Rishiri Fureai Onsen: A natural hot spring where you can enjoy the golden waters of Japan's northernmost hot spring

Rishiri Fureai Onsen is a hot spring facility attached to Hotel Rishiri on Rishiri Island in Hokkaido. It is the only natural hot spring attached to an accommodation facility on both Rishiri Island and Rebun Island. The warm brown water boasts one of the highest hydrogen carbonate contents in Japan. When it comes into contact with air, it turns a metallic brown, so it is also called golden water. It also has high and low temperature saunas! You can enjoy the unobstructed view of the Sea of ​​Japan from the open-air bath. The day-use hot spring is open all year round, so please visit it. The main entrance may be closed in winter. Please go straight from the hotel entrance towards the sea and turn right, and you will see the entrance to the day-use hot spring. When I visited, it was just New Year's season, so there were cocoon ball decorations at the reception. Another attractive point is that you can feel the four seasons that are typical of Rishiri.
