Around Otaru Dream Beach × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated for dining at 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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

We stayed here for a two-night trip to Sapporo. Since it’s an entire house rental with plenty of Rooms, it should work well even for trips with multiple groups. The Facility is new, and both the building and appliances were extremely clean. With a layout like a luxury vacation home, it also seems ideal for longer stays. And the sauna is outstanding. It’s equipped to the same level as a private commercial sauna, and we were very satisfied. There’s also a balcony for outdoor cooling and an open-air bath, with perfect flow between them. (Of course, it isn’t visible from outside.) It’s about 15 minutes by taxi from central Sapporo, so you can enjoy quiet nights. With Vacation Rentals, communication with the manager often takes time, but they replied quickly even when we emailed questions, which was very reassuring. The manager was extremely kind. I was more satisfied than at a luxury Hotel. (Notes) Because the sink is right in front of the sauna, the wash area gets hot while using it. For makeup and similar tasks, I recommend using another sink or waiting until after you turn off the sauna.

We stayed at your Accommodation again for my daughter’s birthday trip. Due to record-breaking heavy snowfall, transportation was almost paralyzed, and we arrived after a long drive. Although I called in advance, I was a little worried we might be causing trouble upon arrival, but the front desk staff were consistently courteous and welcomed us warmly, and we were able to check in smoothly. The Room was clean and warm again, and we were able to stay comfortably just as before. Thinking about housekeeping, we avoided eating in the Room this time, but after returning home I slightly regretted it, thinking we should have enjoyed a meal in that atmosphere. I wanted my wife to relax during the trip as well, but she always works hard enough as it is… (and I can’t cook at all—haha). We look forward to staying again next time.
