Iwamizawa Onsen ♨️ Honoka

Honoka is a new natural hot spring that just opened in July. It is about an 8-minute drive from JR Iwamizawa Station. It takes about 40 to 50 minutes by car from Sapporo city center. The parking lot is flat and spacious. The food was the same as other Honokas. Instead of calling a staff member, it was a food court-like order & pick-up & clearing system. There were tables for 4 to 6 people and tables for 2 people. There were also private rooms for a fee. The important thing is the hot springs. There is a free-flowing open-air bath and an indoor bath! The color is brownish and it feels great. You can also enjoy a high-temperature sauna, steam sauna, foot bath, and bedrock bath. Since it just opened, the manga corner has a good selection of manga, from classic books to the latest books. The reclining chairs seem to be spaced far apart. It is moderately crowded on weekdays and is recommended for staying overnight, but I don't know how crowded it is on the day before a holiday.
