    Accommodations / Hot Spring
    Hokkaido Kameda-gun Nanaecho Nakano 194-1
    This day-use hot spring, open since 1999, is about a ten-minute drive from Hakodate Interchange. In recent years, Nanae Town has seen a variety of businesses gather due to a positive labor market, but this facility's name comes from the area's history as the starting point for western apple cultivation in Japan. This hot spring neither adds water nor recirculates the spring water so the hot spring effects are particularly strong. The alkaline simple springs are said to be effective at treating nerve pain, muscle soreness and joint pain, as well as helping with fatigue recovery. In addition to the reasonable price, the natural hot spring is gentle on the body and offers lasting warmth, making it particularly popular with older customers and women.

    函館市の隣町、七飯町の農道に立地しています。JRの駅からは遠いのでレンタカーが必須です。函館といえば湯の川温泉が有名ですが、周りの街にも沢山あるようです。こちらは町営のためかお値段も安く地元民も気軽に利用している雰囲気でした。浴槽はあまり大きくはありませんが、泉質はしっとりとしている単純泉でした、芯まで温まって湯冷めしませんでした。混雑もなく、料金も安いのでコスパ良好な温泉だと思います。

  • Nukabira Gensen Go
