Kussharo Prince Hotel

It was a wonderful hotel that blended beautifully into nature. We relaxed in the garden hammock and enjoyed the outdoors both day and night. The basement gift shop and game corner were also fun! The bath was excellent, and we enjoyed a leisurely, filling meal with our family.

We stayed here as a family while traveling around the Kushiro Marsh and the Mashu area.The price was very reasonable, so we were a bit worried at first, but the food was delicious, the room was clean, and we had a comfortable stay with no inconveniences.As others have mentioned, the building and interior do feel somewhat dated, but everything was well maintained, so it didn’t bother us.That said, it did feel a little plain. Since Prince Hotels used to be known as wonderful resort hotels, it made me feel a bit sad.Even if prices were raised slightly, I hope you’ll keep working hard so you won’t lose out to Hoshino’s new property opening nearby. With such an excellent location, I believe this could become an outstanding hotel.The buffet meals were all tasty. The make-your-own soft-serve ice cream was fun for both kids and adults. There were also children’s options—perfect for family trips where everyone can be happy!That said, as is often the case with buffets anywhere, when asked what dish was best as a “main,” nothing in particular stood out in my memory.On the other hand, what was great is that even though it was a buffet, we could enjoy it without getting irritated by crowds. The way the staff managed things so smoothly that we hardly noticed them really felt like Prince quality.Access from Mashu Station isn’t very convenient, but being able to use the shuttle bus helped a lot.This applies to Hokkaido in general: traveling by public transportation is quite difficult these days, and it’s disappointing to see transport services and towns declining. I think this is something roads authorities/municipalities and transportation operators need to take more seriously.
