Hotel Goryukan

In conclusion, this Accommodation offered outstanding value for money!I had made separate one-night Reservations for different Rooms, but when availability opened up, I was able to stay in the same Room for two nights.I chose the Deluxe Japanese-style Room, and upgrading was definitely the right decision.The first thing I did after arriving was head straight to the Onsen. The water quality was incredible—silky and pleasantly smooth—and it genuinely felt like it left my skin refreshed. The washing area is spacious, and the indoor bath is more than large enough. The open-air bath is a bit smaller, but the water was so clean and soothing that it didn’t matter at all. I would happily come back just for this Onsen.The meals were also excellent.Although it’s a buffet, it wasn’t the typical “hotel buffet” with mass-produced dishes. Instead, each item felt carefully prepared. There aren’t countless options, but both the taste and quality were more than satisfying.I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay of two nights, and the initial plated dish (separate from the buffet) featured different ingredients on each day—both were delicious. Some buffet items also changed on day two, so I never felt bored even with dinner twice in a row.The wood-fired pizza was especially good—I ended up eating too much on both days. Honestly, if you ate this dinner every day you’d definitely gain weight (in a good way). It was nothing like an ordinary hotel buffet that simply reheats frozen food. Breakfast was just as good.The view from the Room was amazing as well, which made me even happier that I chose the Deluxe Japanese-style Room.By luck I was on the top floor (5th floor), with a full view of Happo-One Ski Resort—including the ski jump—so it felt fantastic. I honestly think this Accommodation has one of the best vantage points in the area in terms of seeing over the entire resort and how close it feels to the mountains. Switching to two nights in this Deluxe Japanese-style Room was absolutely worth it. If you’re unsure which side to choose, I highly recommend a ski-resort-facing Room.The Accommodation itself may be somewhat older, but there wasn’t a single place where it felt old (or dirty). If anything, it feels very clean throughout. Even my window had been thoroughly cleaned, so I could enjoy their proud ski-resort view through spotless glass.All staff members were kind and welcoming with genuine smiles, which made my stay even better.I would absolutely like to stay here again.

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days on a family summer vacation. The exterior is not a new Hotel, but the lobby and baths felt simple overall and left a very clean impression. Our guest Room had very large windows facing the satoyama side, with an absolutely wonderful mountain view. The Room was uncluttered and simple, and the large windows were spotless. The Onsen was spacious, and both the open-air bath and sauna were clean and very relaxing.The Hakuba Happo Pond ropeway and the bus terminal were also within a 10-minute walk, so the location was convenient.It was a wonderful Hotel, but perhaps because the meals are geared toward Western cuisine, we felt there were not many Japanese options at either breakfast or dinner. The rice and mushroom miso soup was very delicious. Overall, we were very satisfied—this was a lovely Hotel.
