Goshiki Onsen
Located in the valley between Niseko Annupuri and Iwaonupuri, this hot spring is often visited by day trip bathers after climbing the Niseko Mountain Range.
From the open-air bath, you can see Niseko Annupuri and Iwaonupuri in front of you, giving you a special sense of openness. In the summer, you can hear the chirping of birds amidst the lush greenery, and in the winter, the entire area is covered in silver, allowing you to enjoy a bath while being soothed by the fantastic scenery.
