Shinshinotsu Onsen Tappu no Yu is found in Shinshinotsu village on the island of Hokkaido, Japan. Its sodium-chloride water, around 41°C, supplies an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna, typical of local public bathhouses.
Insider tip — In the vast rice-farming plains of Ishikari northeast of Sapporo, Shinshinotsu's Tappu no Yu — its name drawn from the Ainu language of Hokkaido's original people — rises warm from the flat Ishikari lowlands; the village's rural tranquility and Hokkaido's signature open skies make this a restorative retreat from Sapporo's urban energy.
