Sounkyo is a hot spring resort town in the north of Daisetsuzan National Park. (Daisetsuzan is Hokkaido's largest national park.) It consist mountainous area of virtually unspoiled wilderness. (great landscapes, alpine plants, color leaves, wild animals,etc..) Sounkyo hostel is a short 7-min walk from trailhead, thus at a great location for mountain trekking. We will be happy helping you make trekking plans. Please consult with us at any time. Our retro buildings provide a great environment to heal you from the tiredness of your trip. It really is the most suitable place to make a plan of the mountain trekking. And after getting tired from trekking, we want to welcome back you warmly. We want to offer you a place to unwind, make a plans, talk to other travelers and share stories. We aim not only to provide a bed for the night, but also a space for the exchange of ideas, feeling, experiences and growth. Because that is what traveling is about.
I'm Yohei of the owner. I like bicycle trip and backpacker journey! And I want to hear the story of your trip!! Thank you very much for your help.
Hot springs are near by! (Just 30 seconds) Several of them open their baths to non-staying guests during daytime for an admission fee of typically less than 800yen. There is a convenience store at about 7 minutes on foot from the hostel that is open until 11PM.
