Tokachigawa Onsen, Hot spring resort town in Otofuke, Hokkaido, Japan.
Tokachigawa Onsen features mineral-rich bicarbonate spring waters that emerge from beneath accumulated reed vegetation along the Tokachi River, creating therapeutic baths known for their skin-softening properties and moisturizing benefits.
The hot spring resort developed over centuries from natural geothermal activity heating underground waters, evolving into a recognized spa destination that gained official recognition as a Hokkaido Heritage Site for its distinctive mineral composition and therapeutic legacy.
Local traditions emphasize the restorative qualities of the mineral waters, with Japanese bathing customs focusing on cleanliness and tranquility, while seasonal festivals celebrate the cultural significance of hot springs in regional wellness practices.
Visitors can reach the resort by taking a limited express train from Sapporo to Obihiro Station followed by a twenty-minute taxi ride, with facilities offering indoor and outdoor baths, traditional ryokan accommodations, and year-round accessibility.
The resort features the natural phenomenon called 'unryu,' a dragon-shaped mist formation over the Tokachi River during cold months, while winter visitors can observe diamond dust ice crystals and hundreds of migratory swans gathering annually.
