Oku Jozankei Onsen Kasho Gyoen

The staff’s hospitality, attentive care down to the smallest details, delicious meals, and well-maintained Facility all made this an outstanding Ryokan with nothing to fault. The Onsen was wonderfully smooth, free-flowing from the source, and because the temperature is relatively low, you can enjoy bathing many times. We had a truly elegant stay. Highly recommended. Thank you very much to all the staff—we would love to visit again.

This Accommodation is flawless in every respect—location, dining, Facility, and staff hospitality. We took the free Shuttle Service from Sapporo Station. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with warm smiles from the staff, which immediately heightened our excitement. As soon as we stepped inside, everything felt perfectly curated: a lobby with a fireplace (lit at night), a library displaying books with covers that made you want to pick them up, and beyond that, a pond visible through glass with trees just beginning to turn color. Above all, the hospitality of the staff tied everything together, creating an exceptionally comfortable atmosphere. Both dinner and breakfast were among the best meals we’ve had at any Accommodation so far. We were told that this Onsen is gentle enough that you can soak repeatedly without feeling unwell; however, it was disappointing that the windows cannot be opened, so I overheated quickly. I understand it is enclosed in glass to keep insects out, but I would have loved to soak while enjoying a pleasant breeze. We also returned by the free Shuttle Service, and the farewell greeting from the lead staff member was excellent as well. It was a wonderful Accommodation that added something special to our final day of travel.
