Teshio Onsen Yubae details

According to the official website of Teshio Onsen Yubae, the hot spring has been known since ancient times, and it was officially designated as a hot spring in 1924. As for the establishment of the Teshio Onsen Yubae resort itself, I was still looking for a specific date for when it was built.

However, based on records, it appears that the Teshio Onsen Yubae's hotel was extensively renovated in April 2018. It was transformed into a modern hotel to promote tourism in Teshio. It currently offers single, double, twin, and Japanese-style guest rooms that can accommodate various visitors, from business travelers to tourists. In addition, the hotel now has a conference room for small group meetings and a multipurpose space that can hold an event for many people.

One of the highlights of the newly renovated hotel is its guest lounge. It's open 24 hours a day and is one of the best places in the hotel to view the sunset over the Sea of Japan. It is also a popular place for visitors who often stay after taking a dip in the onsen.

On the subject of onsen. Teshio Onsen Yubae has both Japanese and Western hot springs. For those with little children, there is also a separate family bath. The good thing about this place is that you can try out the onsen without reservation or without booking a room. You can read about the rates below.

What sets Teshio Onsen Yubae's hot spring apart from the other hot springs in the prefecture is its rare dark brown hot spring with an overpowering ammonia scent. However, it is said that it can make one’s skin beautiful and youthful looking. Now it answers why most of the locals in Teshio look younger.

Team Nicerio visits Teshio Onsen Yubae




My family and I visited the Teshio History Museum for the first time last August 12, 2022, which was my 41st week here in Japan as an ALT under the JET Programme. It was one of the destinations that we visited on the 1st day of our 5-day Drive Up North Road Trip. Although we didn't stay in the hotel as we were camping at the nearby Kagaminuma Seaside Park, we could try its famed onsen. To be honest with you, my wife and I had mixed reactions to our onsen experience. One of us was not that pleased with the strong sulfuric smell of the onsen but one of us enjoyed it a lot. Regardless, Teshio Onsen Yubae's onsen is something that you should try when you are in town.

    The Japanese onsen culture is something that I really wanted to experience when I visit Japan in the future.

First Timer's Guide to Collecting Goshuin

Image
Japan has always been the best country when it comes to souvenirs. Each city prides itself on its own product which is perfectly suited for the different tastes of tourists. As a travel blogger whose interest is mostly culture and history, I'm naturally inclined to buy souvenirs that remind me of the rich history and culture of the places that I have visited. Oftentimes, I am left with no other option but to buy refrigerator magnets, key chains, and pins. However, during my last visit to Japan, I discovered and got a unique souvenir that I think you'd also love to take home (and bring back to Japan next time you visit). This souvenir would surely remind you of Japan's cultural, religious, and historic side... this souvenir is none other than a goshuin collection. First Timer's Guide to Collecting Goshuin A goshuin is described as a temple or shrine stamp/seal that is written by a temple priest called a kannushi in a special notebook called goshuincho which tran
