Nice rustic onsen
Dated hotel, as are all the hotels in the area, but very well maintained. Staff were all superb and the food service was very efficient and tasty. Not Michelin starred, but neither is the cost.

The hotel is near the Hells Valley so it is accesible. The property needs refurbishment critically so guests can have a better experience. The room is clean but the mildew smell is unbearable. It is a quiet location which makes it enjoyable.

The hotel is lovely! A bit dated but very well maintained. The included buffet dinner and breakfast were amazing with many choices of Japanese and Western food! Lovely rooftop onsen plus ground floor onsen. The area around the hotel is a quiet with many ships and restaurants closed but that allowed us to enjoy the hotel facilities.

The hotel aesthetic is wonderful, the rooms were spacious and clean, the food provided was wonderful and the hot springs were incredible. The location is slightly difficult to get to as a foreigner (I speak very little Japanese but can read a little bit) but once there it was an incredible experience. Easily one of the nicest locations and hotels I’ve stayed in.

Newly renovated room with comfortable beds and sheets. Dinner was buffet style and tasted decent. They do accommodate tourist groups so it could get noisy.

Highly recommended. Though its pretty far from Asahikawa and Furano but its worth the traveling. Great onsen pools, good buffet spread. Excellent customer service, from valet, front desk to restaurant. Highly recommended!

When we asked to switch to a non smoking room after discovering the room that was given reeked of cigarette smell, it was done pretty quickly. The dinner and breakfast buffets were great - we felt that there was always something that we wanted to eat or try on the both days we were there. The hotel itself was old, decor is dated. Onsen was good.
