Good Onsen with multiple tubs and one sauna as well. Friendly staff and clean facilities. A must try if you’re in the area.

Nice natural Onsen, located 1 hour by bus from Asahikawa. Small towel rental is 100 yen.

Clean. Light. ¥500.

A hidden-gem day bathing facility in Toma I used Toma's publicly operated day bathing facility, 「ヘルシーシャトー」. It is not a natural hot spring, but its distinctive feature is water using Futamata radium mineral stones. The facility is showing its age, but it is well equipped with a sauna, waterfall shower, and jet bath, offering good value. The reception staff were polite, making the visit pleasant. Even visitors from outside the town can smoothly purchase tickets at the ticket machine, and JAF members receive a 10% discount. Having WiFi throughout is a welcome point too. The rest areas, with sofas and a large hall, are spacious, so you can relax after bathing. Massage chairs were also available. The lack of an outdoor bath is unfortunate, but considering the price, facilities, and staff quality together, this is a valuable facility in the area.

This information is from my visit to 「当麻ヘルシーシャトー」 at 20251113(Thursday)20:30. I came here while looking for a hot spring near Toma Station and the roadside station. Strictly speaking, it is not a natural hot spring but an artificial one using calcareous deposits from Futamata Radium Onsen. It is part of the town's health and welfare facility opened in 1995, and also has a restaurant and a Japanese-style rest room. Although the building is 30 years old and has not undergone major renovations, it did not feel particularly old and was clean. Open 10-22 (last admission 21), adults 700円 (cash only), JAF discount available. Shoe lockers and changing-room lockers are free (no coins needed). Body soap, shampoo with conditioner, and hair dryers are provided; the soap is a budget Phoenix product, and there are 2 Panasonic Ionity hair dryers, plus a Tanita scale, an Omron blood pressure monitor, a cold-water dispenser, and ceiling fans. The baths are indoors only, with 14 mixer taps with showers, a main bath at 40℃, a low-temperature bath at 38℃, a high-temperature bath at 42℃, a jet bath for 4 people, 1 double waterfall shower, a cold bath at 17℃, a dry sauna (stone type, 2 tiers, 10 people), and 5 chairs in the relaxation area. Inside there is a rest area with sofas and a raised tatami seating and dining area. I visited late this time and food service had already ended, but it was fairly busy with local residents. Next time I would like to try the food too.
