Stayed here for 1 night after spending 7 days touring around Hokkaido. Have to admit when we first booked this hotel, we never thought It would be this good at such a low price. Compared to other Ryokans around the island,this was the cheapest.

Arrived at 2pm and had no problems checking in. Was originally allocated a Tatami style room during booking as they said they were all fully booked, but decided to ask if we could change to a western style room as we weren't used to sleeping on the floor upon checkin. They gladly changed our rooms to a western style. Rooms were spacious and ample place for at least 4 pax.

Had pre-book the private onsen and went forit upon check in, we were very surprised at the cleanliness and the bath itself. Perfect for couples and some private time alone.

Dinner was Sakura-bou, meaning we had ala-carte + buffet included. Steak n Tempura was amazing, king crab legs were in abundance.

Overall this was a good price for an onsen in this area @ JPY10,180/pax/night.

Will definitely return...

I picked this hotel because it was one of the cheaper onsen hotels in the area. It was waaaay beyond my expectations, given the price I paid, and worth every yen.

Like most other onsen hotels, our stay was in a Japanese style room, including dinner and breakfast. I love the interior decor of the hotel - there were paintings and mini zen gardens incorporated at the lift lobbies and along the hallways. Very charming! Even the doors to the hotel rooms were painted and lacquered Japanese style! I'd have to say the room was pretty average for an onsen hotel.

The meals were buffet style and there was a good assortment of dishes. I love the restaurant where breakfast was held. Very atmospheric, with wooden bridges over running water and private Japanese style rooms. The only downside was breakfast was a bit too early for my liking (7-8am).

Onsen was fantastic. There is a jacuzzi and I love the temperature! Not too hot or too cold. The outdoor bath was really cute too, with large wooden tubs that can fit 2 people comfortable. The price we paid also included a private bath which was located in a very sleek and modern room.

Location wise, it may seem relatively further from "downtown" than the other hotels, but it really is just a 5mins walk away and a 10mins walk to Hell Valley. Also, if you walk AWAY from downtown to the back of the hotel, there is a path leading to Onuma and along the way, you can enjoy a foot bath in the natural hot water stream.
