Jozankei Gorge Vicinity

One of the most scenic hot spring resorts in Hokkaido is just a short hop from Sapporo. Easily accessible in under an hour from the city, it is most famous for its stunning autumn foliage, but the area exhibits beauty throughout the year. A river runs through the middle of the gorge, and in the town, hot water flows from mini-waterfalls, and there are even footbaths where visitors can sit and relax.
