I spotted the hotel I booked right after crossing one traffic light from Asahikawa Station – it's really close. Across from the hotel is a large Aeon mall, which is super convenient for shopping. On the first floor, there's a big fresh food supermarket, and around 8:30 PM, sushi and other items often go on half-price sale. Right next to the hotel is the liveliest local shopping street with all sorts of restaurants.
Because it was a weekend, a double room cost 800 RMB per night. For a more remote area in Hokkaido, that's quite expensive. On weekdays, it would be around 500 RMB, which is more reasonable. This hotel used to be called Eian International Hotel, but two months after booking, I suddenly received a text and email notification saying it had changed to KOKO Hotel.
One thing about this hotel that's a bit unreasonable is that they only clean the rooms once every three consecutive nights. You have to leave towels and trash bags outside your door yourself. Plus, starting this April, they've been charging guests a 300 yen accommodation tax. For two people staying three days, that's 1800 yen in accommodation tax. But they charge this fee while also simplifying the cleaning service – it's just speechless. On the plus side, the cleaning staff here are Japanese, unlike in bigger cities where you often find Nepalese, Indian, or Burmese staff.
