Winter in Hokkaido is equivalent to the awe-inspiring hot springs you\u2019ll find in many places including the highway of Shikabe. <\/span><\/p>\n

Shikabe Kanketsusen Park<\/strong> is a unique tourist attraction boasting a geyser park, a hot spring area, and an observation deck overlooking Mt. Komagatake and Funkawan Bay.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just before entering the park, you will find the Hot Steaming Center and BBQ Corner where guests may use the steamers heated by the natural hot spring in cooking their foods.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Across this is the Product Center where you\u2019ll find various fresh seafood, delicatessen, souvenirs, and the Fisherwomen\u2019s Food Hall where you can enjoy meals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,<\/span> the main highlight is the park tucked behind the product center. It opens up to a small museum-like hallway or cave tunnel that offers various learning information about geysers. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Geysers are unique surfaces on Earth, similar to a small volcano, that discharges water with steam every few minutes. The geer gushes about 15 meters high of water with over 100\u00b0c.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The hallway then opens up to a Japanese garden, where you\u2019ll find the geyser itself, the hot spring area and the Chobo-no-Yakata or observation deck where you can get an up-close look of the geyser. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just across the geyser is the hot spring area, a popular foot bath that is said to have healing properties such as nerves, muscles, joint pains, and sprains to name a few.<\/span><\/p>\n
