Lake Shikaribetsu Kotan Open-air Hot Spring Bath on Ice
A moment soaking in an open-air bath in a fantastic world of white and silver
Shikaribetsuko Kotan is a dreamy village built on a frozen lake for only 60 days. A must-see spot in this Kotan is the open-air hot spring bath on ice that you can enjoy on the lake. This is the only place where you can soak in an open-air bath overlooking a world of pure white snow and ice. A bathtub is built on the ice of Lake Shikaribetsu only during the coldest months, when the difference between the hot spring and the outside temperature can be over 60 degrees Celsius. Why not warm up slowly in the brown water? Taking a bath while looking out at the spectacular view is a special experience. There is also a foot bath, so you can easily experience an open-air bath on ice.
