Jozankei Onsen Trip ~ "Shika no Yu" is a Must-Visit!

Visiting Jozankei in Hokkaido for the first time, I was fortunate to choose this hotel. From nearby attractions to the hotel's facilities, everything was so abundant and impressive that it left me in awe! Let me introduce them one by one.

🌿 "Jozan Gensen Park" ~ 1-minute walk from the hotel.
🌿 "Jozankei Onsen" ~ 2-minute walk.
🌿 "Jozankei Shrine" ~ 6-minute walk.
🌷 "Futami Park" ~ 3-minute walk.
🌷 "Futami Suspension Bridge" ~ 6-minute walk.

🌹 From June to October every year, there is the "Jozankei Nature Luminarie" show at night, and this year marks its 10th edition! The show takes place within "Futami Park," accessible via the Futami Suspension Bridge. It's a nighttime light and sound performance that beautifully blends with nature! 💫 The highlight is that it's exclusively available to guests staying at Jozankei hotels.

🤩 As for the hotel's facilities, they are truly diverse and vibrant!
🌻 Upon entering the hotel lobby, there's a "Sound Lounge" for relaxation!
🪻 The hotel rooms, regardless of type, come with tatami mats and large glass windows. Although there are no private bathrooms, the large onsen bathhouse more than makes up for it.
🌻 Outside the men's and women's onsen areas, there's a cozy lounge equipped with free massage chairs, which is very thoughtful.
🪻 On the fourth floor of the hotel, there's a multi-purpose activity area offering free ping-pong tables, paid desserts and drinks, and even a game room. It's truly lively and fun!
💫💫 The hotel also provides breakfast and dinner buffets, included in the room rate! The variety of food is abundant and does not disappoint.

🚌 Getting to the hotel from Susukino is simple. Just search on the map, and you'll find several bus routes to Jozankei. I took the Rapid 7H (towards Hoheikyo Onsen) and got off at "Jozankei Onsen Town" after about an hour. From there, it's just a 2-minute walk to the hotel.

💫💫 Here's a little tip: "Shika no Yu" and "Hana Momiji" are two separate hotels, but they are connected by a passageway. Guests from both hotels can use the facilities of both, including the onsen and breakfast! Staying at one hotel gives you access to multiple experiences, making it truly worth it, worth it, super worth it! 💫💫
