A nice stopover on way from Niseko to Sapporo. Lovely large rooms. Did not love everything from the kaiseki dinner but the beef sukiyaki was good. Booked the private cypress bath so that we could bathe as a family but i would skip this next time and head straight for the public bath on the high level - large with a view of the forest.

Free shuttle bus takes you from sapporo station in an hour to your huge room. Perhaps 500 square feet. Marvelous kaiseki dinners. We had the shiori kaiseki the first night and the seafood kaiseki with A5 wagyu beef the second night. Superb. However it is served in the resturant. Not in your room or in a private room. Buffet breakfasts are very good. Therefore correctly priced as such. Nice onsens. Only other drawback is not their fault- not much to do in Jozankei without a car which we did not have. If I was ever going back to Jozankei, I would stay there.

Must go. Either winter, spring, or autumn is great.

We had great time in Hanamomiji for ryokan and onsen. The facility seems old but maintained well. We wish the staff can speak English and provide resources for foreign travelers.

This Onsen town is just 1-hour drive from Sapporo city. I would use "full-on" to describe this onsen trip because this hotel has a number of Onsen baths inside the hotel complex. So before and after dinner are full of onsen bathing activities. Nevertheless, the hotel lobby has an area for relaxation with drinks and music. In-room steamed onsen bun is fun as welcome treat.

Disappointed about the free shuttle bus service. I have tried to book the service, however the staff said it’s full. Also, we have dinner at the hotel, all the dishes were served at the same time instead of served one by one. The hot spring is quite good. The room is very big.

Great experience or Japanese Ryokan, definitely recommendable.

It was really good and I can strongly recommend this hotel to family traveler. The dinner and the breakfast tastes good. Overall I am very satisfied with this hotel. One thing that I missed was the fact that I could use the 12th floor's onsen for women because of the construction.

The facilities including sauna are really nice and enjoyed good refresh. However, the room has strong stench !! I can't stay in the room and can't sleep well. Maybe, it is smoking room . The guest should ask non-smoking room when you book.

Really nice stay in beautiful onsen spot on Hokkaido. The hotel is in great spot for explor8ng, hiking, relaxing and enjoying onsen experience. The hot spring area is just to the east of Sapporo is easy to get to by car or bus. The hotel was exceptional, free drink area, books, magazines, views, exceptional onsen sand food was delicious. The staff was very helpful including reserving ferry ride back to mainland. The area has much to do, we explored, hiked, rode our motorcycle and found neat places, both local and fancy to eat. We will be back.

A nolstagic trip back to Hokkaido, last time I visited was in 1988!! The hotel is located in a small hotspring town next to a fast flowing river. My husband has never stayed at a ryokan style hotel before, so was surprised not to see a bed in the room! The tatami mat room is spacious with windows. The public sex segregated bathing area is spacious and with an outdoor soaking pool, very enjoyable. The kaiseki cuisine dinner was just amazing; with a mini hotpot, and mini rice pot cooking before you. The dozen or so mini starters and entree dishes were all delicate presented and tasted just as good. The breakfast was adequate with Japanese and Western selection of food. We took the 30 minutes circular walk from the hotel to walk both sides of the river and to cross the bridges to see the town more closely. I visited the small temple at the head of the road leading back to the hotel and made my wish. To pray, first pull the bell to wake up the god first. Stand in front of the deity statue, drop money into the donation box. Then bow twice; clap your palms together in front of chest, and make your wish at the same time, bow once more to conclude the praying ritual. Bow one last time before leaving the temple for respect. May your wish come true!!
