What you’ll do

A peaceful hot-spring town hidden inside the dramatic valleys of Shikotsu-Toyako National Park. Jozankei is where steaming onsen meet snow-covered forests, river views, and quiet mountain air. In winter, the town glows with warm ryokan lights, footbaths, and the soft sound of the Toyohira River flowing between cliffs.

Dip into open-air baths surrounded by snow, explore cozy cafés, stroll over red bridges, and catch scenic lookouts like Hoheikyo Dam. It’s the perfect escape from Sapporo—calm, healing, and beautifully cinematic in every season.
