Insider tip — Tsukisamu (月寒, meaning 'cold moon') is a historically significant district of southeastern Sapporo — site of the Meiji-era Tsukisamu barracks where the famous 7th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army was based, training the soldiers who fought across northeastern Asia and the Pacific. The district has since transformed entirely into residential and park space; Tsukisamu Park's seasonal flower gardens are a popular Sapporo weekend destination. This neighborhood onsen serves a community settled on former military ground now devoted to everyday civilian life.
