Hotels With Pools in Hokkaido, Japan

The room offered a fantastic view of Jigokudani (Hell Valley), and it was just a five-minute walk away. The hotel's buffet was excellent, especially the seafood and pumpkin salad – highly recommended! There were plenty of onsen (hot spring) pools, and the outdoor ones were open-air, with no roof. Soaking in the hot springs while watching the snow and stars was truly amazing!

The twin room was quite spacious, with two 1.2-meter-wide single beds and enough space in between to get out of bed easily. On the other side, I could open my 30-inch suitcase. The price of around 1,000 RMB during the winter holiday, including breakfast, was acceptable. I think Ctrip had a package without breakfast for 600-700 RMB per night. However, those packages need to be booked in advance, which isn't suitable for a traveler like me who needs flexibility. One thing to note is that the duvet didn't have a cover, it was just a sheet over the duvet. It felt unhygienic (because the exposed part was the duvet itself, which isn't changed) and wasn't very comfortable. I was quite bothered by it, but since I was traveling with a child, it wasn't convenient to switch hotels. The heating was very strong, almost too hot for the duvet. The breakfast on the first floor was plentiful, mainly Asian-style.

There's a direct bus from JR Toya Station right to the hotel entrance. The hotel lobby is magnificent, and the views are great, but it does host a lot of tour groups, so expect it to be quite lively everywhere you go. The room views are also beautiful. I'd read in other reviews that the Western-style rooms were a bit dated, but I booked one anyway because it was cheaper. As someone who isn't too picky about accommodation, I found it to be very good. Both the mattress and the sofa were comfortable. The only real downside was the rather old toilet, but since I enjoyed the open-air onsen, I didn't actually use the shower in the room. The hotel offers a shuttle bus service to and from Sapporo, which I highly recommend using – it's super convenient.

The Japanese-style tatami room was very distinctive, and the hotel's facilities and equipment were well-maintained. The large public bath operates on a daily rotation for men and women, and the outdoor hot spring pools on each side are different. So, you'd need to stay at least two nights to experience the full range of hot springs. The meals didn't change at all over several days, so I quickly got tired of them.

The environment is really good. The forest house is two-story and about 100 square meters. Compared with the rooms I stayed in before in Sapporo, Noboribetsu and Rusutsu, it is much bigger. And the house is fully equipped with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It is very quiet and you can go out to play in the snow at any time. The only drawback is that if you don't drive here, you have to eat dinner at the hotel. The dinner at the hotel is very expensive. I ordered room service, which was quite a lot and delicious. In addition, the hotel does not have a vending machine, so you can only patronize the hotel's drinks and cakes in the lobby. Breakfast is included, which is very ceremonial. All the staff greeted us at the door of the restaurant. We were in a hurry, so we ate quickly and went to the airport. In addition to the snow, there is a golf course next to it. There is not much entertainment, but it is still a good stop for rest.

Clean, safe environment, good service. The hotel is very close to Kita 24jo Station, and travel is very convenient and fast. The overall experience is very good. I will choose it again next time.

Service: Enthusiastic and incredibly patient. Environment: There's a shuttle service from Qingchi, and the waterfall is just a stone's throw away. Hot Springs: Several pools, and not too crowded. What surprised me the most was how delicious the food was! Both breakfast and dinner are buffets with fresh, tasty ingredients. The sweet shrimp had a wonderfully refreshing sweetness. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

The rooms are spacious with views of either Lake Toya or the ocean. The in-room amenities are excellent, and the toiletries are all from well-known brands. The hotel itself is large with many restaurants. I particularly want to highlight how wonderful the hotel's hot spring is, and also the breakfast, which offers a great variety and high quality of food.

I booked two nights, the price is less than 200 per night, and the Otaru Hotel during the Snow Festival is more than 800+, so I chose a warm youth hostel. The person in charge is an old lady. You will find her humor and enthusiasm when you communicate with her. If there is no one at the front desk, you can ring the bell. You need to leave the key at the front desk when you check out. The second floor can be connected to the bathhouse on the first floor (I didn’t go because it seems to be an independent business bathhouse, and my roommate likes to go there); If you are assigned to a double room as shown in the picture, you are lucky because you will live very comfortably. My roommate is of the same country and the same sex, and we chatted like friends; If you are assigned to a quadruple room, then you will experience a rich youth hostel life. The roommates are men and women from all over the world. It is easy to communicate in a narrow environment. Everyone is very quiet and you don’t have to worry about your sleep problem. But there is indeed a smell that is not like 🦶 air for two days. I can’t tell the difference. There is a burning thing in the room (it seems to be an air purifier) ​​that can solve this smell. The interesting thing about this youth hostel is that it is like a blind box. You don’t know what you will encounter.

The hotel is quite new, with a small entrance. The service was good, but I didn't see any Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk. For breakfast, they had sashimi rice and soup curry! The desserts were pretty decent too! By the way, there's a doorman (who I think might be Indian) at the entrance, and he was very nice! He even helped me hail a taxi and carry my luggage.
