Around Otaru Dream Beach × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan

I stayed for one night and two days. Rooms & Amenities → The in-room open-air bath was clean and very relaxing. Hospitality & Service → I was warmly welcomed from check-in, and the staff responded pleasantly whenever I needed anything, which made me very happy. Onsen Baths → The large public bath was spacious, and the outdoor open-air bath area was also clean. I also appreciated the service of having drinks and towels available in front of the sauna room. Dining → I only had breakfast, but it was delicious.

1. The staff are very friendly and helpful. 2. The large public bath feels like an Onsen and is great. The shower is high quality with three modes, and it doesn’t shut off automatically, so it’s easy to use. Sometimes soap suds splash around the washing area near the door, so it’s better to rinse the floor well before leaving. The shampoo and other amenities are also good quality. 3. At the 1st-floor restaurant, soft drinks are free-flow for many time slots. From 18:00 to 20:00, alcohol is also free-flow. It’s excellent—however, there is no beer. It’s free, which is very helpful. 4. From 21:00, ochazuke is served and can be a light dinner. It’s delicious, but limited to one bowl per person (no refills). 5. Breakfast isn’t extravagant, but it’s tasty enough and recommended. 6. The parking lot is spacious. 7 .If you ask, they will bring out a hand cart for you to borrow . 8 .The Room refrigerator is a two-door type and can freeze ice cream .It cools very well . 9 .At certain times ,there is free ice cream near the entrance of the large public bath . 10.There is a washing machine in the Room ,but no dryer function.There is a simple drying area near the window.If you check in late for one night ,your laundry may not dry by morning.I did laundry every day.Detergent is also provided . 11.There is a microwave in the Room ,which is very convenient . 12.There is a desk suitable for working . 13.The internet speed fast with no stress.You can upload large files for work without issues . 14.There drugstore and Seven-Eleven next door . 15.The sea nearby . 16.With two elevators ,the wait time short . This Hotel highly recommended. If possible ,even used books would be fine—having a small corner with comics manga)and tourist guidebooks would make it even better .

The location is decent (especially for JR users). The Room feels clean, and the Facility is easy to use. There was no noise from neighboring rooms or above/below, so I slept well. It’s a good Hotel.

It was incredibly comfortable. The Room is spacious, the kitchen is easy to use, the bathroom is separate, and there is also a walk-in closet and a chest of drawers. I’ve stayed at many hotels with kitchens, including overseas, and this place is among the best. It’s close to Kotoni Subway Station, and there’s an AEON directly connected to the station, making it easy to cook for yourself. Between there and JR Kotoni Station, you’ll find plenty of great bars as well. A famous soup curry restaurant was also nearby. I definitely recommend this over staying at a City Hotel or Business Hotel. We stayed for two nights, and it was a Room you won’t want to leave.

Everything—the views, the Room, the baths, the meals, and the hospitality—was outstanding. My whole family kept saying again and again that we had never stayed at such a wonderful Ryokan. First of all, the baths! The view of Otaru spread out below from the open-air bath was breathtaking. (We also really appreciated that the amenities were from a well-known cosmetics brand and that towels were always available.) Inside the Ryokan, there were furnishings that evoked the former prosperity of the Herring Mansion, making it an irresistible place for history lovers. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, and I especially can’t forget the potato with butter sauce—a long-loved specialty of this Ryokan. It was such an incredible time that I almost didn’t want to recommend it to others. I definitely want to come back again next time.

Because it is very close to Subway “Kita-Nijuyo-Jo Station,” it was a real help for travelers with lots of luggage. There is also a convenience store nearby, which was very convenient. The bed was comfortable, and I was able to enjoy a pleasant stay at the Hotel.

Stayed at Asarigawa Onsen for the first time in 30 years. Since the reservation was made the day before, room options were limited, but it was a spacious room. However, there was some noise from the pipes. Dinner was very delicious, though I wished for a few more dishes. The breakfast buffet had more variety than expected, and the curry was tasty. Next time, I’d like to try using the izakaya. The Christmas decorations inside were beautiful, and the live piano performance was amazing—I listened for an hour. The open-air onsen was nice, but I felt there could be more baths available. The staff's service was excellent; I’d love to visit again in a different season!

We stayed as a family of four. The Room had a small kitchen, dishes and cutlery, and a refrigerator about the size for single living. The bathroom and toilet were separate, which was convenient. The Room was spacious, so we could relax comfortably. It felt like being at home, which we really appreciated. I wish there had been dedicated parking nearby.

I stayed on the 8th floor, and the hallway heating was on, making it feel like a sauna, so I informed the front desk before going out. When I returned, it had improved after letting in outside air, but there seems to be an issue with the Facility inspection system. Regarding the foldable luggage rack in the Room for placing large bags: while I was trying to set it up, the tabletop (quite heavy) suddenly fell and hit my left wrist, causing slight bleeding. It was a minor injury, but I think this could lead to a serious accident unless it is set up in advance. Breakfast felt significantly better than two years ago. However, the pork was tough, though considering the price it seems unavoidable. The large public bath was well maintained and not crowded, so I could relax. The water temperature was just right and helped relieve my fatigue. That said, I would like cold water after bathing. Overall, I am satisfied. I will use your hotel again. Thank you very much.

For dinner, we chose the Chinese made-to-order buffet, and every dish was delicious.

We visited Otaru for a birthday trip this time. The Accommodation was a very calm and relaxing space, and having an Onsen in the Room was the best. With the all-inclusive plan, not only was the food delicious, but they also served wines and sake that paired perfectly with each meal—everything was excellent. There is also a bar inside the Accommodation, where they offered cocktails and wines tailored to our preferences, brought snacks without us even asking, and truly took great care of us; chatting with the bar staff was so much fun and made it feel very welcoming. Every staff member provided truly outstanding service. We were completely satisfied with this Accommodation and would love to visit again. Thanks to you, we were able to have a wonderful birthday.

With multiple events overlapping and Hotel rates for Saturday nights soaring across the board, I was able to stay at a very reasonable price. Also, although my Saturday and Sunday stays ended up as separate Reservations, thank you for treating them as a Multiple Night Stay. Since I used a double Room by myself, I was able to stay very comfortably. The amenities and in-room Facility were well equipped, and best of all, the station right in front is fantastic. If I have the chance to visit Hokkaido again, this is a Hotel I would like to use again.

The building is old, but it has a wonderful atmosphere and charm. The entrance is spacious and elegant. Everyone at the front desk—both experienced staff and younger staff—was very pleasant, and they greeted us with a smile every time we came and went. Even though it was a smoking Room, there was no unpleasant odor, so it was comfortable. The Room and bathroom areas were also clean. As others have mentioned, the kettle was filled with water. Since it heats the water and then keeps it warm (which must cost electricity), it was really helpful to be able to use hot water at any time. The shampoo amenities were good quality, and the toothbrush wasn’t too hard and was easy to use. They could have cut costs in many ways if they wanted to, but I was impressed that they clearly put guests first. It was also convenient that both the station and the live music venue were nearby. I would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

This was my first time staying here. The staff were very kind. They carefully guided me to the parking area and assisted me politely when I parked and checked in. The Room size was just right, but the shower curtain was a bit narrow, so I had to find the best position while showering. The Room walls seemed thin, and I could hear the neighbor sneezing. It surprised me a little at night and early in the morning. It was close to where I wanted to go, so I’m satisfied.

I stayed in Sapporo for two nights and chose this place for value. First of all, the parking fee is only 660 yen, with free in-and-out access during the stay—an incredible deal. At other hotels, I think it would be around 3,000 yen. The Room is a bit dated. I did notice poor ventilation in the bathroom, but it was clear that cleaning is done thoroughly. The front desk staff were also kind. There are many restaurants around the Hotel, so you can enjoy yourself without going all the way to Susukino. I used to stay only in Susukino, but my family liked this place too, so I’d like to stay here again next time.

After sightseeing in Sapporo and Otaru during the peak Obon holiday period, our family of four stayed here. We had a connecting room with a great view, and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast venue the next morning was not crowded, so we could enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace. As guests receive a 5% discount, we bought lots of souvenirs at the shop, and we were able to arrange shipping at the front desk, which made things much easier both physically and mentally. Thank you very much. We truly appreciated your hospitality.

It’s a small Hotel, but it was very nice. The day before, after a long drive, my husband’s back pain got worse, and they prepared a wheelchair for him—it was a huge help. Thank you very much. The Onsen was very relaxing, and the breakfast was delicious. My husband also said he definitely wants to come again.

It’s a small Business Hotel, but the staff were very friendly, and it’s close to Hokkaido University, making it perfect for a walk in nature. I stayed here for Arashi’s final live concert, and they played Arashi songs all the time, which made my stay very enjoyable. Breakfast was served at the café on the second floor; there weren’t many options, but I could enjoy it at a relaxed pace. I didn’t know you could have drinks at night too, so I really regret missing out. If I have the chance, this is definitely one of the Hotels I’d love to stay at again. I’m also grateful to the male front desk staff member who kindly helped me with dining recommendations.

It was absolutely wonderful. Given the price, we had high expectations, but it exceeded them. The first floor had three bedrooms, two toilets, one bathroom, and one TV. My cousin and I each stayed in separate rooms. The living room on the second floor had a wall of windows... my cousin was amazed by how beautiful the sunrise looked through them. The bath was spacious and luxurious; I enjoyed a relaxing soak. However, it was slightly inconvenient that there were no hair ties or a tabletop mirror available... The staff's service was excellent as well. We received one coffee voucher and one beer voucher each but were kindly allowed to exchange them for two coffee vouchers instead—thank you! My cousin from Yokohama and I are already talking about staying in a different building next year!

Everything was well equipped like home, the Room was spacious, and there was a play area for children, so our family was very satisfied with our stay. The location near Kotoni Station was also very convenient for getting anywhere. It said that luggage storage before check-in and after check-out was available, but we were worried about how it would work since the place is unmanned until we arrived. There was a baggage port in front of the reception counter (see photo). Hope this helps future guests. We would like to stay here again when visiting Sapporo.
