An inn that keeps the source flowing
Yunokawa Onsen is a spa of Hakodate with more than 500 years of history. Among its inns this one keeps the way of running the source straight through without heating or circulation, offering a clean bath that is rare these days. It is received from early morning to late at night, so it suits the start or the end of a trip to Hakodate.
Combining it with a trip to Hakodate
It is a minute's walk from Hakodate Arena and two minutes from the tram stop, so access is good. In the morning you can visit after seeing the Hakodate morning market, and at night you can take a closing bath after the night view. If you move by tram, it is easy to stop at even without a car.

More in this area
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.
