The room is clean. The toilet is still old! The open-air bath was also hot and spacious. The rice is a buffet, but it's ok.

This time I stayed in a Japanese-Western style room (the room has both Japanese-style and box-spring beds), which accommodates four people. The room was very clean and spacious. The Japanese-style room has a door and does not interfere with the Western-style space. It is very suitable for travelers who need to go to bed early. The room is very clean and tidy, every corner is spotless. As for the food, I think it's quite satisfactory. I really like the white porridge for breakfast. Maybe it's because of the difference in eating habits. This is the only restaurant that offers porridge during this trip.

I used it on a tour, and it turned out to be an unexpectedly (excuse me) good hotel. The rooms are clean and decorated with innovative paintings. Several of the buildings are named after Hokkaido animals such as bears and foxes (?), the elevators have pictures of each animal, and the hallways are also decorated with many pictures of animals. The staff were energetic and responded to my questions with a smile and in a refreshing manner.Of course, the buffet was very Hokkaido-like, and I was satisfied with the crab legs. I would like to come again if I have a chance. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo.

1. The room has a sense of history, but is very clean.2. There are not many meal items, but they taste good.3. If you happen to encounter a study tour group when you check in, the hotel will help divert them.4. Overall, it’s great value for money. It’s more recommended if you don’t pursue hotel facilities and just want a comfortable night.

Stayed in June 2022. It's an ordinary tourist hotel, although it's old, spacious, and has decent facilities. The sunset could be seen beautifully from a slightly elevated place.

The room is large and clean. You can also use the public bath, and the breakfast buffet has a wide variety of items. I'm very satisfied with everything.

The room has a unit bath and the toilet is quite small.It comes with a souvenir.There were many prepared food items, but none of them were to my taste. Unfortunately, the variety of sashimi I was expecting was not as wide as I expected. However, the herring and salmon sashimi were fresh and delicious. The fisherman's seafood bowl was also delicious. Desserts were plentiful. It was especially nice that the ice cream was scooped by the staff. Breakfast also had something like cut salmon, and it was delicious.There were many women eating alone, so I felt comfortable even if I was traveling alone.The hot springs have indoor baths and open-air baths, one with hot water flowing straight from the source, and the other with circulation to a suitable temperature. It felt good, but there were so many mosquitoes that I got bitten like a barrage while taking a bath in the open air. It was nice to have a sauna, although it was small. (No water bath)The guidance given by the staff at the front door was incomprehensible. I found a parking lot and was about to go park my car when I raised my hand and asked if it was valet parking. When I drove up to the front door, I was told that my luggage and passengers had to get out, but since I was alone, the staff just left without saying anything.I think the price is reasonable considering the price compared to surrounding hotels.

The dinner buffet was delicious, but I was a little disappointed because I was a little late for the hotel check-in time. I would like to use it again.
