About
Fureai Yuyukan is a small town bathhouse in Hakodate's former Toi area, on the east coast of Hokkaido's Oshima Peninsula, facing the Tsugaru Strait. Each side has three indoor tubs running from cool to hot, plus a sauna and a cold plunge; there's no open-air bath. The water is a simple alkaline spring, clear with just a hint of salt, and locals say it leaves the skin smooth, which is where the "beauty water" nickname now on the building comes from. The source itself runs on the cool side, so the water is warmed before it reaches the tubs. The bathhouse opened in 1994 and is still run under the city's operator system. An auto-campground, Maruzen Park Takeinoshima, sits directly behind it, which makes it a handy stop for anyone driving or hiking the Toi coast. Since April 2026 the building has carried a four-year naming-rights nickname, Maruzen Onsen Bijin no Yu (マルゼン温泉 美人の湯), though the bus stop out front and most locals still just call it Fureai Yuyukan. Besides the baths there's a rest room, a large tatami hall, two smaller tatami rooms and a small shop selling snacks and local produce; shampoo, soap and towels aren't provided at the baths and are sold there instead. It feels like a neighborhood bath rather than a tourist stop, quiet and unhurried.
