Unbelievable Asahikawa Onsen: Yukomansou's Asahidake Secret Revealed!
Okay, deep breath. Let's dive headfirst into the steaming, glorious, slightly overwhelming world of Unbelievable Asahikawa Onsen: Yukomansou's Asahidake Secret Revealed! This isn’t gonna be some dry, clinical review, folks. This is me spilling the beans (and maybe a little bathwater) on a truly unique experience. Buckle up, because we’re going on a journey!
First Impressions & The Accessibility Angle (Because, Let's Be Real, It Matters)
Okay, I’m not gonna lie, getting to Yukomansou can be a bit of an adventure in itself. (Think snowy roads, mountain passes… epic, but plan accordingly!) They do offer airport transfer, bless their hearts, and the car park [free of charge] is a lifesaver if you're brave enough to drive yourself because the scenery is insane. Now, I didn’t personally test out the Facilities for disabled guests, but the website indicates they're trying. Seeing as it's a mountain onsen, it is going to be a challenge. The elevator is present, which is a good start.
Internet, Glorious Internet (and the Wi-Fi Shenanigans)
THANK GOODNESS for Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Seriously. Because, let's be real, after a long day of… whatever you’re doing onsen-ing, sometimes you just need to scroll through Instagram and bore your friends with your adventures. The Internet access – Wi-Fi is available of course. (They also have Internet [LAN] in the rooms, for those of you who still believe in wired connections. I admire your commitment!) And the Wi-Fi in public areas is pretty solid too.
The Rooms: Your Personal Sanctuary (Or Where You Hide From Reality)
Right, the rooms. They're… well, they're Japanese. Minimalist, clean, with all the essentials. You get a Coffee/tea maker, which is crucial. I'm a sucker for complimentary tea (it's the little things, people!), and the free bottled water is a nice touch. The bathrobes, slippers, and a daily housekeeping are non-negotiable for any truly relaxing onsen stay.. The blackout curtains are your best friend if you want to sleep past sunrise (which, trust me, you will). I was particularly thankful for the In-room safe box to protect all my important things (like my phone with all my pictures).
The "Ways to Relax" Department: Living. My. Best. Life.
Okay, this is where Yukomansou truly shines. Let’s start with the obvious: the sauna and spa/sauna. Oh. My. God. These are not just saunas; they're portals to other worlds. Seriously. The heat, the steam, the soft wood… pure bliss. Massages? Yes, please! I got one and, for a blissful hour, I was nothing but warm muscles and zen. I even braved the foot bath! The Pool with a view is pretty amazing, especially at sunset.
Food, Glorious Food! (And My Personal Ramen Obsession)
Behold the restaurants! There's a Buffet in restaurant, which is great for a quick bite. I strongly advise getting the Asian breakfast. The Asian cuisine in restaurant is absolutely worth it. But the real star, in my humble opinion, is that ramen. I ate ramen every day. No regrets. Absolutely no regrets. There are also Restaurants, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, and a Snack bar. Poolside bar? Yes. I feel like the A la carte in restaurant is the way to go but I had so much ramen, I don't know. The Bottle of water is available. The Soup in restaurant is a must.
Cleanliness & Safety: Did I Feel Safe? (Mostly!)
Okay, so they’re taking it seriously. I saw Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, and the staff seemed to be adhering to protocol. I appreciated the Safe dining setup. There's CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property. It felt… safe. They have Anti-viral cleaning products, Rooms sanitized between stays, Sterilizing equipment, and Staff trained in safety protocol.
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things that Make a Big Difference
They offer a Concierge, a Laundry service, and Daily housekeeping. The Currency exchange is handy, and there's a Gift/souvenir shop (because you will want to bring something back home). They provide Invoice provided, Invoice provided, Cash withdrawal and a Safety deposit boxes. There's a Business facilities, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meeting stationery, and Seminars.
For the Kids: Family Fun? (Maybe?)
I didn't have kids with me, but they do have Babysitting service and Kids meal. It feels somewhat family-friendly, but I'd investigate it before taking the little ones.
Getting Around: Beyond the Onsen
The car park [on-site] is fantastic if you have a car. They also offer a Taxi service. They have a Bicycle parking.
Here’s the REAL deal, folks… The "Unbelievable" Experience: The Onsen Itself
Now, to the heart of the matter: the onsen. This isn’t just a hot spring; it's a religious experience. The water is divine, the views from the outdoor baths are breathtaking, the sheer silence is deafening (in a good way!). Seriously, picture this: you’re outdoors, snow falling gently, steam rising from the hot water, and you’re just… existing. It's the kind of thing that melts away all your stress, all your worries, all your… well, everything. I probably stayed in the water way too long each time, my skin turning prune-y. But that’s part of the magic. It is definitely the main reason to go.
My Quirky Observations & Imperfections (Because, You Know, Real Life)
Okay, so the whole place is amazing. It's near perfection, but there were a couple of things. Getting around with the limited mobility could be tricky. Also, the soundproofing in the rooms could be better. I heard my neighbor snoring. It's a small price to pay for onsen bliss. And, um, the Wi-Fi can be a bit… spotty at times. But really? That’s it.
The Verdict: Should You Go? (Absolutely!)
Look, if you’re looking for an authentic, relaxing, and (dare I say) spiritual experience, Unbelievable Asahikawa Onsen: Yukomansou's Asahidake Secret Revealed! should be at the top of your list. It's not just a hotel; it's an escape. It's a chance to disconnect, recharge, and rediscover what's truly important.

The (Completely Unreliable) Plan: Asahidake Onsen, Chaos Edition
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Onsen Quest (AKA, Finding My Damn Luggage)
- Morning (Ishikawa Airport, Tokyo): Okay, so far, so… chaotic. Landed. Jet lagged. Bag vanished. Literally, poof. Gone. Of course. My best hiking boots? Gone. My favorite socks? Gone. My sanity? Starting to feel fragile. The airport staff are all smiles, but… Japanese smiles can be deceptively… efficient. They probably already know where my bag is. Probably.
- Afternoon (Tokyo Train Station… eventually Asahikawa): Found my Japanese train ticket. Pretty sure I looked like a fish out of water, flapping around the station and trying to decipher Kanji. I'm not sure what's worse: the fact that I can't read it, or the fact that everyone around me can. The bullet train is amazing though, I gotta give it that. So smooth. But… how many hours until a hot spring soak? I’m starting to feel like a crumpled piece of paper that's been through a washing machine.
- Evening (Asahikawa Station & Shuttle to Yukomansou): Arrived at Asahikawa! Felt an immediate wave of, I don't know, relief? Exhilaration? Maybe just a hallucination brought on by the lack of sleep and the impending onsen. Shuttle to Yukomansou. The driver was a little… quiet? More like a ninja, effortlessly navigating the snowy roads. Finally, the promise of a hot spring! Check-in. More smiles. I swear, their teeth are blinding me. And… still no luggage. I need to report it again. Sigh. Alright then. Let's get this onsen party started and pray to the gods of missing baggage.
- Dinner (Yukomansou): Dinner was… an experience. An amazing experience. I went for the Kaiseki meal. Holy moly. Seriously, I could have spent an hour just admiring the artistic presentation of the food. The tofu was silk, the fish melted in my mouth, and that wagyu beef… don't even get me started. Pure heaven. Totally redeemed the baggage disaster. And the sake! Oh, the sake…
Day 2: Asahidake Ropeway, Sulfur Clouds, and the (Still Elusive) Luggage
- Morning (Asahidake Ropeway Prep): Woke up! Okay, sort of woke up. Still fighting the jet lag. Today: Asahidake Ropeway to the top of the mountain. Supposedly the best views around. I hope it's worth it because, let's be honest, getting out of bed this morning felt like scaling Everest.
- Late Morning (Asahidake Ropeway - Up, Up, and Away!): The ropeway! Wow! The views were, well, breathtaking. And the snow! Everywhere! I mean, I’m from a place that sees snow, but this… this is another level. It got cold. Really, really cold. Almost too cold. Wind in my face. I went to the top. It was beautiful, but I could only stay up there for a short period before feeling that I needed a warm beverage.
- Afternoon (Onsen Time… Again!): Back to the onsen! And this time I'm diving in headfirst. The outdoor bath! Pure bliss. The air… crisp, the water… warm. The feeling of my muscles melting away… priceless. I practically lived in that onsen for the next few hours. Seriously. I may have forgotten to even eat lunch in that time. I’m pretty sure I turned into a prune, but a very happy, relaxed prune.
- Late Afternoon (Luggage Update…): I went to the front desk AGAIN. "Any news?" I asked the lovely lady with the blindingly pretty smile. Nope. Still missing. The sinking feeling is getting heavier with each passing hour. I’m starting to get a little… agitated.
- Evening (Dinner, and a Potential Breakdown): Another exquisite Kaiseki meal. I should feel grateful, and I am, but the absence of my luggage is starting to cast a shadow over everything. The taste of the food just… became less enjoyable. I'm fighting back tears. I need to go for a soak again.
Day 3: Lost Luggage, Last Soaks, and the Long Road Back… with Deep Regret
- Morning (One Last Onsen and the Bitter Truth): One last soak in the morning before I check out. I really don't want to leave, but I have no choice. I’m pretty sure I could live in this onsen for the rest of my life.
- Late Morning (Check Out and the Empty Handed Departure): The staff was lovely as always, and I said my goodbyes. It was time to go. I have a weird mix of sadness and fatigue.
- Afternoon (Tokyo): Back on the bullet train to Tokyo to catch my flight home. I still didn't find my luggage. I have never felt so lost in my life.
- Evening (Homeward Bound and the Bitter Truth): Back home. Got my luggage. It was held in Japan. They never called me. It has been a week. I guess that's it…
Quirky Observations & Emotional Reactions:
- The snow really does crunch under your feet in the most satisfying way.
- I realized halfway through my trip that I was speaking solely through hand gestures.
- Those onsen mats are the most comfortable things I've ever sat on.
- The constant smiles will be a permanent mark on my memory.
- I’m pretty sure I’m in love with the onsen soap.
- I'm going to need therapy for the lost luggage.
- I will be back.
Final Thoughts:
So, there you have it. The messy, imperfect, and slightly disastrous trip to Asahidake Onsen. Was it perfect? Absolutely not. Was it worth it? Without a doubt. Even the luggage mishap became part of the story. Asahidake Onsen, you've stolen a piece of my soul. And I'll be back to get it back. And maybe, just maybe, find my hiking boots.
