Hot Springs Hotels in Hokkaido, Japan

Location: Great, it's near the city center so it's convenient to go anywhere. Cleanliness: Clean and tidy. Facilities: Well-equipped, but the hot spring requires an additional 1000 yen fee. Service: The front desk offers Chinese-speaking staff, and there's a sky bar on the top floor where you can enjoy the night view.

I booked a standard room and was given a high floor on the 28th, which offered a fantastic view. The hotel's decor is very practical, and the huge windows provide an excellent view. The hotel service is absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend purchasing the hotel breakfast; the 35th-floor restaurant offers a stunning view, and the breakfast food itself is also outstanding. The only minor drawback is that there's construction below the south-facing rooms, leading to a bit of noise during the day. I assume north-facing rooms would have a similar issue due to the JR line. The window soundproofing is fine, but the design of the emergency escape device seems to allow noise into the room.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It looked like it wasn't far from the JR station, but we arrived on a day with a heavy blizzard – something I, as someone from the south, had never experienced before. Just those few traffic lights left us utterly exhausted by the time we reached the hotel. Before checking out, we specifically called taxis. The minimum fare was 700 yen, and since we had a lot of luggage, we needed two cars. This was the only taxi company in Hakodate, Donan Taxi, that didn't charge a service fee for calling a cab, and the front desk was very helpful in arranging it for us. Upon check-in, you definitely need to read the instructions. Used towels and bath towels can be exchanged at the front desk, but there's an additional charge of 200 yen for each extra towel. The hotel's only ice machine is in the convenience store on the first floor. The hotel breakfast was fantastic! The seafood changed daily – sweet shrimp on the first day, salmon on the second, plus fresh shrimp tempura every day. The miso soup was delicious too. The room even had a washing machine, which is incredibly convenient for families on long trips. We stayed on the 13th floor, and the ocean view was incredibly soothing. There's a beach not far from the hotel, and even in such cold weather, people were out surfing. The hotel's large public bath is also great; the women's bath is on the basement floor, and the men's is on the first floor. They use POLA toiletries. For this price, and with such a spacious room, you really can't go wrong!

The front desk service was excellent, with staff who spoke Chinese. They patiently explained how to get to the beach and even gave us a map 🗺️. The hotel's location is fantastic. You can spot it right away after exiting the JR station and turning left. It's also super convenient to get here from the airport by taking bus number 3, which drops you off at the JR station. The breakfast was plentiful, with sashimi, noodles, bread, fruit, fried chicken, and more. The milk tasted great. The restaurant offers outdoor views, so it was lovely to eat and gaze out the window while it snowed. The onsen ♨️ was decent, nothing spectacular but good enough. They provided Sekkisei skincare products, which are well-known. However, the toothbrush was a major downside. It was incredibly hard, so much so that it hurt my mouth when brushing. I strongly recommend the hotel replaces the toothbrushes❗️

I booked a triple room for a trip with my parents. The room wasn't huge, but the layout was very efficient and convenient. We were assigned a higher floor, so the view from the window was great and it wasn't noisy. What we were most satisfied with were the hotel's breakfast and hot springs. The hotel has three distinct restaurants, and the breakfast quality was truly excellent. We were lucky enough to stay for four nights, so we got to try breakfast at each restaurant, and every one of them deserves a 5-star rating. The only minor flaw (a personal preference) was that there was no freshly ground coffee; the coffee was served from a thermos, and the taste was slightly lacking. The hot springs are located on the 3rd floor of the hotel, and the environment is lovely. When we visited, there were very few people, allowing us to fully enjoy the hot springs and sauna.

Traveled with friends and we were very happy with the hotel; it was conveniently located for getting everywhere. Hakodate's million-dollar night view is definitely worth seeing. The hotel is also very close to Hakodate Station, and the onsen was great – a really comfortable stay.

This hotel is located on the 4th floor of the New Chitose Airport International Terminal. You can see the signs for the hotel on the 3rd floor of the international departure area. Just follow the signs and you'll spot the 'Library Cafe' on your right, up the escalator – that's the hotel entrance. If you have a luggage cart, you can enter through the 3rd-floor door and take the elevator up. The lobby is very spacious, and you can even take your luggage cart directly to your room, which is super convenient. The spa and hot springs are located right by the elevators on the 4th floor. The hot springs are open until 10 PM, so you can enjoy a late-night soak. The rooms are very large and new, with separate showers and bathtubs. I didn't use the shower in my room since I went to the hot springs instead. The room offered beautiful sunset and mountain views, as well as views of planes taking off and landing. The last flight departs around 7 PM, and the first one takes off around 8:30 AM, so it doesn't disturb your sleep. After checking in, it was very convenient to go shopping on the 2nd floor and have dinner on the 3rd floor. The next day, I checked out at 11 AM and could push my luggage cart directly to the check-in counter without any hassle. Highly recommended, I'll definitely be back!

Location was excellent. 5mins walk fr station. Surrounded with shops, restaurants, convenient stores and the morning market is just 3 mins walk away. Can see the harbour n mountains fr hotel room. Beautiful place. Hotel staffs friendly n helpful to my enquiries. Lots of seafood places to eat.

Our stay at Daiichi Takimotokan in Noboribetsu was truly unforgettable! It's just a 5-minute walk to Jigokudani (Hell Valley), and the outdoor onsen offers stunning views of the snowy mountains. They boast over thirty baths with five different spring qualities, all directly from the source. The Japanese-style rooms were spotless and comfortable, and the seafood buffet for breakfast and dinner was incredibly fresh and delicious. The staff were wonderfully kind and attentive. The charm of this century-old hot spring ryokan was definitely a highlight of our Hokkaido trip!

Super stay at this traditional onsen inn! It’s an easy 5 minutes walk from the tram stop and it is a peaceful and hospitable place to stay. We stayed for 2 nights with breakfast included (you have it in your room, the staff come to roll up your tatami 30 mins before - we just went to the onsen during this time) which was traditional Japanese style and delicious. The onsens are not too big but there are outdoor and indoor sections and perfectly adequate. The staff look after you warmly and we loved our experience of traditional Japanese culture here. Oh, and it’s near the Botanical Gardens where we saw monkeys bathing in the onsen.
