Of that hinterland of Hokkaido is a place of development in the unexplored region ridiculous across the board, the development of high-speed road network is progressing, although he is mean that person of the bear is tampered such as more than car well in the percentage of course, I visited a place called Hot Springs Horoka this time. In Hokkaido hot spring heaven, it's location is only one of the hot springs very minor, but strangely in a variety of sublime place in Mita rich past unexplored region without odd anyway, are you going too was hard then and I went Now that you have stuck in the memory, to be reported here.

It's there this land, in a location close to the national road 273 number along that passing in Asahikawa across the Daisetsu from Obihiro to be "Hokkaido Kato-gun Kamishihoro town Horoka" In terms of the address, but an hour and a half each way from Obihiro, from Asahikawa It is located at a distance of about two hours. It is a place settlements does not exist at all around, as has become the island of land. Along the way, she gets that pass through the side of Nukabirako, but break in progress, because who had way too long too.

Nukabirako is known that there is Taushubetsu bridges (Hokkaido heritage selection) concrete arch bridge of the old Shihorosen. We shall try to walk there because it says that there is a gazebo with a view of the waste bridge over the lake to stop the car from the national road side. There is a point where the forest lush dense is open part, it can be seen that it is a high-wire trace clearly. Is this the guy in the old Shihorosen.

There is nothing too around, some places only environment close to the virgin forest barring national highway. The real scary I met everywhere a sign of fresh bear infested attention. We're not sure what meet such a place, when the bear's because I have much in the news of TV often brown bear came out even in Sapporo.

The person who is there seems to go to the observatory can be seen Taushubetsu bridge and proceed about 200 meters road while scared but came bell shade ... bear much from marked with Maybe was good.

The ... is, it does not appear to be almost under water ... Most alleged waste bridge visionary. By the way, this state in early July.
In the man-made dam lake that was in place after the war for power generation, water level varies considerably by season Nukabirako. Snowmelt also because there is not much to come in until about May to March, that it overlooks the whole bridge, brave figure, such as the ruins of ancient Rome and totally seen.

Go about 8 km to the Mikuni Pass Asahikawa area further from Nukabirako, where about two kilometers entered a side street from there, alleged Horoka hot springs of purpose came in sight at last. Here the land it is really isolated. Only some two eaves standing hot spring inn, he is nothing other. Situation without a scale of about call his spa town, and a building is easy gain of planking handful If you visit fact.

Written as "fairyland Horoka Onsen hot spring gorge of Daisetsuzan National Park natural", sign it sere very. There's two hotels hot spring inn, but they've been closed since January 2011 is Kanshu would be built in passed away one of the hotels "Horoka hot spring inn" them.

Therefore inn is open in the current Horoka hot spring here is only the one house "Yumoto Shikanotani (Kanoya)" only. How tired is still tremendous. Without that difference tourists come all together and Toya and Noboribetsu per humble, it's quiet anyway.

The good came but when I open the front door remains dubious and ... and what really put a hot spring, old lady was come out one person from the back. People were good to stay. I mean miracle or rather to be thankful I met away from the beaten track extremely, is that there is only one house alone on a hot spring inn that people live here. Although it is very life so everyday when it comes to to live here.
Takaya hot springs predecessor practice as accommodation of afforestation for employees in the early Showa era, Horoka hot spring is a hot spring inn that has been practiced for many years in this area from 1946 is currently the "Yumoto Shikanotani". It is also room of course, but can also use day. Was one 500 yen.

Sign of "Description of spring quality adaptation". It is a thing of natural sodium fountain gushing 70 degrees Celsius, iron mineral, calcium fountain, with the sulfur spring,. It is a hot spring that seems effectiveness in apt. Well imprisonment.

If you go back to most remain guided the corridor of the hotel dim light also erased, there is a changing room that was divided into separate men and women there. The toilet on the right. I could see the personal belongings's is put in a full appearance a wild household somehow the rest. First place inn's hot spring cure, and whether such mon well.

But changing rooms by gender ... as soon as entering the bathroom I noticed that it was connected to the same bathroom and take off your clothes emergency.
The ... will say, this mixed bathing.
Spring quality seems to be different from each other "Natoryumu Izumi", "iron mineral," "Izumi Karushumu" (both original mom) and from the front tub lined three. The old .. but bathroom was spacious waste, not too much that the customer comes to the other, and if I soaked in the bathtub hilt a private good as a luxury, one person customers uncle came later.

Open-air bath is are available in the back also luxury to Yumoto Shikanotani incidentally, it is be able to spend a relaxing time in the wilderness of Hokkaido out into the field remains full monty.
As the name of the hot spring inn called "Shikanotani" is that it's the taste hot spring experience full of rustic another deer appeared from around when I soaked in this open-air bath, but went and raining ... the rain cold and then deer I did not come out as well. Conduct daily seems to be bad defintely. Let's go back indoors again.

It is a feeling of full throttle, it has not been doing a very narrow then this hot spring inn remain one house only in Horoka hot spring, likely also face you do not know how long can I continue to business now another. Which Taushubetsu bridges to collapse and have to say that the only negative ... and would be fast but it was just really hot water. I can realize firsthand the horror of unexplored hot springs of Hokkaido earth only to be tried. Recommended.
