I stayed with a motorcycle, and they kindly let me park under the eaves by the entrance. Also, I was truly happy that I could use the 8th-floor panoramic bath and the attached bathing Facility for free! However, my room was on the east side of the 7th floor, so it got strong morning sun and was scorching hot from early on even with the air conditioner set to high.

Stayed for a family birthday trip. The accommodation had a charming, retro atmosphere that felt like stepping back into the Showa era. There were various rest areas throughout the accommodation, perfect for relaxing with a book or simply unwinding. The retro-style chairs were very comfortable, and even the scent carried an old-fashioned charm reminiscent of the past. Some rooms were located quite far from the bath area, making it feel like navigating a maze at times. In winter, the hallways seemed like they could get very cold. A few minutes' walk from the accommodation was an exclusive bathing area for guests featuring five private semi-open-air baths and one non-private semi-open-air bath. It might be challenging to visit in bad weather, but we went both in the evening and morning to enjoy 100% natural hot spring water that kept our bodies warm—truly excellent Onsen water! However, some parts of the bathtubs and floors had sharp textures due to mineral deposits from the Onsen water, so caution was needed (laughs). The large open-air baths offered three temperature options: cold-feeling lukewarm, very lukewarm, and very hot—but unfortunately none at just-right temperatures. Dinner by an irori hearth was delicious; however, it could get smoky so clothing care is advised. All staff members were warm and provided excellent hospitality throughout our stay!

I stayed with my husband and 4-year-old son as a family of three in August. The exterior feels a bit old, but the room and the hotel were clean, and the food, service, and onsen were excellent. We had a very comfortable stay with our son. This is definitely a hotel we want to stay at again!

We arrived around 5:30 pm, and everyone was hungry, so we asked if dinner could be served from 6:30 pm, and they kindly accommodated our request. First, the bath. The facilities were very clean, including the changing area. Dinner had many dishes and was delicious. A young man was in charge of our table; although he seemed a bit inexperienced at times, we appreciated his sincere, hardworking attitude. The next morning, we all enjoyed another bath and then had a delicious breakfast with a wide variety of dishes. We used the local bus both ways. On the way there, we took a bus that arrived about five minutes late due to rain from the nearby bus stop, but when it passed in front of the inn, the staff waved to us—everyone was truly touched. It was a warm and welcoming place to stay. Thank you very much.

We had a wonderful time. When we contacted you to say we would be about an hour late due to road conditions, you responded kindly and pleasantly. The meals were delicious as well—the Japanese-Chinese cuisine was great. Perhaps because the Room and the toilet were close, we noticed the sound of flushing water and the air conditioner airflow at night. The bath was also excellent.

There were no excessive services, but the inn offered everything needed for a comfortable stay. We stayed multiple nights, and on both days we were served different meals in just the right portions, all of which were delicious. There was also a wide selection of alcoholic drinks available with an all-you-can-drink option. The hot spring, the welcome drinks available until 3:00 PM, and the view of Lake Chuzenji from the window were all outstanding, making our stay extremely comfortable.

I was able to relax and take it easy. I stayed in the South Wing, which was a bit far from the Onsen, but I enjoyed getting there using the inclined elevator. The Facility felt a bit old, but I think that also adds to the Onsen atmosphere. What stood out most was how delicious the vegetable dishes at the buffet were. The roast beef and crab were great too, but above all, the vegetables were excellent and very satisfying. The staff greeted me every time we passed each other, which made my stay very comfortable. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

My child had a great time solving the “Little People” puzzle last month, so we stayed again to try the ninja puzzle. Since it was during the Obon holiday period, it was very lively and crowded. The large public bath in particular was full of excited children. All of the food was delicious, and the welcome sake in the lounge was also excellent. However, it was disappointing that there was a leftover seaweed packet from a previous breakfast on the floor in our Room, and a used paper cup left inside the shoe cabinet for outdoor shoes. It felt like the cleaning wasn’t thorough, and there were even cobwebs around the lighting. In the end, we were able to complete the ninja puzzle successfully, and my child went home satisfied. It was also nice to be able to enjoy things like an evening taiko drum performance and feeding koi fish.

I was already familiar with how great the baths at Kanno Onsen are, having known it from before it temporarily closed and was later renovated after operating as a therapeutic hot-spring retreat. The Room renovations were also excellent—nothing to complain about. As for dinner and breakfast, they were neither particularly outstanding nor disappointing, but I enjoyed them. As expected, I thought neither phone service nor Wi‑Fi would be available, so I’m very grateful that I was able to connect to the Facility’s Starlink and use Wi‑Fi. The Onsen is truly top-notch!

We stayed here after visiting Kamikochi. The private open-air baths were simply outstanding. At least one was always available at any time. You do need to change footwear and walk outside, but it was much closer than we expected. There are three baths, and all of them are spacious with great views. You can adjust the water flow, so you can make it hotter or cooler as you like. The free-flowing natural hot spring water was excellent. The service style was just right for us, as we could relax and spend time at our own pace. We would definitely like to stay again.

From the check-in staff to the Room attendant, futon-making staff, breakfast staff, and Shuttle Service staff, everyone was very pleasant and made our stay comfortable. I was surprised by the in-room dining first—so many dishes served on a large tray. It was a bit disappointing that we had to choose the same drink (wine or a soft drink) as my companion (I wanted wine), but everything was delicious. We also enjoyed relaxing in the private bath. Breakfast offered a wide variety of items, and I was especially impressed by how delicious the miso soup was. The Gunma-chan miso soup bath was also adorable. They even recommended Green Farm for us, which really helped. It turned into a very fulfilling trip. Thank you very much.

They kindly told us the best spots to watch the fireworks, nearby convenience stores, and the Facility amenities.

If you’d like the rice and miso soup served earlier at dinner, it’s best to ask. (I’m not sure about the Ryokan’s unspoken rules, but if you don’t say anything, they seem to ask near the end—just before dessert—and will bring them if needed.) Breakfast had a bit more pickles and pre-made dishes than expected, so I would have appreciated a few more freshly cooked warm items.

The Accommodation buildings are scattered across a spacious property, offering a relaxing escape from the bustle of the city. But the greatest highlight here is the wonderful dinner. The menu is thoughtfully crafted, with many unique and unusual dishes. The chef’s dedication really shows in the food, and I was very satisfied. The Onsen is also excellent, with free-flowing natural hot spring water. I didn’t know there was such a great place in Kokonoe.

I stayed in a smoking Room, and it smelled like being in a smoking lounge. The odor was a bit too strong. I’ve switched to e-cigarettes, so the smell of cigarettes is usually fine for me, but this was overwhelmingly strong. Even using the air purifier didn’t help. Everything else was very good, which makes it disappointing.

As last year, I stayed at Sekisuitei with a friend. My friend, who lives outside Hokkaido, stayed here last year and it seems to have become a favorite Hotel. They especially liked that the dinner buffet includes Jingisukan, and that while the Onsen isn’t particularly large, it has an open-air bath and several different baths. (Each one is set to a different temperature.) At the Hotel, we enjoyed soaking in the Onsen many times. From our Room, we could hear the sound of a nearby river (or maybe a small stream), which was very relaxing. We used the Shuttle Service bus, and thanks to the driver’s polite service and careful driving, we felt safe throughout. If possible, I would like the Sapporo departure time to be 1:00 PM. With a 2:00 PM departure, arrival at the Hotel is around 4:00 PM, and by the time you get into your Room and settle in, it’s already about 5:00 PM. It’s disappointing not being able to do any sightseeing around Noboribetsu town.

You generally won’t have any contact with the Hotel staff, so there’s no need to worry about being considerate. It’s unmanned from check-in to check-out. If you’re not comfortable operating machines, it may be a bit difficult.\nThe Facility is fairly old, so it’s recommended for those who just need a place to sleep. It’s nice that the washing machine can be used for free, which is convenient for a Multiple Night Stay. The dryer isn’t very powerful, so it takes time.\nThis time I couldn’t book a non-smoking single Room and ended up with a smoking Room. I expected some cigarette smell, but it was quite strong.

This was my first time staying at this Hotel. The front desk staff were wonderful, and the food was delicious—I was very satisfied. Just one thing: coffee was provided in the morning, but it was a coffee drink rather than brewed coffee, which was a little disappointing. Still, considering everything overall, I felt it offered excellent value for money. Thank you very much.

We stayed in a barrier-free Room. The Room had been nicely renovated and was comfortable. However, the washroom and toilet doors are automatic, and the noise was quite noticeable. Especially at night, whenever a family member went to the toilet, I woke up each time. The meals were tasty overall, but I felt they could have featured a bit more of Tokachi’s local character. The large public bath had a spacious washing area, but the bathtub felt small. The bath in our Room was spacious and comfortable, but the water was very hot, so we needed to adjust the temperature by adding cold water. We stayed for two nights as a family, and although there were a few points of concern, we had an overall comfortable stay.

We stayed for one night as a family. The Facility was even more satisfying than we had imagined based on the Reviews. Check-in and check-out were very smooth, and the staff were also very kind and helpful. We stayed in the Kaede Wing Room. Getting there was a bit complicated, but the Room was clean. Compared with the Satsuki Wing, there was a slight smell, but it wasn’t strong enough to bother us during our stay. The amenities were minimal with nothing unnecessary— only towels and toothbrushes. There were no snack trays, and only tea was provided with the electric kettle. My mother, who came with us, seemed to find it a little lacking, but since we could enjoy free ice cream, drinks, and alcohol in the lounge, I didn’t feel it was lacking at all. I wish the buffet had offered a few more items. Our child was looking forward to dessert, but there weren’t many options and they seemed disappointed. Other than the meals, there were plenty of Facilities to enjoy inside for a full day, and we made great memories playing table tennis and enjoying the lounge and kids’ park.
