Hokkaido · Toyotomi Onsen (far north)
Toyotomi Onsen Fureai Center
豊富温泉 ふれあいセンター（町営）
The town-run bathhouse at the heart of Toyotomi Onsen, Japan's northernmost hot-spring village, an hour by car from Wakkanai airport. The spring was struck during oil exploration in 1926 and still carries traces of petroleum — a rarity worldwide, with an oily smell and slippery feel. It is famed as a 'miracle bath' that draws people from across Japan seeking relief from atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Besides the general bath there is a cooler cure bath for long soaks. Admission is a cheap ¥510; open 10:00–21:00 (last entry 20:30), closed every other Thursday. The canteen serves jingisukan lamb and set meals. Fit it into a far-north drive with the Sarobetsu wetlands and views of Mt Rishiri. About 10 minutes by bus from JR Toyotomi Station.

Dai-ichi Takimotokan
Hokkaido's flagship onsen ryokan: a vast 5,000 m² bathhouse overlooking Jigokudani with 35 tubs fed by five spring types — sulfur, salt, sulfate and more. Day bathing is accepted from 9:00 to 18:00. An indoor heated pool makes it good for families. Tattoos not permitted.
Yumoto Sagiri-yu
The only bathhouse-style onsen in the middle of Noboribetsu's resort strip. Two spring sources piped from Jigokudani — sulfur and the alum 'eye bath' found nowhere else — for ¥500.
Noboribetsu Sekisuitei (day use)
A large hotel whose top-floor 'sky' open-air baths look over the Noboribetsu hills. Day use in two windows — 5–9 am and 11 am–7 pm — for ¥1,200. A little away from the main strip, so quieter.
