Niseko Goshiki Onsen

Between Niseko Annupuri and Iwaonupuri, on a plateau 750 meters high, springs Niseko Goshiki Onsen. Because the water shifts from clear to milky white depending on the sunlight, it earned the name Goshiki, meaning five colors. In crisp air scented with sulfur, this remote spring offers thick water drawn straight from the source.

Highlights
