Beneath Mt. Komagatake, life slows to the sound of wind in the pines and ripples on the lake. Wake to views of green in summer or white in winter, and breathe in the cool air. Savor the sea and mountains at dinner, then soak in the open-air bath as steam rises into twilight. Spend the day on the forest trails, at the historic Hokkaido Country Club, or gliding across Onuma by boat. In festival season, the lake glows with century-old tradition; in winter, snow folds the world in quiet, and skiing feels like moving through a living painting.
Fed by a spring on the hotel grounds, with a steady supply of 270 liters of hot water per minute, this is a simple hot spring that is gentle on the skin. The spring water is alkaline and is said to be effective in relieving fatigue, neuralgia, and muscle pain. The soft, clear, colorless water is good for the skin and is said to have an "emulsifying action" that removes excess oil and dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth and silky. Visitors can also enjoy the view of the four seasons over the pond from the open-air baths.
