Jozankei Hot Springs

Did I "heart" Niseko? I loved the food and that's important! Niseko is a busy and well designed ski resort in Japan. period. If you are looking for good snow (lots of snow), great ski runs and fun apres ski this is your place. I wasn't there for the skiing, but I did appreciate the heated sidewalks taking you through town, the multiple restaurants to choose from and the lovely onsens. David loved all the powder and the mountain! He especially loved his last ski day since they were finally able to groom some of the runs.
Now....do I "heart" Jozankei Onsen? Yes! This hot spring town is located inside Shikotsu-Toya National Park between the high cliffs of the Toyohira River. It is absolutely enchanting and quiet in the winter.
Our traditional Japanese hotel serves us two traditional meals a day with unlimited onsen access - there's even one in our room!
This is a perfect two day stop before we drive to our final destination - Sapporo!Read more
