Kitahama Station (Hokkaido) × Stays Popular For SunsetsHighly-rated Hotel·Ryokan

We were happy to see the energetic Hokkaido dogs again—Miyon, Dan, and Dolly! This Accommodation was satisfying in every way, from the Onsen to the meals, and they even moved our “repeat guest” plaque to our 8th car. Thank you to all the staff for your consistently warm and attentive hospitality.

This was my first stay, and the Hotel—welcomed by Hideki Takahashi and his family—offered a wonderful view overlooking Lake Abashiri. While the Facility felt less luxurious than expected, it was still comfortably good overall. Food and drinks were excellent: during happy hour from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm at check-in, we enjoyed draft beer and other beverages along with oden. Dinner is described as a “light dinner buffet mini,” but that’s far too modest—the quality, quantity, and variety were more than sufficient, and on top of that there was an all-you-can-drink option (including draft beer) for 90 minutes, which made us very satisfied. After bathing, there were free massage chairs plus coffee and other soft drinks, and they even offer complimentary late-night soba—truly attentive service in every way. Use of the table tennis table was also free. There’s too much to list, but the baths were clean and well maintained, and all staff members were courteous and helpful. If I have another chance to visit, this is the Hotel I would consider first. Highly recommended!
