Numerous natural hot springs gush out along the lakeshore, so you can enjoy hot springs in open-air baths and saunas that make the most of nature, as well as in large hotels. In summer you can fully enjoy water sports such as camping, canoeing, and sailing. Across the great outdoors of Teshikaga you can also enjoy activities like horseback riding, golf, fishing, cycling, and dairy farm experiences.

Kashogyōen, a Okujozankei Onsen Kasho Gyoen seasonal culinary inn, opened in 1989 and has been loved by many guests for a long time. In June 2022 Reiwa 4, the restaurant and lobby were expanded and reopened facing the pond. The entrance where the hotel welcomes guests is a garden surrounded by trees and plants such as todomatsu, maple, and maple, and you can enjoy an extraordinary space just by stepping inside. Kamatsu Gyoen has a total of 23 guest rooms. It is a Japanese suite room with a "forest observation bath" in all rooms. From the windows of the rooms and the observation bath, you can see the beautiful scenery of the four seasons, and it is a luxurious space surrounded by nature. The rooms at "Kurenai" and "Ai" also have a terrace. The hot spring that Kamatsu Gyoen is proud of is a hydrogen carbonate spring, which is the hot spring quality of the three great beauties, and you will feel your skin become smooth. Please enjoy it slowly while enjoying the ancient forest that spreads all over the window. In addition, the spa and treatment salon "Biyute / Bi-You-te" offers various courses such as facial décolleté treatment, body treatment, and foot hand treatment. For those who want to relax and heal their fatigue in their room, we recommend Thai traditional massage. Massage and loosen your body warmed in the hot spring in your room with a slow rhythm. There is no need to move or change clothes, so you can spend a relaxing time both physically and mentally. The restaurant was renovated and expanded in early summer 2022. Hokkaido local ingredients are made into an impressive dish by the hands of an Italian chef. The sommelier will also suggest champagne, red and white wines to match your meal.
