Lake Kussharo Sunayu Onsen
A mysterious open-air hot spring where hot spring water gushes to the surface when you dig a hole in the sandy beach by the lake
Sunayu, located on the eastern shore of Lake Kussharo, is a unique open-air hot spring experience. Visitors can dig a hole in the sandy beach to create a warm pool with natural hot spring water that gushes to the surface. The beautiful view of the lake makes it a perfect spot to soak your feet and relax.
The area around Sunayu is a year-round attraction. In summer, visitors can swim in the lake and go camping, while in winter, a whooper swan colony comes to Lake Kussharo from Siberia, attracted by the geothermal activity. Sunayu is a popular spot for photographers to capture shots of whooper swans against backdrops of fresh snow and frozen water. There are shops, toilets, and a campground nearby.
