凌雲閣(Ryounkaku)

Located at the top of Mount Tokachi, Ryounkaku offered breathtaking views of the mountain range and snowy backcountry landscape when we visited in February. An easy 45 min drive from Furano, there is ample free parking outside the onsen building or at the adjacent public car park.

 We made a day visit to Ryounkaku and were able to rent towels which was super convenient. There is an old world charm to the onsen so expect rustic facilities. The female bath was tired looking due to years of staining from the copper coloured mineral onsen waters, but was adequately clean and tidy with full bath amenities provided. 

 What made our visit really special was the outdoor onsen which we got to enjoy all to ourselves as the only visitors at the time. The view of the mountains was nothing short of spectacular, with the back of the pool set into a small underhang of rocks which made us feel like we were bathing in a cave. Given how cold it was outdoors the water temperature was fairly tepid, but the views kept us there! We were thankful for the experience as we had read reviews that the outdoor onsens are sometimes closed due to weather conditions. 

 After our bath we retreated to a tatami room set aside for day visitors to enjoy some tea and to continue to soak in more of the views before leaving.

因為沒有廁所的房間很多，所以訂了12榻榻米的帶廁所的日式房。不過check-in時免費升級的客房還是比較驚喜的，而且是剛裝修完，官網上沒登入的很棒的套房。如果說有什麼不滿意的話，那就是城市一側的景色，而不是可以欣賞秋葉的山一側（不過夕陽很美）。儘管房間很棒，但設施很少。溫泉白天因一日遊的登山客而熱鬧非凡，讓人難受，但以絕景而廣受歡迎的露天浴池才是重頭戲。小心毛巾會被染色。飯菜不算豪華，但如果把它想像成山里的飯菜，一對年長的夫婦也能吃飽。另外，大雪之藏的300ml本釀造、純米、純米吟釀的價格都是800日元，是不是很奇怪？ ！溫泉和客房都很滿意，是最好的CP之旅。

超級未開發的紅棕色溫泉 一直想去的溫泉終於找到了雲海是我房間裡最好的景色，我沒有吃飯，但是我的妻子...... 一個很好的旅館很難生存，所以我希望。
