Roadside Station Shikabe Kanketsusen Park — Attraction in Shikabe

During our Oshima Subprefecture road trip, we made a stop at Roadside Station Shikabe Geyser Park, and it was a delightful experience!

One of the highlights of the park is the ashiyu (foot bath), where you can soak your feet in warm, soothing water while enjoying the relaxing surroundings. The geyser is another must-see attraction. It erupts at regular intervals, providing a fascinating display of nature's power.

Inside the station, there are plenty of souvenirs like kombu and mentaiko for sale, ranging from local delicacies to unique handcrafted items, making it a great spot to pick up memorable gifts. We couldn’t resist trying the sesame soft cream, which was rich, creamy, and full of flavor—a perfect treat after exploring the area.

This roadside station is a fantastic pit stop for travelers exploring Oshima, offering a mix of relaxation, natural wonders, and delicious...

It is a service area where you can buy many local foods and enjoy a geyser. I visited twice for my family. The food never disappointed me. Hot and cold teas and water are free. If you want to see only the geyser, you can see it upon the hill behind this station. You should pay 300 yen or less per person depending on the age. In the geyser park, there is a foot bath where you can rest your foot and enjoy the geyser. To my knowledge, it is the only geyser close to Hakodate. I, however, still wonder if it is worth paying 300...

Great natural geyser. My family enjoyed soaking their feet in the hot spring water while watching the geyser come to life approximately every 8 to 10 minutes. There is also a nice restaurant on-site. You also have the option of purchasing fresh oysters at the on-site shop and then steaming the oysters outdoors on natural steam vents.

This place is a must see if you are...
