Marukoma Onsen Ryokan: The hot spring source discovered by the first-generation Sasaki Hatsutaro in the fourth year of the Taisho era still boasts abundant spring water and is beloved for its quality. The natural open-air baths, scenic open-air baths, and indoor baths all offer a panoramic view of Lake Shikotsu, making the scenery a point of pride for our hot springs.
The "authentic Finnish-style sauna with a löyly (steam) option" adjacent to the large communal bath is a full-fledged facility that impresses sauna enthusiasts. It promotes sweating even at low temperatures with löyly, making it a sauna with less strain on the body.
The cold bath uses the water of Lake Shikotsu, which has been ranked as the best water in Japan for 11 consecutive years, flowing generously. Additionally, for your precious "relaxation time," outdoor air bath chairs are placed facing the breathtaking views of the national park.
The natural open-air baths, which are said to be found only in about twenty places nationwide, spring up from the ground at the same water level as Lake Shikotsu. They are located outside the lakeside area of the men’s and women’s large communal baths, offering the same stunning national park view of Lake Shikotsu from the scenic open-air baths. The private baths with barrel saunas can be enjoyed privately by families or groups.
Both the men's and women's baths boast a spectacular view of Lake Shikotsu. The spring quality is outstanding for its moisturizing effects, featuring sodium, calcium-chloride, bicarbonate, and sulfate minerals. The hot spring water is luxuriously provided through a continuous flow directly from the source.
The large bathhouse includes an "authentic Finnish-style sauna where Loyly (the throwing of water onto hot stones) is possible." This genuine sauna promotes sweating even at lower temperatures through Loyly, making it a sauna that places less burden on the body. The cold bath uses the water of Lake Shikotsu, which has been recognized for its quality as the best in Japan for 11 consecutive years, and is also supplied in a continuous flow.

Beyond the covered walkway extending from the large bathhouse, you will find a natural open-air bath with a footbath, said to be one of only about 20 in the entire country. This rustic design, separated from the lake only by rocky terrain, has preserved its appearance since the establishment of the inn.
The water is the same colorless and transparent water as Lake Shikotsu. The depth of the bath also fluctuates with the lake's water level, rising and falling with the seasons. This natural charm is why it is called a hidden hot spring. Marukoma Onsen Ryokan is also a member of the "Association to Preserve Japan's Hidden Onsen," which consists of onsen inns across the country.
With the changing scenery of each season, you can enjoy a dynamic bathing experience that makes you feel one with the nature of Shikotsu.

Known for its smooth texture, this water has a smoothing effect on the skin and is called "beauty water," making it popular among women. Due to the refreshing and invigorating feeling it provides after bathing, it is also called "refreshing water."
