My family and I experienced Chippubetsu Onsen Chip Yu & Yu for the first time on January 1, 2024, marking my 797th day in Japan as an ALT under the JET Programme. Although we had visited Chippubetsu several times before as part of our Hokkaido 179 travel goal, our previous trips were always brief, leaving us without the chance to try the onsen. During one peaceful winter weekend, we finally decided to soak in its warmth—and were pleasantly surprised by how wonderful the baths were. It was a truly relaxing experience, and we look forward to visiting again in the future.
