The hotel is big too, with lots of kid-friendly activities (at least we saw them listed, but we didn't actually go check them out).
The tatami room was nice, with comfortable mattresses. We had a nice view of the river/gorge area from our room (1529).
We had a traditional Japanese dinner, with the yukatas provided by the hotel. Good dinner, with lots of variety.
However, the building is crowded and busy during high season due to the large number of family, tour-goers and employee trips.
If you come in early in the off-season when it doesn't mesh with the group, it's quiet and relaxing.
The sauna, which was renovated when the company changed and the facilities are now being renovated, was fantastic. We are still in the process of renovating the facilities one after another, so I am looking forward to the renovation.
We stayed in a renovated room, but most furniture are kept with the old ones. It was quite spacious, and with most amenities you would need. We enjoyed the Japanese dinner in the restaurant, some of the food items are quite good, such as the tofu and the dumpling.
There are more than one hot springs in the hotel. The hot spring located on the basement occupies two levels, with multiple pools. The outdoor pools provide abundance area and good enjoyment.
The hotel has a very big breakfast restaurant also located on the basement. It said it house 700 people at one time. It offers buffet style breakfast, with lots of items, both Japanese and Western. The restaurant has on one side very big windows so guests have a very good view of the trees and bushes nearby.
2. Hotel only provided 2 room keys for 3 adults, 1 is kept by my husband, and the 1 is kept by the others female, that means, the others two need to stay together, no matter in swimming pool, public bathtub, dining room, walk out for visiting, we need to do the same thing in the same time, otherwise can’t get into the room again.
3. There were no towels provided in the public bathtub, bring the in room towels to the bathtub, most ridiculous was, if you need the towels, you need to go down the reception lobby to ask for get a clean one.
4. The dining area was extremely huge, it can afford many visitors, but did the Hotel consider the numbers of food counter to provide? For a counter, you need to queue at least 10 minutes, in the dining coupon, it marked the entering time, and 90 minutes for dining.
5. I didn’t see any staff’s has a smiling face, the attitude is quite bad.
We were really looking forward to this inn, but the room was noticeably dusty, the carpet was dirty, and the wallpaper was peeling off, so we felt uncomfortable and disappointed even though it was our last stay. However, the lobby is very luxurious. The contrast is amazing.
Breakfast and dinner were buffets with a wide variety of food, but there was nothing to eat, so we wondered why there was nothing we wanted to eat.
The only good thing about the pool was that our children enjoyed it. Without the pool, this inn would not be worth the cost.
It made us realize just how wonderful the hotels and inns we had stayed at up until now had been.
Despite the hotel size, it desperately needs renovation as the lobby, amenities and rooms were past their glory days. Fortunately, the service was good and the rooms were the biggest i have encountered in my various tours in different areas of Japan. If available, you may request for Japanese themed rooms for authentic nippon ambiance.
This hotel also offers onsen spa in the basement and uppermost floor with open area option. A must try especially during winter season.
The main restaurant offers buffet with plenty of food options. The three night stay is worth it. Overall, the experience is just satisfactory but if you’re in a big group this is the best choice.
it is worth the stay but not at the price of ¥35,000 (USD ($300) you'd get much more value, service and comfort for that price anywhere else in the world!
In saying this, we had a lovely stay there and enjoyed our time away from the city deep in the lush mountains of Hokkaido.
Room:
Large & spacious size, very clean, comfortable floor futon bed & pillows ever! Large windows that actually open which is nice.
Bathroom:
Small but good enough- the bath doesn't fit anyone larger than a small child!
Location:
Beautifully set in the mountains of Hokkaido- about 1 hour from Sapporo city. However the town is pretty much non existent with only a couple of convenience stores and couple of restaurants to choose from. It really is just a typical Japanese onset town with large hotels.
Wifi:
Excellent
Staff:
I was a bit bemused by the staff- though they offer good Japanese hospitality the staff were average and disappointing- Front Desk staff did NOT read any of the pre- booking requests and didn't even acknowledge them upon check in- lack of attention to detail and truthfully lack of care. The dining staff were all very young and made up mostly of interns or trainees studying hospitality - they were not very confident, didn't have big smiles and had no personality.
There was NO english speaking staff at all- and when we asked to speak to someone in English to share our concerns - no one could help us, nor did they seem to care that no-one could help us. I really wanted to provide feedback directly to the hotel and give them an opportunity to explain before I wrote a public review.
I understand we are in Japan and do not expect English, however when I booked the website clearly said we can make requests in English (which was obviously not the case)
I have written three emails to the hotel to ask for feedback and explanation as to some of my gripes, however one week later and have still NOT had any reply.
Breakfast/ Dinner:
The buffet breakfast is good (not great) and has a simple offering for western taste and Japanese dishes and some cereals.
Dinner buffet has a good array of low- medium quality food- the best part is that its a buffet and is all you can eat- which is what you'd expect for the quality. They did offer salty crab legs and good tasting cheap sushi along with a lot of fried food, salad bar and lovely treats for desert.
Other stuff:
Swimming pool was a lot of fun, water slides, water cannons, large area, a large lag that you can float around on large inflatable toys, great for kids and families and just overall a fun place to play!
ONSEN: There are a few onsens to choose from however all seemed quit small considering the large size of the hotel, the outdoor rooftop insane is tiny with no view and a big disappointment.
OTHE FACILITIES: the hotel has a few fun bars, and drinking spots with karaoke and private rooms you can book out. There is fun amusement area with electronic games and some action for the kids.
OVERALL- This is a very Japanese style hotel with very Japanese style (which suits perfectly for Japanese guests, however for western guest at that high price, we would expect a lot more)
if the hotel was priced at ¥15-20,000 per night, then Id have no complaints and feel I got value for money- however unfortunately at this high price I did not feel value for money at all.
Likes: Onsens on the first floor were totally lovely especially the outdoor ones best seen during the daytime. Also rooftop onsen but small and disappointing especially visited at night.
A pool with swimming costume rental next to onsen.
Love the free and fast wifi.
Love the yukatas provided and free snacks in the room.
Love the dinner buffet with free flow of crabs , beef , ice cream , cream puffs.
There is also a game area with table tennis for the kids.
Dislike: smoke in the corridor!
Only 1 soft pillow provided but the reception did send
Up more upon request.
Will return.
"It is a fair stay given the price. If you want to avoid the crowds , choose another hotel."Read full review
