The best time to go to Sukayu Onsen depends on whether you're seeking winter sports and snow or a more temperate experience for hiking and enjoying the autumn colours.


For those keen on experiencing a true winter wonderland and engaging in snow-related activities, late December to early March is ideal. During this period, Sukayu Onsen is blanketed in deep snow, transforming the area into a stunning, serene landscape superb for skiing and snowboarding on the nearby slopes of Mount Hakkoda. The onsen itself offers a unique warmth amidst the cold.


If you prefer hiking and enjoying the changing seasons, late September to early November offers spectacular autumn foliage. The surrounding Hakkoda Mountains become a canvas of vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, making it an excellent time for scenic walks and exploring the natural beauty around the onsen.
