It's a very quiet part of the town but as breakfast is included. It made the stay more manageable. It is very near the cruise ships and the rooms were very comfortable. There's also a good selection of laundry and onsen facilities. Wouldn't mind staying here again.

We had a fantastic two nights in October. The staff were incredibly helpful and in particular the manager was wonderful after our car broke down - and helped us out brilliantly. We had a lake view room which was brilliant and the rooms are wonderful. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel. Lake Akan is also beautiful and wlel worth a visit ! 5 Stars

I spent one night. Everything is wonderful. Very cosy decor. New, clean and tidy. We can choose to go to another bigger Onsen nearby with shuttle bus. Yet still the Onsen here is already good enough for us. Recommend this medium size hotel then the larger ones which are crowed.

This is a nice place to stay. The bedrooms were well maintained and the beds comfortable. The staff was very attentive. We had breakfast and dinner included, and the food was of good quality. The onset was good, however worn around the edges a bit. The town is a bit run down (like many of the small towns in Hokkaido), but the area is fabulous if you like walks, hikes, and nature. We rented a car and used the hotel like a base for going on walks and hikes, and for this it is perfect. We would stay here again.

The buffet was excellent! We had a wonderful view of Lake Akan from our room. The staff was very friendly. An Ainu village was about12 minutes walk away. One issue we had was the bathroom. It was very small! I am petite and even it was tight for me. Otherwise, everything was great! We like the hotel very much!

Best view of Lake Akan & Ainu Culture village

The hotel position facing Lake Akan & walking distance to the ferry terminal is top attraction. Dinner & Breakfast were really great, food & dishes were of good quality and fresh. Two comments were that, the hotel does not have parking facilities. Guests need to take a shuttle bus (free of charge) to a public car park 400m-500m away. Also, hotel probably due for refurbishment to give a fresh look.

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was beautiful. The morning breakfast a must. The evening dining at Bar De Pan in the hotel was very accommodating and delicious. My wife loved the hot spa and message chairs. The town is magical. The Ainu village and shows were fascinating and the people very kind. The Kamuy Lumina (Enchanted Night Walk at Lake Akan) is a must. We took the shuttle from Sapporo and back to Chitose. This was also effortless and a great way to see the countryside. Thank you
