Nukumori no Yado Furukawa

ぬくもりの宿 ふる川

Does Nukumori no Yado Furukawa allow tattoos? In a private bath

Private bath only

A country-house inn with a three-floor bath building behind it, a steam room fed by vapor off an 80°C spring, and a bath you can rent by the room for fifty minutes.

Furukawa publishes no tattoo rule for its three-floor bath building, and silence is not permission. It does publish a reservable bath: 2,200 yen for 50 minutes for the room, on the fifth and sixth floors, from noon to midnight and again from six to ten in the morning. Two of its dog-friendly rooms, 302 and 303, also come with hot spring water in the room.

Where it is

Sapporo STN Jotetsu Kappa Liner coach 56 Hakodate STN Tomakomai STN New Chitose Airport Hotel location
Jozankei Onsen Higashi 2-chome STN
Sapporo to Noboribetsu Onsen is about 1 h 45: the Suzuran, JR’s limited express (a faster train with fewer stops and a fee on top of the fare), then a Donan bus of 21 minutes up to the onsen terminal. Toyako Onsen is the Hokuto, the limited express to Hakodate, as far as Toya, then a Donan bus of 24 minutes around the lake, about 2 h 20 in all. Niseko is about 3 h 25 by way of Otaru and Kutchan, or a direct highway coach for less money. Jozankei has no railway: the Jotetsu Kappa Liner runs there from Sapporo Station in 56 minutes and is booked in advance.

What happens when you arrive

Skip the shared baths and reserve the private one the way this page describes. Once the door is closed, the bath is yours.

How we know

Confirmed from official site (the inn’s own onsen page, under 貸切風呂)

Read on: yado-furu.com/spa/

Best for: A reservable bath available from noon, including the morning after

The private bath opens at noon and runs to midnight, then again 06:00–10:00, so it can be used on a check-out morning. Separately, Oku-no-yu “Yu-meimi” is a 500 yen meditation bath in the basement with a steam room fed by 80°C spring vapor; children are asked not to use it. Rooms 302 and 303 are dog-friendly rooms with hot spring water in them.
