Ranked by what you are after
We score every onsen the same way — the view from the water, the water itself, comfort, how far it sits from a town, and how easy it is to reach — then weight those differently depending on what you want.
Best for the view
What you can see from the water.
Easiest to reach
Get there and back without renting a car.
Best for a whole day
Somewhere you can stay put from morning to night.
Every onsen we have checked in Hokkaido
