Top 5 Relaxation Onsen Hotels in Niseko for Soothing Summer Escape

REST, RELAX & REJUVENATE WITH A NISEKO ONSEN

Onsen bathing in Japan can be just as enjoyable in the summer, especially in a beautiful destination like Niseko. After outdoor activities like rafting and cycling, a dip into onsen waters can be therapeutic and incredibly relaxing. You can even time your onsen visit to coincide with the sunset and a view of Mt Yotei for a magical moment.

Dinner is another highlight of an onsen vacation. Package meals are elaborate, multi-course affairs with a variety of dishes and ingredients that are artfully arranged to reflect local and seasonal specialties. Dinners usually mirror kaiseki ryori, which is multi-course Japanese style haute cuisine, Edomae Sushi etc.

 

From private transfer and hotels to meals plan, Zekkei can create a Onsen package that’s right for you. But you are not limited to hotels, we have villas and chalets with onsen. Experiences can also be added after you’ve booked. Our packages make it simple to plan.
