Akan Lake Hot Spring Resort
A hot spring resort on the shores of Lake Akan, famous for marimo. You can enjoy both Ainu culture and hot springs simultaneously.
Akan Lake Hot Spring is a hot spring resort spread along the southern shore of Lake Akan, where marimo—a Special Natural Monument—thrives. Hotels and ryokans lining the lakeside offer the pleasure of soaking in hot springs while gazing at Lake Akan. The hot spring town features an Ainu Kotan (Ainu village) with traditional woodcarving souvenir shops and Ainu restaurants. At night, the traditional Ainu dance 'Iomante Fire Festival' is performed—a mystical performance illuminated by firelight that is a must-see. Observation of marimo by sightseeing boat is also popular.
