Onsens are a great way to relax, calm the mind, boost metabolism, help skin conditions, reduce lactic acid in muscles, & enhance sleep.
I'll explain area history & onsen etiquette. Tattoos are okay! The onsens we go to are public and all have both an indoor & outdoor onsen option. Meet up for a post-onsen beverage (usually a bottle of water is included to hydrate yourself) on a tatami mat rest area. Lockers available to secure valuables (100 yen) or you can leave things locked in my van.
Example itinerary:
00:00 Meet in Hirafu & drive to onsen (discuss onsen etiquette, area history, restaurant recommendations)
00:30 Arrive onsen, hand out towels, enjoy onsen for 1 hour
01:30 Meet at tatami room to re-hydrate
01:40 Depart for Hirafu
~02:00 Arrive Hirafu
Other things to note
Tattoos allowed & DO NOT need to be covered. Alcohol & cameras not allowed. Use small modesty towel to cover private parts. Put modesty towel on head in onsen. No running/swimming. No swimsuits. Don't let hair touch onsen water (tie up). Get out if you feel dizzy. If in doubt, do what the locals do.

Hi, I'm Rob. I've been an AirBnB Superhost for 5 years and know all the best onsens in the Niseko area! There's nothing like soaking your tired bones in a steaming hot bath outdoors after a big day skiing/snowboarding/snowshoeing! It truly is the ultimate Japanese experience and you shouldn't leave Hokkaido without trying it! It's even more of a treat when it's snowing outside which happens almost daily in the winter here. Please message me if your group would like to go at another time/date and I can create an AirBnB Experience.
Where you'll be
We'll visit an onsen outside of the Niseko ski resort where fewer tourists venture. Some onsens close on a specific day of the week so I will adjust accordingly.
Rated 5.0 out of 5 from 18 reviews.
Rob was awesome. He provided our group an awesome experience. He went above a beyond. I highly recommend the onsen tour. Rob does a great job of providing background and historical meaning to the different places we saw. I would definitely do this again.

We really enjoyed the onsen experience. Going off the beaten path and learning about the ritual and custom in a magical, authentic setting was so special. Rob was a great guide and provided us with a lot of context and information that helped enrich our experience.

I've got to say that this is one the best experiences I will never forget. Taking a bath in an outdoor onsen in the middle of snowy mountains with the snow falling was just so serene and so magical. It was what we really needed after a long day of playing with the snow.

This is a great way to have a more authentic onsen experience outside the main tourist area. It’s especially great if you like me travel solo without access to car! Rob is a great host and don’t forget to ask him for restaurant recommendations as he does know some fantastic places :)
