Shinrin Koen Onsen, known as Kiyora, is located in the Atsubetsu ward of Sapporo, Hokkaido, next to a forest park. Its sodium-chloride thermal water reaches around 40°C (pH 7.3), with an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — Kiyora (pure clarity) onsen in eastern Sapporo's Atsubetsu district sits beside a Shinrin Koen (forest park) of birch and ash woodland — one of the city's largest natural green spaces, with cycling trails, winter cross-country ski loops, and spectacular autumn foliage. Eastern Sapporo is quieter and more residential than the famous Susukino entertainment district, preserving an older Hokkaido town atmosphere. The forest surroundings give Kiyora a distinctive woodland quality unusual for a major city's neighborhood spa — clear spring water in a city park forest setting.
