With onsen season upon us, we’ve specially selected five popular hot spring ryokans in Beitou for your reference.

● The Lisi Hotel Beitou
The Lisi Hotel Beitou is beloved by travelers not only for its proximity to the MRT station but also because it’s located at one of the highest points in Beitou, close to the source of the hot springs — the Dahuangzui area. The hotel offers both communal men’s and women’s baths and private onsen rooms. The communal baths are divided by bamboo screens and include hot spring pools, cold water pools, ice water pools, saunas, steam rooms, stone slab baths, and relaxation areas. For those who value privacy, there are eight individual onsen rooms, each with its own bathing and resting area, offering views of the surrounding mountain forests. The tranquil and cozy onsen atmosphere is not to be missed.
