Hotels With Pools in Hokkaido, Japan

A very comfortable stay and one I would happily return to on a future trip to Sapporo. The room was spacious by Japanese hotel standards, well maintained, and had a grand feel without being overly luxurious. After long days of sightseeing, it was a pleasant place to return to and rest. The location is excellent, within walking distance of Sapporo Station while still being quiet and convenient. What really stood out was the practicality of the hotel. The airport limousine bus stops here, making arrivals and departures very easy. There are also luggage lockers available, and Yamato luggage delivery services can be arranged from the hotel. A small tip: if you're planning to use Yamato luggage delivery, do take note of the cut-off times and delivery schedules, as they may affect your travel plans. Overall, a comfortable, convenient, and reliable base for exploring Sapporo and the surrounding areas. I would definitely stay here again by next week.

This is arguably the best hotel in all of Hokkaido. The room types, size, dining, and service are all excellent. A major plus is that Nakajima-koen subway station is directly across the street, making it incredibly convenient to get to key attractions like Susukino, Odori Park, and Shiroi Koibito Park.

We stayed at Rusutsu Resort Hotel & Convention and we were truly impressed. We came for skiing, and the location is perfect — just step out of the hotel and you’re right at the ski slopes. So convenient .⛷️❄️ The room was spacious, very clean, and extremely comfortable. The snowy view from the window made the whole experience even more special. After a full day of skiing, relaxing in the onsen was absolutely amazing. It was the perfect way to unwind and recharge. ♨️✨ The staff were friendly, polite, and very helpful. Overall, it was a comfortable and memorable stay. Definitely a place we would love to come back to again.❤️Bkk Thailand ❤️

This is a historic Japanese onsen hotel. The hot spring water quality is genuinely good, attracting many Japanese families and couples. There are also quite a few Korean families and Western tourists. However, the overall facilities are a bit old, and the flow within the onsen area is quite complex. There aren't many pools, but they are spread across multiple floors with lots of stairs. Walking around like that **in that condition** felt a bit awkward and cold. The open-air onsen on the 16th floor is shared by men and women at different times, so if all family members want to enjoy it, one day definitely isn't enough (see the last picture for the onsen schedule). The 'water world' is fun and great for kids, and soaking in the hot spring after playing there is very relaxing. The dining is just okay, nothing special, as they mainly cater to group tours. P.S. The scenery in Jozankei is worth exploring, and the nearby ski resort is worth a visit (the kind for playing in the snow). The kids had a blast.

The view from our room was insane, overlooking the lake. The room was a bit outdated but it served us well for our trip, though the bed was quite firm and springy. The service was amazing, location was great for us as we had a car and the parking lot was a very short walk away. The only downside is how overwhelming the buffet smells are but the selection is plentiful.

If you're coming to Noboribetsu for the onsen experience, Dai-ichi Takimotokan gets many things right. The location is exceptional. Sitting right beside Hell Valley (less than 3mins walk to main entrance) + shops around the resort offers one of the most iconic onsen settings in Japan. Service throughout the resort was warm, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. The property is well maintained, and cleanliness standards were consistently good throughout my stay. The highlight, without question, was my room with a private onsen overlooking Hell Valley. Waking up to steam rising from the volcanic landscape while soaking in mineral-rich waters is one of those travel moments that stays with you long after you've returned home. The Grand Onsen is another standout. While parts of the facility feel a little dated, it remains one of the largest and most impressive onsen complexes I've personally experienced. The variety of baths, minerals, temperatures, and views makes it a destination in itself. Where the resort falls short is the food. My Kaiseki dinner was underwhelming and lacked the refinement and wow factor I had expected as the first 2 dishes were pre-laid out b4 my arrival. Private Breakfast was acceptable but forgettable. Neither meal was bad, but neither was memorable, especially by Japanese ryokan standards. A word of caution for fitness enthusiasts: the ”fitness room” is more symbolic than functional. Calling it a gym would be generous. If maintaining a serious workout routine is important during your travels, you'll likely be disappointed. Overall, Dai-ichi Takimotokan is a resort I would recommend for its location, private onsen rooms, and spectacular bathing facilities rather than its culinary offerings. Come for the healing waters and views of Hell Valley; set your expectations lower for the dining experience. My rating: 4.2/5 Private Onsen Room: 9.5/10 Location: 9.5/10 Grand Onsen: 9/10 Service: 8.5/10 Cleanliness: 8.5/10 Kaiseki Dinner: 5/10 Breakfast: 5/10 Fitness Room: 1/10 In one sentence: ”A legendary onsen resort with one of Japan's most impressive bathing experiences, elevated by private Hell Valley views, but held back by average dining and a questionable fitness room.

The hotel staff were very helpful. Breakfast was also reasonable for the price. The difference in level between the rooms is an issue. I hope they improve this. I also think the price is reasonable. I was able to enjoy the hot springs.

This hotel is quite affordable for Jozankei, though it doesn't have private onsen. The hotel itself is a bit old, but the rooms are spacious enough. Booking the bus from Sapporo to Jozankei was convenient, and we saw many Japanese seniors staying there. The breakfast and dinner buffets offered a good variety of fruits and vegetables, and everything was pretty tasty. It was also very convenient for my trip to Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort. Recommended!

The hotel offers a free airport shuttle service, which is fantastic! The cabins are very unique, with a truly natural environment, and the service is top-notch; everyone is incredibly welcoming. In particular, the Chinese receptionist, Xiao Zhang, was a huge help. He handled all the communication and service, from arranging breakfast and dinner to providing transportation and information about the hotel. Communication was never a problem, and he was extremely attentive to every detail. Thank you so much! I'm very satisfied.

The hotel room is considered large in Japan. We were 3 people and the hotel provided us with a separate sofa bed. There are also many food stalls near the hotel, which is very convenient. It is 3 subway stations away from Sapporo Station. Convenient transportation.
