The Kanko Hotel is located only a 5min walk from the centre of the village of Sounkyo. Driving into Sounkyo you will see it on your right hand side, just before the bridge. Stepping into this hotel is like taking a time capsule back to the 70s or 80s!! The carpets and walls are covered in psychadelic patterns, while the... More

I joined a Hokkaido tour. We stayed in this hotel on the 3rd night of a 4-day-trip. I've learned that this hotel takes a lot of big tour groups, who are loud and annoying~ Their homepage is not fancy either. So I didn't expect too much. But after arriving, I think it is very good. The room is big, elegant... More

We stayed here as part of our tour of Eastern Hokkaido. We had a Japanese style room in the annex, overlooking the creek. It had a luxurious bathroom and an ante-room. It was the nicest room of our two week stay in Japan. Staff had limited English, but a helpful "guide sheet" made our stay easy. The hotel has a... More

Although the appearance of the hotel seems less appealing than newer hotels in the area, it is a good middle class ‘onsen’ hotel. We stayed in the main building ‘Saika’ in August 2009 with two small children. The room was clean, equipped with private bathtub and ‘washlet’-type toilet, with a nice view of the forest. (We were given a room... More
