Raimuto no Ie, at Nakatoya Onsen in Sobetsu, Hokkaido, near Mount Usu, heats thermal sulfurous water to 52°C, with an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna.

Insider tip — Raimuto no Ie ('Raimuto house' — possibly from an Ainu toponym) at Nakatoya Onsen sits in Sobetsu-cho, on the shores of Lake Toya near the active Usu volcano. The volcanic history of this extraordinary landscape — including the dramatic 2000 Usu eruption — is visible from the bath. One of Hokkaido's most geologically dramatic onsen settings.
