SodiumChloruresBrome
Teine Onsen Honoka sits in Teine, a district of Sapporo on the island of Hokkaido. Its sodium-chloride thermal water reaches 40°C, feeding an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — Teine is Sapporo's westernmost district and its only ski resort within city limits — the Sapporo Teine ski area hosted the alpine events of the 1972 Winter Olympics. 'Honoka' (gentle, soft glow) is an apt name for this neighborhood onsen where Olympic history and everyday Sapporo life converge. Soak while looking out over the Ishikari Plain toward the Sea of Japan — the same panorama that the 1972 Olympians saw from the slopes above. Sapporo's famous Susukino entertainment district is just 30 minutes by train.
