Sounkyo Onsen is a famous hot spring resort in the heart of Hokkaido’s Daisetsuzan National Park. The onsen town is in the Sounkyo Gorge, which is famous for its steep and rugged terrain and beautiful natural beauty. It’s especially beautiful during autumn foliage season and when frozen waterfalls make a winter wonderland.
Sounkyo is a gateway to various outdoor activities, including hiking in summer and skiing or snowshoeing in winter. The nearby Kurodake Ropeway provides access to higher elevations, offering panoramic views of the park.
