Hoheikyo Onsen sits on the outskirts of Sapporo and is popular for its proximity to the city, making it a perfect day-trip. The open-air bath is one of the largest in Japan, with a capacity of 200 people. Visitors can sit back and relax as they watch the water flow straight from the spring into the bath. For visitors coming in winter, jingisukan BBQ (a local BBQ dish made with lamb) is a popular and highly recommended local treat. From inside one of the largest igloos in Japan, patrons can grill up their meals and enjoy the ambiance.
