Matsumae Hot Spring
Matsumae Onsen, where the lord of Matsumae Castle is said to have entered
This natural hot spring is located in the town of Matsumae in the southernmost part of Hokkaido. Matsumae is the only castle town in Hokkaido and is famous for its cherry blossoms. 150 years ago, the onsen was discovered, and it is believed that the lord of Matsumae Castle may have taken a bath in this historic hot spring. The hot spring water, which is 100% natural, is known for its resistance to cooling and its smoothness. The natural hot spring can be enjoyed at two locations: a ryokan built near Matsumae Castle and a one-day spa facility. After strolling through the historical townscape, why not relax in the hot springs?
