Experience from check in to check out was great. We love the lounge area. The food was extensive and great ryokan like buffet. Love the experience. Thank you.
If I could I would probably give this a 4.5. The staff was excellent, the room was large, clean and very comfortable. Parking was easy and it was in a good location.
We loved the personal soaking tub on our patio.
The only thing I would rate a bit lower would be the buffets. There was a lot of choices but for anyone that is picky or prefers a western style meal it’s going to be a bit challenging to eat. My wife and I had no issues but we always imagine traveling with friends that are a bit picky and this would have been hard to eat at.
Overall though it’s a very nice hotel and we would absolutely stay there again if we come back
Nice hotel communal areas are lovely and well maintained, with a lot of more rural Japanese hotels they all seem to be partially renovated, communal areas always modernised and well maintained however bedrooms and bathrooms especially need updating. Breakfast buffet was ok not really much variety and always the same. Dinner buffet good and rotation of foods, we stayed 4 nights and on the 3rd + 4th night served a special plate by the chef as a gift for continuous stay. I would avoid visiting at weekends as very crowded and onsen and dining areas noisy and busy- staff very attentive especially waiting staff in dining hall took a shine to our baby girl. Onsen nice and clean and massage service also very good.
The staff were really nice and friendly. The room was spacious and clean. The lobby, lounge, and dining area were also nicely decorated.

Overall average - needs upgrading and improvement
This hotel is very outdated. No charging USB port for electronic devices in the room.
The room is very big 37m2 but the toilet and shower areas are extremely small.
Even hard to turn around in the shower room to get change. No hooks to hang clothings in the shower room or bathroom or doors before shower.
The dinner buffet is rather mediocre. Spans a lot of area but the quality not very good.
The crabs provided in the buffet not tasty. Luckily we paid extra to get a Japanese hairy crab (10000yen) and it was tasty!! The sashimi did not look fresh at all. The buffet session is a bit short given the time spent on hotpot making.
The spa was excellent, spacious and comfy - particularly the outdoor one. Cleansing and Skincare items provided were good.
The buffet breakfast was ok but some items resemble those in the buffet dinner
Wonderful hotel with everything you need. you need a car to get into Abashiri but the hotel is really high quality. The real log fire in the lounge in the evening is perfect.
People are super kind, nice facilities and room is super fancy with a reasonable price!
I will definitely visit this hotel again someday! Thank you! You are the best hotel in Hokkaido ;)
Ahreum
Good environment. It should include the public bath,
however, we had to pay for the public hot tub( they call public bath).

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
We went in May, on top of hill, far from anything. Reception area is not grand, inside area is comfortable. Building & faculties are very old. Bowls and plates are stuck together in restaurants,
Pluses: 1. The best thing about this hotel is the dinner buffet, included in the price. It was exceptional. There was a large variety of meat, seafood, vegetables, starches, and desserts. The grilled beef was fantastic. It was butter soft, and almost melted in your mouth. 2..The rooms are clean and spacious and have an understated elegant classic feeling typical of Japanese esthetics.
Minuses: 1. Service here is mediocre. The staff seems like they’re just going through the motions, without a true spirit of omotenashi. 2. The bathroom felt very old (not classic), maybe dating to the 1980s. Turning one of the knobs in the bathroom sink provided no water at all — how can the maids not notice this and report it? Do they not clean the sink? 3. The room: desperately need blackout curtains, especially since the sun rises at 345am! It was so bright we could not sleep. Just awful. 4. We found a dirty pair of reading glasses someone had left behind on the nightstand. How can housekeeping miss this?
Overall: This was probably once a
phenomenal resort. It could be again, with some updating, better maintenance and better service. But in its current state, it’s mediocre and overpriced. Come for the dinner, not the room.
