Hotels with WiFi in Kamikawa

"The room, though a bit dated, was clean, but the bathroom was a little small. The hotel offers a complimentary minibar with a good selection. They have free electric-assist bicycles, which we used to ride to the Twin Waterfalls and Maple Valley – it was incredibly convenient. There are four different onsen areas to choose from. The buffet quality was quite high, even better than Tsuruga in Lake Akan. I just wish I had gotten to try the famous snow crab."

"Though it is not in the heart of the city, you can easily reach this place via public bus. You can enjoy the view along the bus journey too. The hotel seems to be old. It has a 'half level' construction (e.g. there is a half stairs between floor 2 and 3; so you have to go down half a level or up a level respectively). Room was spacious. However, there is limited socket within the room. Hotel provides an extension cord to mitigate this deficiency. There is a public outdoor mixed gender onsen, which is the first time I experience in Japan. Hotel will provide 'onsen wear' for both genders to be used at this mixed onsen. Breakfast is simple with not a lot of options. We have asked for smoke-free treatment to the room, but don't think it was done. We can still smell cigarette in the room. Lucky we only stay for a night, and travel outdoor most of the time."

"Beautiful 大雪 area with sulfur smelling natural onsen water. Nice outdoor onsen, fireplace, lounge area for free drinks including sake, beer, wine, gelato, soft serve ice cream, good finger foods. The unrenovated areas are old looking. There are many tour groups each day and dinner time especially feels very crowded as if you are a member of their tour group. Not a very pleasant experience but food quite ok. In terms of service, all the female staff were helpful and friendly especially the female supervisor at the check in counter, she was helpful and very dedicated. However I had an unpleasant experience with a male supervisor when checking in, very unfriendly, told me no kettle in room can be provided while later I found out there are kettles. It made the overall experience very negative and the tone of voice was very unpleasant. Maybe he is overworked so I didn't take it personally but this kind of service is very unusual in Japan or anywhere in the world at this level of accommodation. Not sure if will go back again or recommend to family or friends."

"From the moment the shuttle picked us up from the Tabist Hotel in Asahikawa to our check-in, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We accidentally left our thermos on the shuttle, and they quickly retrieved it for us. The onsen (hot spring bath) itself had a distinct sulfur smell, which I absolutely loved! The bingo game at 8 PM (500 yen per card) really got the atmosphere going. The only downside was dinner; when we arrived around 6:45 PM, almost all the food was gone. A large tour group arrived shortly after, and even then, the food wasn't replenished. They just brought out fried chicken wings and fried fish, and even drinks weren't restocked in time. We ended up just eating ice cream, which made us feel colder and colder. It felt like they were afraid of people actually eating, which I really disliked. I would have been more impressed with a kaiseki meal in that situation. However, what I really need to complain about is the 'Sounkyo Ice Waterfall Festival.' It's unacceptable that just because we arrived on the last day, there was absolutely nothing left. All the attractions were gone, leaving only sponsor flags. How many fireworks were there? If the organizers charge an entry fee, shouldn't there be corresponding insurance? There wasn't any. I know that ice sculptures can be slippery, but simply throwing down a few plastic anti-slip mats isn't a proper solution. I had to keep reminding my elderly companions, 'Watch your step!' Unfortunately, one of our elders still fell. When we asked the event staff for assistance, we were told that since we were independent travelers, only our own insurance would cover it. The most they could do was have our hotel staff call an ambulance. Is that right? The rest of our trip was completely ruined because of this... completely ruined."

"Highly recommend Hotel Kumoi. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We arrived later due to heavy snow. Staff kindly offered to extend bath hours to accomodate which we greatly appreciated. Room was clean and spacious. Free parking available. Walking distance to daisetsuzan ropeway."

"Convenient location close to the ropeway and public transportation. The hotel is a little dated though. There are indoor and outdoor onsens but the outdoor onsen is opened to male and female on different dates. The hotel provides shuttle bus service to take you to their nearby sister hotel which has outdoor onsen throughout the week. The buffet breakfast and dinner are very average so don't expect much. The reception hardly speaks any English or Chinese so be prepared to use a translating App."

"Overall, it was okay. However, I have one thing to mention. The check-out time listed on the website was before 10:00 AM, but the management came at 9:05 AM to rush us out. The reason was that the hotel's weekday check-out time is 9:00 AM. So, within 10 minutes, our family stuffed everything into their suitcases without even packing. We then checked out at 9:15 AM. The receptionist then charged us an extra 1,000 yen per person for a late check-out fee, totaling 3,000 yen. I personally felt bad. The website clearly stated a 10:00 AM check-out time, but when we actually checked in, we were ”forced” to check out at 9:00 AM. Although this was explained at check-in, I'm not familiar with (or should I say, unable to understand) Japanese. This really gives me a bad impression of both the hotel management and TRIP.com's service. It seems like they're talking to each other because they don't understand the language."

"Because all the rooms were fully booked, I chose a dormitory room with eight beds. The beds were all large, and I didn't feel cramped even when sitting. The bathroom is public; if you shower early, you can have one to yourself. I was worried about showering at the same time as others, so I showered early. The toilets are large, and there are laundry facilities; laundry detergent costs 100 yen. Even in the rooms, the bathroom and toilet are shared. The staff were very helpful and nice. You can order their dinner, but I brought my own. There's a shared kitchen for cooking, and a refrigerator for storing food, but it was already crammed full."

"I visited during Golden Week and was lucky enough to experience snowfall in May. The hotel was a bit old, but it still had all the usual amenities, like an open-air bath. They also offered generous all-you-can-drink sake and welcome drinks. The location was convenient, so I recommend it to budget-conscious travelers. Asahikawa is truly a wonderful place!"
