ภูมิภาคร้อนน้ำพุร้อนทะเลสาบอบาชิริ × มีคะแนนอาหารสูงโรงแรม·เรียวกัง

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 trip was with my mother, who is turning 91. The building felt a bit old, but it was thoroughly cleaned and we had a very comfortable stay. At the dining venue, whenever dishes ran low they were replenished right away, and the staff even came to our table to let us know when refills were available. It was clear that everything was run efficiently with no waste. This is an Accommodation I would like to stay at again.

It was a long-established Hotel with attentive service. I visited looking forward to the buffet restaurant opening in July. There was a wide variety of dishes, and everything tasted great. Although many of the staff were from overseas, everyone was very kind and pleasant. At the dining venue, they promptly cleared away finished dishes, and I felt the staff were well trained. If I have the opportunity, I would like to stay again.

In today's world where service is expected, we simply offer a room, and that's it. Shared toilet and washroom. Enjoy the Onsen in the main building. Feel the passage of time in a simple and unadorned space.

This was my first stay in a year, and it was clean and comfortable. The temperature of the large public bath was just right for me. I fell asleep after coming back from drinks and missed the late-night soba, but it’s close to the shopping street with restaurants, and there’s a convenience store right in front, so it’s very convenient. In Abashiri, this would be my only choice personally.

I had never seen coral grass before, and since the Coral Grass Festival is in mid-September, I honestly didn’t have high expectations for an October stay. However, from the moment we entered the parking lot guided by the Kagariya signboard, all we could say was “Wow!” The two of us on this girls’ trip were greeted by a stunning view of fully bloomed coral grass. I had no idea the location was this perfect. Although the building is old, it was impeccably clean and comfortable. The highlight, however, was the food. When choosing the accommodation, I had looked at photos, and the simmered Kinki fish was the deciding factor. The freshly caught Kinki fish served was just as impressive, if not more. It was so delicious that we applauded. Every other dish was equally delightful, leaving us completely satisfied. We stayed in a room facing the lake, and the breathtaking view of Lake Notoro from the window in the morning was unforgettable. From sunrise to the changing light and the many birds flying in, even red-crowned cranes came to feed. Next time, I hope to enjoy a full-course Kinki fish meal.

We chose Kawayu Onsen as a place to stay while traveling from Abashiri to Lake Akan, and it turned out to be absolutely the right choice. The location is especially great. Until we stayed here, I didn’t realize Mount Io was this close, but after checkout we arrived there in just a few minutes by car. Since Abashiri and Lake Akan are quite far apart, I highly recommend an itinerary that includes one night in Kawayu Onsen along the way. We were also very satisfied with the Onsen. When I used the open-air bath, there happened to be no one else there, so I could relax and enjoy it at my own pace. The atmosphere of the open-air bath with its large rocks was wonderful as well. What exceeded my expectations most this time was the dinner buffet. There was an amazing variety of dishes, and I especially enjoyed plenty of crab legs (lol). Starting with “Mount Io Steamed,” inspired by Mount Io, there were many distinctive Hokkaido-style dishes. The red-fleshed melon and milk soft-serve ice cream were also delicious and memorable. The food was replenished properly throughout, so overall we were extremely satisfied with the meal. That said, for us the dinner time slot felt a bit short. It looked like there were enough seats available, so we would have been even happier with a schedule that allowed more time to enjoy dinner at a relaxed pace. Even so—considering the quality, variety, and replenishment—I’d still give dinner full marks. On the other hand, we found the lounge a little disappointing. There was a wide selection of alcohol and many guests seemed to enjoy it, but since I don’t drink alcohol I didn’t have many opportunities to use it. When I stopped by at night, most of the snacks and light bites were already gone and hadn’t been refilled; it would be great if there were more sweets and light snacks available for non-drinkers too. The guest room was spacious; while parts of the building do feel somewhat dated, everything around the bed area was arranged in a practical way—and being able to charge devices right by the pillow was convenient. The Hotel itself is large as well, and shared spaces like the lobby feel open and airy. Outside the Hotel there are also small spots where you can take in an Onsen-town atmosphere on foot. This time we only took photos, but if you have extra time it could be nice for a stroll—though since majestic Mount Io is so close by, I definitely recommend visiting that too.

Buffet-style dining is common at Hotels, but I was amazed that this buffet also came with generous servings of assorted seafood. Everything was delicious, and I ended up eating too much. There was also a great variety of desserts, which made it even more enjoyable. That day, I went to the Tulip Festival in Yubetsu Town—after seeing the beautiful flowers, breathing in the fresh air, and enjoying a wonderful meal, it became a truly memorable day.

The location was great, and the bed was large and very comfortable. The complimentary breakfast had a good variety of options and was very satisfying. I would like to stay here again.

From check-in to the room, everything went smoothly, and the Onsen, coffee, newspapers, breakfast, and parking were all free. There were also plenty of dinner options at the places you recommended, and we were very satisfied. We’ll be switching from other Business Hotels! The staff at check-in and in the breakfast area were very friendly. Thank you.

It was a wonderful Hotel nestled in nature. We relaxed on 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.

It was as delicious as rumored. The wine selection was excellent, and everything—from the bread to the desserts—was outstanding.

The Room was small, but the Onsen was excellent. The late-night soba was also delicious.

Dinner and breakfast included: Seiryukan, 8-tatami Japanese-style room — JPY 32,400 for 2 adults One dish after another came out—items like chilled pumpkin soup and eggplant aspic that are hard to make at home—and there were quite a lot of them. Everything was delicious, and both the quality and quantity were more than sufficient. The breakfast buffet wasn’t as lavish as dinner, but there was a good variety, and I had no major complaints about the taste. The “Meditation Sauna” was excellent. It’s dark inside with piano music playing very softly, creating a great atmosphere. The temperature seems slightly lower than a typical sauna, so you can take your time and enjoy it slowly. The other “Casual Sauna” is a standard sauna with automatic löyly. Both cold baths use natural spring water and are nicely cold—ideal for sauna lovers. This stay was mainly for wild bird photography. Driving slowly from the Accommodation along the prefectural road via Tsubetsu Pass to Lake Kussharo, we spotted birds such as grey wagtails, Hokkaido rock ptarmigan, and white’s thrush from the car windows, making for an enjoyable birdwatching trip. I do wish the room rate were just a bit lower, but given recent inflation that may be unavoidable. Considering what you get for dinner, I think they’re doing an impressive job.

It was a clean Hotel conveniently located in front of the station. Parking was free. We stayed in a twin Room. The Room was spacious and had chairs and a table. The view from the window was wonderful, with sights such as Mt. Rausu visible.

Considering the price, I was satisfied. The meals were also delicious. I also appreciated having a large public bath.

My flight arrived at Memanbetsu Airport at 18:30. I wanted to order dinner as well, but it seemed I would need to finish eating by 20:00, so I decided not to. Since nearby restaurants close early, I ended up having a convenience store bento for dinner. The Haseko Mart bento was really delicious. Highly recommended.

With extra time in our itinerary for an Eastern Hokkaido trip, we looked for an Accommodation at the last minute and made a Reservation just before arrival after being told there were vacancies. We had planned to have dinner at a nearby restaurant, but there weren’t many within walking distance, so we stopped by a supermarket a few minutes away by car before check-in, bought food, and ate in the Room. The next morning, we used the free breakfast. The Annex Building 2 we were shown to was new. While the Room wasn’t very large, the side table and foldable baggage rack were extremely useful. The utilities were spotless, and best of all, having a separate bathroom with a washing area was wonderful. (If I had to ask for one thing, it would be nice if there were a bath bucket set.) Breakfast the next day was free and could also be taken back to your Room. You choose between two types of side-dish boxes (with slightly different contents) and pack as much rice as you like; there was also salad (available until it runs out), miso soup, powdered soups, furikake seasoning packets, instant coffee, and tea & black tea bags—an impressive selection that felt almost too good for something free. The parking area was spacious as well—excellent value for money! A Hotel I’d happily recommend and would like to use again if I have the chance.

Having a convenience store next door was very helpful. There were also izakayas nearby, so we enjoyed exploring the area a bit while deciding on dinner.

I frequently stay here as I often have work in Hokkaido that requires staying the night before. The price is higher compared to a regular Route Inn, but the Room and meals are better, so overall satisfaction is high.
