Jozankei Onsen

September 15

Situated in the mountains just west of Sapporo, Jozankei is a hot spring (onsen) town struggling with decreasing tourism. Several onsen facilities here are abandoned and left to decay. The ones still being run are splendid however.

Toyohira river cuts through the Jozankei onsen town.

We ended up going to Yunohana Jozankeiden (定山渓温泉 湯の花定山渓殿). It had a serene outside area with a pretty view toward a mountainside.

I could drink the strawberry milk by the gallon.
