Niseko Grand Hotel: Experience the Splendid Open-Air Hot Springs

This place is written as [ニセコグランドホテル] in Japanese.

Here, there is a mixed bathing facility that includes an outdoor hot spring. If you prefer separate facilities, there are also gender-segregated bath rooms available.

The open-air mixed hot spring is a spacious and comfortable option. For women using the mixed bath, there are hot spring garments similar to bathrobes provided. This facility is highly popular among both locals and tourists.

Tips: Kanro Spring Water

Across the road from the hotel, there’s a spring water source known as Kanro no Mizu (甘露の水), translating to “sweet spring water.” Emperor Showa once drank from this spring and remarked, “This water is very sweet,” hence the name Kanro no Mizu, meaning sweet spring water. Visitors can collect this spring water using pet bottles or plastic tanks. The hotel provides this water for free in the lobby, where guests can also enjoy drinking it.
