Heaven in the white snow, Numata, Hokkaido!

By Kazu 
Approximately 2 hour car-drive from Sapporo City
to Numata Town is worthwhile. From Asahikawa, it takes less than 1 hour to this heaven HOROSHIN ONSEN (hot spring spa) , Numata.
High quality rice crop is produced in Numata and adjacent city and town such as Fukagawa City, Takikawa City, Chippubetsu Town, Hokuryu Town, Uryu Town and Moseushi in SORACHI sub-prefectural area.


  

 Different from the central mountainous area in Hokkaido, middle-size mountains with gentle ascents are around these blessed area.
Nowadays, the farmers in these areas are vexed by wild deers ranging and increasing over Hokkaido Island.
Hokkaido Government and each municipalities are struggling with this matter but even the state-of-the-art technology cant fend off this creature.
Let's forget this matter for a while.

 You can find HOROSHIN ONSEN near the camping site of Numata Town. Many visitors want enjoy the therapeutic bath and superb cuisine in this facility.
  In summer, many many light-emitting insects are flying around the river and the museum adjacent to this hotel.
  Of course,  in winter, it is impossible to find the insects flying around this hotel, but the quality of the meals and the hot spring bath will satisfy you all. 

 
From the outside bath, a small river can be seen as well as light-emitting insects in summer. In winter?
It's very calm and just the sound of water flow will soothe the pain of your body and mind.

 
Enough space for adults and families in the room.
If you jog around the hotel, sleeping bears may wake up and greet you with open arms;)
Putting aside the fairy-tale, joggig around this hotel is so comfortable even in winter.



Some cottages are near the hotel.



The road to the dam site from the hotel.



 

 

Would you try cocooning in the hotel in winter?
     I will visit and stay on January 28(Sat.), 2012 with my wife. I wish I could invite the Arabian Dinasty to this area because we could share the same kinds of mentality like in the desert.

   What do you think about it my friend Hamad?
