Things to do in Hōheikyō Hot Spring

This was a small group tour with only about a dozen people, and our beautiful guide, Ms. Arctic Cherry, was with us the entire time. Her dedication is truly trustworthy. She introduced all the scenic spots on the itinerary in Chinese, English, and Japanese – Lake Toya, Hoheikyo, Showa Shinzan, the Bear Park, the spring water at Meisui Park. She even recommended local specialty products unique to each place. She is truly beautiful inside and out. I hope this isn't a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I look forward to setting off again to different Hokkaido attractions next time.

Our tour guide today was Sakura, and I was so touched! She's the best tour guide I've ever had. She's not only enthusiastic but also very lively, and she's also very gentle with the travelers. I took some really great photos today, the weather was perfect, and Sakura was very attentive to everyone. I highly recommend Sakura, and I hope everyone gives her lots of positive feedback!💗💗💗💗💗💗

Guide Kim In-jae contacted me a day in advance regarding the necessary preparations and meeting location, and I was able to easily find it thanks to the location tag provided. While traveling by bus, they explained Sapporo and the Ainu people, which was refreshing and informative. Noboribetsu had a unique landscape that is hard to find in Korea, and surprisingly, Fukidashi Park was very cool, like having the air conditioning on. Out of the three days of tours to Noboribetsu, Biei, and Shakotan during my Sapporo trip, the Noboribetsu tour was the best. I am also grateful to the guide for being so kind and answering questions thoroughly 😃

Overall great transportation to Onsen. They will recommend that you go to Hoheikyo Onsen at the last stop. Kappa liner needs to be reserved through hotline that is only in Japanese, and info center says need to pay them toll fee to help call for booking. It was very confusing. Regardless I went to take the kappa liner from sapporo exit 23 without reservation and there were many seats - maybe because it is the summer.

Thank you for the kind and helpful explanation. I had a wonderful day. Thank you again!

I thought it was a pity that I didn't book the "Kappa", but the convenience of taking the "Rapid 7" allowed us to get off and walk around wherever we wanted! The hot spring experience was to go to "Warm Inn Furukawa" to catch the noon bathing time "12:00-15:00". The whole hot spring area was very comfortable and made me very relaxed. The open-air area was very worthwhile! On the way back to Sapporo, I picked up another "Mt. Moiwa Night View" so the itinerary activity was very worthwhile!

Yeah it was a really fun experience to go to the hot springs town and it was a easy process to get to there. Wasn’t too busy on way there was more busy on way back

I had a good trip in late May when the weather is ambiguous! The bus ride only took an hour, the buffet was adequate, and the water quality seemed appropriate. However, I regret that there was not much information about this product. That's all for the overall review, and from now on, I will explain the schedule and method from the process of going to the hot spring to returning to Sapporo Station. First, you need to visit the Tourist Information on the first floor of the TV Tower before the date you applied for the hot spring and make a reservation for the Kappa Liner bus and receive the ticket. If you say that you have made a reservation for the hot spring tour and show them the QR code, they will tell you where and when to get on the bus and give you the ticket. The bus stop at Sapporo Station is stop number 27 in front of exit 23. If you arrive at the stop before the departure time, a staff member will come and check your name. When you board the bus, the driver will check once more, so just tell them your name. The stop you will get off at is Shiroitonotaki Station. When the announcement is made, press the bus bell! Then, when you get off, tear off the last section of the bus ticket and put it in the slot next to the driver. When you get off, walk a little to the right and you will see a large intersection. Turn left and you will see a resort with 'Mori no Uta' written on it. Show your ticket at the reception and they will tell you the buffet time, buffet table number, and hot spring time and give you a pamphlet with information. Go to the buffet on the side and eat, then when you come out, return the pamphlet to the reception and they will give you one large towel and one small towel. Take them and go straight and you will see the hot spring. Take off your shoes and put them in the shoe rack, go to the men's and women's baths and leave your personal belongings in the cabinet. There is a shower room, a cold bath, a lukewarm bath, a warm hot bath, a lukewarm bubble bath, a shallow bath, and a sauna indoors, and there is one very hot open-air bath and one moderately hot bath outdoors, so you can choose. By the way, amenities such as cleansing foam, shampoo, and body wash are already provided. After the hot springs, wait at the bus stop located exactly across the street from where you got off the first bus. The bus will come on time, so you can take it and return! Enjoy your time more comfortably.
