While the indoor bath is nice, I recommend the outdoor bath, which overlooks the river. It\u2019s fascinating to see the green-brown mineral components sticking to the rocks, creating a white-brown appearance. The onsen water temperature is 51.7 degrees Celsius, and the onsen water is sodium, magnesium, calcium sulfate, and chloride hot spring, with a total mineral content of 4166 mg\/kg. This hot spring is great for warming up and is conveniently located for anyone hiking Mount Tokachi or the Daisetsuzan mountain range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 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\/2023\/10\/P8169216.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"2844\" data-src=\"https:\/\/onsen.thmiyake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/P8169216-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2844 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/onsen.thmiyake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/P8169216-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onsen.thmiyake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/P8169216-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onsen.thmiyake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/P8169216-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onsen.thmiyake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/P8169216.jpg 1440w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">The stunning view seems almost unnatural<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my goals was to see the &#8220;Shirahige no Taki,&#8221; which has a drop of about 30 meters.
