Tokachigawa Onsen
Tokachigawa Onsen is a moor hot spring. In ancient times, reeds and other plants grew naturally along the Tokachi River, and these plants accumulated over a long period of time. This Plant rich water is what makes moor hot springs unique. It is said that the Ainu people used to call it a “medicine swamp.” The amber-colored hot water is a gift from ancient times.
Moor Onsen are botanical hot springs, and was selected as a Hokkaido Heritage Site in 2004 for its water quality, which is rare in the world compared to general mineral hot springs. It is also known as a hot spring for beauty because its water is mellow and is gentle on the skin. Your skin will become moist and smooth after soaking in the hot spring.
River activity
You can enjoy river activities on the beautiful Tokachi River. A guide will take you on a slow river trip by raft boat, canoe, or SUP, where you can meet white-tailed eagles and red-crowned cranes and look for obsidian. There are also guided tours where you can experience early morning hot air balloons rides overlooking the Tokachi Plain and the Hidaka Mountains, and cycling on fat bikes.
In winter, we recommend the snowmobile tour for active people, and the Tokachi River Winter Cruise, where you can watch eagles while you go down the river.
