Golf with a soak in Hokkaido's rare moor onsen
Hokkaido Poroto Golf Club lies in the countryside of Shiraoi on Hokkaido's Pacific coast, about 45 minutes by car from New Chitose Airport. Opened in 1995 to a design by Seizo Tomizawa, the 18-hole, par-72 course reaches 7,098 yards across gently hilly ground. The outward nine calls for strategic thinking, while the inward nine delivers a run of bold, demanding holes where club selection decides your score. Along the way, views open to the Pacific Ocean, the volcanic dome of Mt. Tarumae and Lake Poroto.
A dynamic round between volcano and sea, finished in a free-flowing moor hot spring.
The real treat comes after the round: the clubhouse bath is filled with free-flowing moor onsen, a soft, slightly amber hot spring recognized as Hokkaido Heritage and rare on the island. Shiraoi itself is home to Upopoy, the national museum and park dedicated to Ainu culture, right on the shores of Lake Poroto, and Noboribetsu's steaming Hell Valley and onsen town are about 30 minutes away. Play is self-service from riding carts, making it an easy addition to a southern Hokkaido road trip.
