Kamoidake Onsen

Kamoidake Onsen is a hot spring in Hokkaido associated with Mount Kamoidake, one of the volcanic peaks of the Daisetsuzan volcanic system that generates the abundant geothermal activity of central Hokkaido, producing the sulfurous and simple mineral waters characteristic of volcanic hot springs in this thermally active alpine zone. The Daisetsuzan region of central Hokkaido is Japan's largest national park, encompassing vast areas of volcanic highland, pristine beech and Sakhalin fir forests, and some of the most remote and spectacular mountain terrain in the country, all underlain by the volcanic systems that generate the numerous hot springs distributed across this extraordinary landscape. The volcanic sulfurous waters of Kamoidake Onsen carry the distinctive mineral character of Daisetsuzan geothermal activity, offering the kind of intensely natural and physiologically stimulating bathing experience associated with Japan's most powerful volcanic spring sources.
