Hi
We are considering a holiday in Niseko in December. Are there any communal Onsens in this area.
Thanks

Hi Brian,

There are c couple of mixed baths in Niseko and around. This page - www.niseko.info/onsen.htm - has lots of information on konyoku (混浴), mixed baths.

The following baths seems to be co-ed :

ロッジチセハウス - http://www.mars.dti.ne.jp/~tun9/chise.htm
五色温泉
グランドホテル - www.niseko-grand.com

This last choice is probably the best, and surely the largest outside bath, in the Niseko Grand Hotel.

I've been to that onsen when I was living in Hokkaido as it is run by my then Hokkaido University Sensei's wife. The place is really nice and there is plenty of hiking opportunities around. I stayed overnight there, in a ryokan style room with my sensei's students, and we also enjoyed a nice meal. However I'm not sure the "sleeping overnight" option is available to every body. It's more like a mountain hut style house. But I'm not sure they're doing it anymore.

Anyway, the rotenburo on the outside is nice, and your skin will remember it.
