So, I decided to take a drive up north. I stopped by the unique Ch\u014dzame Museum in Bifuka and enjoyed some sheep milk at a roadside station. Since I was in the area, I thought it would be a great opportunity to visit Teshio River Onsen, which had caught my interest.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>\n.simpleblogcard-template-gridcard-e7cbe5cfb7f7bad1fb6cd4aa0145c598 .card {\n\tborder-right: solid 5px #000080;\n}\n.simpleblogcard-template-gridcard-e7cbe5cfb7f7bad1fb6cd4aa0145c598 .card-image {\n\tgrid-column: 1 \/ span 3;\n\torder: 1;\n}\n.simpleblogcard-template-gridcard-e7cbe5cfb7f7bad1fb6cd4aa0145c598 .card-content {\n\tgrid-column: 4 \/ span 9;\n\torder: 2;\n}\n.simpleblogcard-template-gridcard-e7cbe5cfb7f7bad1fb6cd4aa0145c598 .card-title {\n\tline-height: 80%;\n}\n.simpleblogcard-template-gridcard-e7cbe5cfb7f7bad1fb6cd4aa0145c598 .card-description {\n\tline-height: 80%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"simpleblogcard-template-gridcard simpleblogcard-template-gridcard-e7cbe5cfb7f7bad1fb6cd4aa0145c598\">\n\t\t\t<a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.thmiyake.com\/en\/2024\/08\/13\/sturgeons-arent-sharks\/\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"card-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.thmiyake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240812_030730641.jpg\" alt=\"Sturgeons Aren\u2019t Actually Sharks | \u5b66\u3073\u306e\u304b\u3051\u3089 \u2013 Bits of learnings\" width=\"80\" height=\"60\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 80px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 80\/60;\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card-content\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"card-host\">blog.thmiyake.com<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"card-title\">Sturgeons Aren\u2019t Actually Sharks | \u5b66\u3073\u306e\u304b\u3051\u3089 \u2013 Bits of learnings<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"card-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tI visit Hokkaido quite often, but looking back, I realized I haven&amp;#039;t really spent much time in the northern part of the prefecture.

It turned out to be a charming little station. Surrounded by blooming buckwheat flowers, the station stood alone and looked picturesque. Teshio River Onsen itself is situated in a wellness center that has a very local feel. Even though it was a hot afternoon, it was crowded with local residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onsen.thmiyake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240812_051111075.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" data-id=\"2998\" data-src=\"https:\/\/onsen.thmiyake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240812_051111075-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2998 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/onsen.thmiyake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240812_051111075-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onsen.thmiyake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240812_051111075-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onsen.thmiyake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240812_051111075-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onsen.thmiyake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/PXL_20240812_051111075.jpg 1434w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/771;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Spacious Indoor Bath<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The spacious indoor bath features a jacuzzi and a regular bath, with a window that opens up to an outdoor bath. It felt a bit exposed, as the area beyond seemed to overlook a grassy plaza (although I wasn\u2019t sure about that).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The onsen water had a slight yellowish tint, with a smooth texture that felt somewhat slippery. While the outdoor bath looked nice, there were many horseflies buzzing around, making it difficult to relax, so I quickly retreated back to the indoor bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The source of the hot spring is called J\u014dban Kosen. It\u2019s classified as a sodium-magnesium bicarbonate and chloride cold mineral spring, with a low temperature of 9.8 degrees Celsius and a total mineral content of 4235 mg\/kg. I found the chlorine smell to be a bit strong, which was unfortunate, but the water warmed me up nicely and didn\u2019t lead to a quick chill. I thought it would be wonderful to come back and enjoy this relaxing water during the harsh winter months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although I visit Hokkaido a few times a year, I rarely make it up to the northern regions.
