“Kamui” is the Ainu word for the spiritual beings that dwell in nature and animals, and in particular “the kamui of water” represents the spiritual presence in water, symbolizing the region’s abundant water blessings and its relationship with people.
The Kamui of Water Tourism Area lets you experience a land shaped by a water deity, where wetlands, lakes, volcanoes, and Ainu culture weave together the story of the earth.
At the Kushiro Wetland, Japan’s largest wetland, you can enjoy vast scenery that is home to the specially designated natural monument, the red-crowned crane, and observe seasonal nature along boardwalks and trails.
Lake Akan is known as the only place in the world with large spherical colonies of marimo, and through facilities that teach marimo ecology, Lake Akan Onsen, and Lake Akan Ainu Kotan you can encounter Ainu culture that has been passed down alongside the water.
At Lake Mashu, visitors are greeted by the mysteriously deep blue water called “Mashu Blue” and a caldera lake that boasts some of the world’s highest water clarity.
Nearby at Lake Kussharo and Mt. Io, you can also see the dynamic natural expressions created by volcano and water, such as lakeside hot springs and steam vents.
We warmly present the stories of water, land, and culture that you can only encounter in the Kamui of Water Tourism Area.

This is an announcement from Kawayu Onsen Hotel Kitafukurou.
~Yuagaricha Saryo~
[Nekoban Engawa] Open for one day only♨!!
Yuagaricha Saryo
Here’s a message from Nekoban Engawa. 😊📨
For someone like me who loves hot springs and lakes,
Teshikaga Town is one of my relaxation areas.
This time, we will be having a POP-UP for the first time at
Kawayu Onsen Hotel Kitafukurou
@kitafukurou.kawayu
The quality of the hot spring, along with the open-air baths, is wonderful,
making it one of my favorite hot springs.
We will be using the lobby with a fantastic view of the windows
to run a day cafe.
After soaking, I would be delighted if you could stop by for a casual tea.❀
The menu may change, but
we will be serving the classic Nekoban dish, sesame tofu & special Chinese rice dumplings.
New on the menu! Taiwanese tea plum, which is salted plums soaked in oolong tea and honey, is recommended as a summer snack.
As for sweets, I wonder whether it will be water yokan or something else...
Please look forward to the menu on the day!♡
Rumor has it that soft serve ice cream will be appearing soon at Kitafukurou,
so I’m looking forward to that as well!
What kind of scenery will we encounter at the end of July?🌿
I hope you enjoy a relaxing time at your leisure.
On the day, I hope the owner can enjoy it casually too. (^^)
We are looking forward to seeing everyone!♨
[Date]
Friday, July 31st
11:30 AM - 4:00 PM (Last Order 3:30 PM)
[Location] Kawayu Onsen Hotel Kitafukurou
