the central Hokkaido sedimentary plain, offering warm restorative baths in an agricultural community whose dairy heritage, the flat Hokkaido agricultural landscape, and the proximity to the Iwamizawa rose garden — one of Japan's most spectacular rose displays — create a pleasantly rural and seasonal spa setting. The Iwamizawa Rose Garden with its extraordinary May and June rose blooms covering the hillside in thousands of rose varieties, the traditional Hokkaido dairy farming landscape, and the Sorachi River cycling paths through the central Hokkaido agricultural plain create an appealingly seasonal and agricultural spa destination in central Hokkaido.
