Great Location for the Ice Festival

The included dinner and breakfast was very good. The buffet dinner had alot of choices and so did the breakfast.The location of the hotel is ideal for the Sounkyo Waterfall Ice Festival which is only a 10minute walk from the hotel. We also liked the hotel shuttle bus provided from Sapporo, very convenient.

Good, but sister hotel better

Overall a nice experience - we went half board and both breakfast and dinner were good. They have a sister hotel that allows you to have dinner there, or visit the onsen. Both dinner and onsen were better in their sister hotel. Good location to the mountain and easy walking to the cable car for mountain access. Next time, we will stay in the sister hotel

The room is spacious. However, the staff is not so helpful. We requested them to make a reservation at a restaurant serving crabs and they said it's fully booked. But when we went there to ask, there were tables available. Also when we arrived, we were asked to park at a carpark 2 blocks from the hotel. We noted there was a carpark right at the hotel building. We tried asking the reception if we could park our car at hotel and she said there is height restriction. However, I don't think my car was over the limit.

Upon arrival we felt like we had arrived at the Shining hotel just as described in an earlier review, but at 3pm its lights on and showtime! Buses and cars arrive and the reception desk comes to life! After a botched car rental ( thanks Expedia : ( - we took the bus from Kamikawa which was easy and cheap. The hotel onsen was great, we went five times over our two days! Breakfast and Dinner buffet were included - the egg omelet was my fave breakfast item. Loads of food choices. We walked to the Ryusei waterfalls and took the ropeway and chairlift and then hiked to the top of Kurodake. The town itself was quiet - June 26, almost deserted - but a stunning place to hike and onsen. Took the bus back to Kamikawa with ease. It’s an older crowd at the hotel, regimented meal times, but a really enjoyable experience.

A major renovation is overdue. Everything needs to be replaced except for the helpful front desk staff. The food is of dismal quality though they seem to churn them out in quantity. The onsen has very slippery floors, more so than other hotels’ onsens. Not a hotel I would recommend to anyone .

The hotel is really old and due for a makeover. The room and bathroom are not very clean. Place smells stale too. The food served in the restaurant was edible but not great. I couldn't wait to leave the hotel. If you are driving, you should consider staying somewhere like Asahikawa with more hotel options.

Quantity over quality

The stay was okay. I'm not sure if this is the case for all the hotels in the area but this facility seems to cater to Chinese and Korean tour groups who bring the volume of people that help this relatively large hotel stay in business. Facility was clean but a bit tired. Need to get to the onsen and have dinner early to beat the crowds.
