Tokachigawa Hot Spring Dai-ichi Hotel

Restaurant Komorebi and the Hoshu-an Japanese-style dining arcade

Dining for relaxation and the pursuit of excellence

Restaurant Komorebi is set quietly amidst the lush, green courtyard.

The round structure is lined with glass walls to allow the gentle sunlight to come through. The spacious restaurant has an open kitchen, a bar counter, and a large fireplace. We created a friendly space where cooks and customers can see each other.

The Hoshu-an Japanese-style dining arcade is a Japanese restaurant with shoji (paper sliding doors) and bamboo interiors that can be arranged into private rooms for a variety of different purposes. Please enjoy the dining experience in a soothing atmosphere of traditional Japan.

Yuraku public hot spring baths

Enjoy the moor hot springs, the water for beauty

Guests can soak in the hot springs in spacious, bright public baths with glass walls to experience the nearby wilderness of Tokachi.

Tokachigawa's moor hot springs are rich with organic botanical nutrients. These moor hot springs are known as hot water for beauty and regarded as a rare type of hot springs that are found only in two areas of the world. The amber-colored hot water readily permeates the skin, leaving the skin smooth and moist after soaking in the hot spring. The water of the moor hot springs is also known as a natural skin lotion.

As members of the hotel business in this region, one of our missions is to maximize recognition of the area's hot springs.

What's a "moor hot spring"?
Tokachigawa hot spring is on the Tokachi River in Otofuke Town, in the middle of the Tokachi Plains. The hot spring gushes up through a lignite layer composed of the remnants of reeds and other wild plants that have accumulated over the ages. The moor vegetation makes the water rich in organic components. The waters are milder and richer in natural moisturizers than ordinary hot springs, smoothening and moisturizing the skin and making Tokachigawa hot spring famous as a "hot spring for beauty."

The benefits of "moor hot spring" water
In addition to containing lignite and peat, which form over the ages from incompletely carbonized vegetation, the Tokachi Plains are widely distributed with porphyritic granite. The humic substances in lignite and peat smoothen and rejuvenate the skin. The porphyritic granite breaks down the minerals in the hot spring water. Since the Tokachigawa "moor" hot spring is rich in organic and mineral components from vegetation and rock, it acts as a moisturizer. The water is highly osmotic and gentle on the skin.

Reason for designation as a Hokkaido Heritage
Vegetable moor hot springs in Japan are far more rare than ordinary mineral hot springs. In 2004, Tokachigawa hot spring obtained Hokkaido Heritage designation, which is given to "tangible or intangible properties that should be passed down to future generations." It received this recognition ahead of many other hot springs in Hokkaido. Tokachi hot spring is even mentioned in old documents of the Meiji era (1868 - 1912), and it's known in Ainu legend as a "medicinal bath." Full-scale development of the hot spring began in the second quarter of the 20th century. It grew into a leading hot spring in eastern Hokkaido in the postwar years, now attracting some 60,000 tourists a year from within and beyond Hokkaido. Advanced eco-friendly measures, such as careful management of the hot spring water by the Council for Comprehensive Management of Tokachigawa Hot Spring, formed in 1989, have also been taken to protect the precious hot spring resource.
