Hotels near Toyama Shrine in Higashikawa

We wanted to hike to Mt. Asahidake during the Koyo (Fall foliage) season, and among the properties at the base of the mountain, La Vista Daisetsuzan appeared to be the highest end accommodation in the area. Both the outside and inside of the lodge are charming and rustic in appearance, but are definitely showing clear signs of age and wear. In fact, while taking a dip in the communal Onsen (natural hot springs) bath, I overheard two men remarking how the place was ”boro boro” (Japanese for ”really worn down.”) Thankfully, we were relieved to find that La Vista Daisetsuzan was at least quite clean, and did not exhibit the old, moldy smell that is commonplace in older properties. And the dining room seems to have been renovated - we enjoyed our dinner here (more on that in a moment.) We stayed in their ”Luxury Room,” the highest category unit that was a relatively spacious 56m² open-plan Junior Suite. Other rooms on premises are quite a bit smaller, but people used to staying in standard rooms at Marriott-class properties will be more than satisfied with these room types. La Vista Daisetsuzan has a communal, gender-segregated Onsen on site - there is both an indoor and open-air outdoor bath, which is appreciated, especially in the Winter months, given that you'll want to warm up in the indoor bath before jumping into the outdoor one. While we did not have breakfast at the property (we wanted to get an early start on our hike, and we're glad that we did - the sky is more clear and there are less crowds), we had the French-Japanese dinner. To say that the meal exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. We're in Hokkaido, and an hour from the nearest city (Asahikawa), yet every dish was creative, beautifully presented and a feast for the eyes and palate. Everything - from the tuna tartare to the mini quiche to the Foie Gras to the al dente pasta with mushrooms and broccoli - was a highlight. The only serving that did not hit the spot was the main (ocean-) fish dish. The fish was hard and dry - when you're in the center of Hokkaido, perhaps they should focus on other ingredients, or at least serve fish that are fine frozen (like Tuna) or that come from the nearby rivers or lakes. Overall, if we were to make a return trip to the area, we would be more than fine with staying again at La Vista Daisetsuzan. In no way is this a destination unto itself, but if our short but pleasant stay is any indication, it's a very solid higher-end option in Daisetsuzan. It definitely blows away the vast majority of lodges in U.S. National Parks, that's for sure!

The location is good, the price is a bit expensive, and the service is quite satisfactory, but the handling of the problem is relatively rigid. For example, if you want to continue your stay, you must check out at 10 am and wait until 3 pm before you can check in. In the middle of this time, you have to stay in the lobby wait

A long-established inn ”Yukomaso” of Asahidake Onsen and the Association to Protect Secret Hot Springs. I booked a twin room in the renewed main building. It is sold that there are 5 source baths just to be named Yumoto, but because the facilities are old, there is no clean feeling, and I didn't want to soak in the open-air bath and the indoor bath slowly. Supper is a creative dish ”Yusuzen”. I was a little surprised that biscisowers came out in a vessel that suddenly hollowed out Yubari melon! The sashimi and sashimi are not bad. However, the next awakening croquette of the inca came out with the bag and there was no plate to eat by hand. Next, spring water jelly with chopsticks resting, boiled in white wine of tomatoes. There will be no course setting where things like water confectionery continue. Isn't sweet tomato conport good after meals? The main dish is Japanese black beef soup stock shabu-shabu, which doesn't go well with soup stock and beef. The last sweetness is white coffee pudding with a bottle! It came out. At breakfast, I recommended ”* kake rice with smoked soy sauce”, so I tried it, but the soy sauce was sweet and it didn't taste good. The room is clean and looks modern at first glance, but when you sit on the sofa on the wall, you can't see it in parallel with the TV on the wall. The bed was uncomfortable with a soft urethane mat. I was expecting it because it looks like a popular inn, but the hot springs, food and rooms left a pretty disappointing impression.

We had some problems getting to the hotel, as Google maps insisted on pointing us to another deserted building down the street (which also had a sign Takasago onsen). Once we got in, it turned out nobody at the reception spoke any English, luckily one of the other guests who was just checking in volunteered to interpret. It turned out that they wanted to notify us that the AC in our room was broken (it was 35 degrees outside). After refusing to accept that room, they gave us another room with a working AC. The hotel itself is very similar to other big spa hotels we stayed in, reasonably comfortable rooms, big buffet meals, but the quality of the food was so so, but the highlight of the place was the onsen, with about 10 inside pools and a nice outside jacuzzi. I guess that was the big attraction for all the tourist groups.

The location is great with AEON and many restaurants nearby, JR station is also within walking distance. Too bad there's no free parking from the hotel but there's a few choices of paid parking areas around the hotel, the parking area without roof opposite hotel is cheaper than the one in the building. Sleep wear and deodorize spray are provided. Public bath is clean. All the basic amenities are provided. Clean, new and well maintained hotel. Overall happy with my stay here.

This is a small self-employed Japanese-style home. Location is away from JR Station, there is no bus nearby, unless you are driving by car, it is not recommended to live here. The location is quiet and there is a separate bathroom, but the bath is for others to use (there are not many people, because there are only three rooms). The room has independent heating and cooling. The bathroom and bathroom facilities are new and better than some hotels. The owner will personally cook the breakfast for the guests, but the dishes are more single, but they can also give you a full meal before going out. There are no 7- 11, or restaurants nearby. It is recommended to have dinner before returning to rest.

The room is spacious and convenient as the toilet is separate from the bathroom. Parking is at 800 JPY per day, with multiple entries and exits allowed, after the parking ticket is validated at the hotel reception. As the hotel is connected to the Aeon mall, it is very easy to get food and snacks.

The breakfast is really good, the room size is OK, and the hot spring is also very good, but the smell is too strong in the smoking room. Facilities: good Health: good Good environment good service

It is a short walk from JR Asahikawa Station, and there are several convenience stores around. The size of the room is not small for the price, and the minimum amenities are available. Considering that, I think Cospa is also good. But something unprecedented happened that I had never experienced before. I went sightseeing for a few hours after checking out, so when I tried to leave my luggage, I was refused. First experience using more than 100 business hotels. I was stunned by shock.

Very convenient location since it is near JR station and shopping district. Driving distance to attractions range from 20 mins to 1 hour. Amenities such as face oil,, toner, cream, tea bags, coffee drops bags, toothpaste and toothbrush are readily available at hotel lobby at no extra charge.
