Forest Spa Resort Hokkaido Hotel

This place came highly recommended by locals, so we chose it for the final stop of our trip. The room was amazing—one night wasn’t enough, and I’d love to stay again in the season when they light the fireplace-style stove. The wonderful service was truly soothing as well. I also caused some trouble at the front desk due to my own misunderstanding, but they handled it with great sincerity, and I’m deeply grateful.As for dining, after a long journey my stomach was a bit tired, and since we had lunch around 3:00 p.m. on the day of check-in, I was disappointed that we couldn’t fully enjoy the restaurant as I’d hoped. However, I learned that we could also use it as a bar, so we were able to relax with wine and snacks at our own pace. Needless to say, breakfast was delicious.I don’t like carrying lots of luggage, so I usually choose hotels with coin laundry—and this one has it too—so next time I’ll stay for multiple nights.

As a Hokkaido resident, I’d been wanting to stay here for a long time, and my wish finally came true. The corn potage at breakfast was incredibly sweet—something that made me proud to be from Hokkaido. The moor hot spring was excellent, and both the sauna and cold plunge had perfect temperatures. The building and furnishings feel solidly built with a luxurious atmosphere. The garden is beautifully maintained, making it a pleasure to stroll around.
