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.
