This hotel was a last minute addition to our trip. It's super close to some great hikes, set in a quiet onsen town and near a ropeway to get up to the top of the nearby mountains for amazing views. Food options in the hotel were many... so everyone was happy. Overall, loved our stay here!!! They even had a bingo game which we joined in... pretty funny. I won and gave my prize away. Onsen were also super nice!!! Oh, and the sound of the river all night was so soothing while we slept!!! Loved the Sounkyo Onsen Choyo Resort.

Great Location for the Ice Festival

The included dinner and breakfast was very good. The buffet dinner had alot of choices and so did the breakfast.The location of the hotel is ideal for the Sounkyo Waterfall Ice Festival which is only a 10minute walk from the hotel. We also liked the hotel shuttle bus provided from Sapporo, very convenient.

Good, but sister hotel better

Overall a nice experience - we went half board and both breakfast and dinner were good. They have a sister hotel that allows you to have dinner there, or visit the onsen. Both dinner and onsen were better in their sister hotel. Good location to the mountain and easy walking to the cable car for mountain access. Next time, we will stay in the sister hotel

Very Nice Stay

after my wife did a thorough research and reading every reviews, we made a decision to stay at this resort hotel. We were very pleased with out decision. Everything exceeded expectation plus the therapeutic benefit of curing chronic back pain was gone after staying here. The bed was very comfortable and onsen water is of top quality and 2 different variety. We had a great stay and service was great. Half board dinner and breakfast were great.

Room a little dated but clean and functional. Not many staff speak English but we managed. The buffet spreads for breakfast and dinner was above average but catered to tour groups. The onsen both indoor and outdoor was good. My only gripe is when many people are using the water at the same time, the room bathroom water pressure drops to a trickle, even having no water at times. This only happens when bathers use the onsen showers in big numbers.
