Hokkaido — 定山渓温泉
9 stays with a private bath · Sapporo's hot-spring valley, about an hour from the city centre in the Toyohira river gorge
Every property listed here has a private bath — a reservable private bath or an open-air bath in your own room — so tattoos are a non-issue, and so is privacy.
Hokkaido · Getting there: Sapporo's hot-spring valley, about an hour from the city centre in the Toyohira river gorge
Forest cottages and terrace rooms with their own open-air baths, filled straight from the source — a big Tsuruga resort an hour from central Sapporo.
Every room has its own hinoki onsen bath, and four reservable open-air baths are free to use as often as you like — a Kyoritsu resort in the Jozankei valley.
Most rooms look over the valley through a wall of glass with an onsen view bath beside it — the hotel dug for three years to find its own source.
The Shikanoyu group's annex: premium rooms with free-flowing onsen of your own, three reservable baths, and water blended from three sources.
Every room has an onsen bath fed by the group's three self-flowing riverbed sources, and the Morinoyu private bath — open-air and indoor tubs — can even be booked by day visitors.
A small club-style annex where every room's tub has its own source valve — turn it and unheated, undiluted spring water runs in, straight from the group's three riverbed sources.
Premium rooms and the top suite draw the 75°C source straight into the room, and two reservable baths — one domed for meditation — overlook the Toyohira river gorge.
A lantern-lit wooden inn with onsen rooms, a reservable hinoki bath that day visitors can use too, and a three-floor bathhouse — dogs are welcome in the pet rooms.
High-floor rooms with view baths of real Jozankei onsen water, in the valley's biggest hotel — pick a room type with the onsen view bath.
Prices are a guide from rates checked on Klook in November 2026 and change by date and room type — always confirm the live price on the booking page.
