Nikko Style Niseko HANAZONO

I stayed for one night in the middle of my itinerary, and this was my favorite Hotel of the entire trip.The bar counter and lobby that come into view right after entering the entrance immediately got me excited.The Room was clean and stylish. The washbasin area was the open type with no partition from the Room, which is common in newer Hotels, but it didn’t cause any inconvenience. If anything, it made the Room feel more spacious than its actual square meter size.Although I didn’t use them, it seems they also offer a thoughtful selection of items for loan, which felt very considerate for guests on a Multiple Night Stay.The sofa and bed were comfortable as well, and I enjoyed having dinner in the Room that evening.The Onsen was also more than spacious enough and included an open-air bath. Maybe my timing was lucky, but there were few other guests, so it was extremely relaxing.Breakfast was buffet-style; even with a pleasant level of bustle, there were many attentive staff members who made it a great experience. In particular, having egg dishes cooked to my preference was fantastic (you order by QR code so there’s no line, and they bring it to you).A couple of small disappointments:- Parking(I assume it will be improved in the future, but there wasn’t any specific guidance; since it’s simply gravel ground at the moment, checking in at night was a bit confusing.)- The reception staff at the breakfast venue(I had planned on No Meals Included originally, but I was so impressed by how wonderful this Hotel is—and seeing available seats—I asked if I could join the breakfast buffet last minute. However, whenever I asked about seating or pricing details, I received guidance that strongly emphasized only negative points. It made me wonder if walk-ins aren’t really welcomed. That said, once inside—especially thanks to the excellent male staff member overseeing service—the experience turned out very positive.)I’m not sure what prices are like during peak winter season, but this is a Hotel I definitely want to stop by again whenever I visit Hokkaido.

Although it was the green season, I have stayed at this Hotel several times because I love it. The staff are very welcoming and always check in with me, making it a place that makes me want to return and leaves me feeling refreshed. The Facility is clean, and I was happy that the hair dryer was a ReFa. The meals are also delicious. This stay was for my birthday, and I was able to spend a wonderful time that will stay with me.
