แหล่งน้ำพุร้อนรอบ ๆ คาวายุออนเซ็น × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

Everything—from the staff and rooms to the food—was perfectly balanced and very comfortable. The staff were friendly without being intrusive, and we had a wonderful time. It’s no exaggeration to say this was one of the best Hotels we’ve ever stayed at. Thank you very much.

On my first trip to Kushiro, I stayed two nights and spent the second night at Lake Akan. From the entrance to the front desk area looked just like the photos, with lots of wood throughout, and I relaxed on the lobby sofa before heading to my Room. I took a coffee out the back entrance and sat on a bench overlooking Lake Akan—such a great start. The Room was a double Japanese-style Room, more than enough for one person. It may have been renovated; it was a modern, clean tatami Room with a bed, which was great. The bath was a large indoor bath, but I also took the shuttle bus to an affiliated property and enjoyed their rooftop open-air bath—very satisfying! You’ll regret it if you don’t go (lol). Dinner and breakfast were buffet-style, and everything was delicious. You tend to think “Hokkaido = seafood,” but all the other dishes were also carefully prepared and tasted amazing. I planned to have a drink at the bar next to reception afterward, but I was too full and gave up (lol). The next morning, while taking a walk around Lake Akan, I ran into wild deer! After that, I took an early sightseeing cruise over to Marimo Hall. The cloudy sky wasn’t ideal, but the breeze felt great and it was very relaxing. It was just one night/two days, but I fully enjoyed nature and felt refreshed. I’d love to stay again if I get the chance.

I’ve traveled to Akan several times, but this was my first stay at this Accommodation. It has the feel of a long-established property, and the staff were calm, courteous, and kind. I was satisfied with both breakfast and dinner. The Onsen was very pleasant as well, but the sauna was too hot—right when I stepped in, I burned the soles of my feet. I had been looking forward to it, so it was a bit disappointing.

The dining room’s large picture windows are a real highlight. While having dinner at a window-side table, we unexpectedly saw what looked like a crane—a large bird flying in. We also spotted many other waterfowl. The sunrise from the nearby pier was beautiful. The meals are satisfying as well. We really enjoyed the roast beef—it was delicious.

This was my first trip to Eastern Hokkaido. The location is, above all, outstanding—rare and truly one of a kind. It feels like there’s nothing that could replace it, and I imagine managing and operating the Hotel must be quite challenging. This time I couldn’t see it from the Hotel, but my son’s family stayed here four years ago as well and said they saw Ezo deer relaxing outside the bath, which made me feel you value and protect nature. Even in the midst of Hokkaido’s great wilderness, this is a properly run Hotel. The Onsen is wonderful. Not only is the water quality excellent, but there is also plenty of hot water, and having free-flowing hot spring water in the Room made me very happy. We were sightseeing this time and weren’t expecting much from the Onsen, so this was a very pleasant surprise. There were a few unexpected issues in my son’s Room, but you changed Rooms for them and handled everything promptly. When we were leaving, the manager even came out personally to apologize. Follow-up when something happens is so important—when you have that kind of support, it makes you want to come back. The only issue we couldn’t resolve was that our Room’s air conditioning was fixed to heating mode, with a note saying to use the window screen if we wanted it cooler. However, because it coincided with a season when large numbers of tiny insects come in through screens, we couldn’t open it. Since I tend to get hot easily, I ended up drenched in sweat at night and couldn’t sleep—it was difficult. My son said their Room had no problem at all, so that part remains a bit of a mystery. Other than that—including meals and cleanliness—I think this is more than good enough as a Hotel. Thank you very much.

The Room felt spacious and open, and we were able to fully enjoy Hokkaido’s great natural scenery. The meals were also very delicious. It’s a wonderful place to relax and enjoy some quiet time. Next time, I’d like to book a Multiple Night Stay!

There are many sightseeing spots nearby, and I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay of two nights last year. This year, I stayed for three nights and visited various places such as Abashiri, Shiretoko, and Kushiro. The rooms are mainly on the second floor, while the first floor includes a living room, laundry area, and dining space, making it very convenient to use. Each guest is provided with their own entrance key, allowing freedom in returning at any time. A Seicomart is located nearby, and light cooking can be done on the first floor with available utensils and a microwave. Reservations offer options between private rooms or shared rooms. The facility is affordable yet well-equipped—perfect as a base for sightseeing. I look forward to staying here again someday!

First stay. Everything was average, neither good nor bad. I used the onsen late at night and early in the morning, and it was empty, so I had it all to myself. The water temperature was perfect, and I was very satisfied. It was disappointing that there was no shop and the selection of souvenirs was limited.

Recommended by a gourmet friend, I stayed at this accommodation. Having lived in Eastern Hokkaido before, I had visited the surrounding area often but was not very familiar with Lake Kussharo. Curious about the place, I decided to visit and was immediately impressed by the stunning mountain views from the lodge. The rare snowfall for this region added to its charm this year. The experience of checking in via canoe or snowshoe from Lake Kussharo was truly memorable. The accommodation building featured facilities such as a sauna, cold bath, and barrel bath. It was delightful to cool off while enjoying the snowy scenery after using the sauna. For the first time, I also experienced tending a fireplace with firewood, which allowed me to spend mindful and relaxing moments. The meals were Chinese-inspired cuisine and absolutely delicious! The chef skillfully prepared luxurious ingredients like abalone and shark fin for an unforgettable dining experience. Thank you for kindly preparing additional mapo tofu as well—it was fantastic! Breakfast was equally exceptional. While having dinner, it started snowing outside; we appreciated how staff thoughtfully cleared snow just before we returned to our room in the accommodation building. Although it would be nice if improvements could be made regarding some minor points—such as whether or not the baths are onsen or addressing slight odors in rooms with toilets and showers—the overall experience far outweighed these small concerns. It left such an impression that I ended up making a summer reservation before leaving! This place is truly remarkable—I look forward to visiting again during another season for more unique experiences. Thank you so much for providing such precious memories!

A lovely pension by Lake Kussharo. The highlight is the hard French bread, which rivals those from famous city bakeries. The meals were impressively delicious, especially considering they are self-taught, and I appreciated that proper tea was served alongside coffee. The onsen with an open-air bath was excellent. Kotan no Yu was also nearby. Although we couldn't secure a canoe reservation during the busy Obon season this time, we look forward to enjoying the enchanting winter canoe tour in the future.
