About the water
Niseko Onsenkyo is not one spring but a scatter of them around the mountains. Close to the volcano, at Goshiki and Yumoto, the water is a milky sulfur spring rich in hydrogen sulfide; Yumoto also has a brown iron bath and a mud bath. Down the slope at Konbu and at Niseko Station the water turns clear and gentle, a simple or sodium-chloride spring. It is a textbook case of the same mountain water becoming different springs depending on the rock it passes through. The tourism association counts seven of Japan's ten spring types here.

Niseko Goshiki Onsen
In the saddle between Mt Annupuri and Mt Iwaonupuri (Yusato, Rankoshi) A high mountain spring with one inn and a mountain hut, at the trailhead for Iwaonupuri. Its sulfurous open-air baths face the steaming volcano.
The most volcanic of all Niseko's baths.[1]
Yukichichibu and Oyunuma at Niseko Yumoto Onsen
680 Yusato, Rankoshi, at the foot of Mt Chisenupuri A town-run day-use bathhouse beside Oyunuma, a steaming hot pond. Seven open-air tubs are fed by a sulfur spring and an iron spring, and the women's side has a mud bath. 900 yen.
Compare a milky sulfur bath and a brown iron bath under one roof.[2]

Kiranoyu, the bath at Niseko Station

The story
A scattered spa
Niseko Onsenkyo is the collective name for springs scattered around the Niseko range: Goshiki, Yumoto, Higashiyama, Konbu, Annupuri, Ekimae, Konbugawa and Kogane, with Hirafu and Kutchan now often added. Because the area is wide and many are one-inn springs, the count varies depending on who is describing it. It was designated a National Recuperation Hot Spring Area on 1 November 1958.[1]
Springs lost and kept
Mountain springs are tested by heavy snow. Yakushi Onsen collapsed under snow and closed in May 2014, and the two inns at Niimi Onsen were demolished in 2020. Meanwhile the towns of Rankoshi and Niseko run public day baths at Yumoto (Yukichichibu) and at the station (Kiranoyu), keeping the gateways of the spa open.[1][2][4]
Skiing and bathing
From December to March Niseko fills with skiers from around the world chasing its powder snow. Each ski area on the flanks of Annupuri has its own hot spring, so after a day on the slopes you can choose between milky sulfur water and a clear simple spring — the local luxury.[3]

Start at Niseko Station with the clear simple spring at Kiranoyu, pick up an Onsen Pass, and head uphill. A taxi takes you to Yukichichibu at Yumoto; look at the steaming Oyunuma pond, then compare sulfur and iron water in the seven open-air tubs. In summer carry on to Goshiki and walk up Iwaonupuri.
