If you’re considering a trip to Japan, we would definitely recommend including a stay at an onsen. These naturally occurring hot springs have a variety of health benefits and can ease the tension in your mind and body. Also, we know that everyone likes to feel pampered once in a while. Niseko is famous for the winter holidays, where guests can indulge in skiing and snowboarding all day long. But, come rain or shine, and regardless of the season, the onsens are the ideal place to relax and unwind. There are a multitude of onsens in the area. Here’s a rundown of the top onsens in Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 08, 2024.

1. Hotel Kanronomori (from USD 113)

The amenities differ depending on the type of apartment that you select. However, they all have a flat-screen television and DVD player.

The main hot spring bath is open to the public at a cost of 14 USD from 10 am until 10 pm.
