Top 5-Star Hotels in Chitose

the location is 8min walk from JR Chitose Station, guests with heavy luggage may consider calling a taxi. The place is quite antique and come with fews plug outlet. However, the room is spacious and the staff was so nice helping arranging a taxi arrangement to the airport the next day. The morning sunrise view from my room was so beautiful.

By far the best hotel we have stayed in our first Hokkaido ski trip! We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel, and I can’t compliment it enough! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Andrea Antonio (I hope I spelled the name right!) who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. He even helped us arrange a lovely dinner and a traditional tea ceremony, which added such a special touch to our trip. The hotel itself is stunning, especially during the Christmas season! They had an incredible display in the lobby — a real cookie house, which was so impressive. Andrea told us it was built by their in-house pastry chef, and I can’t even begin to describe the level of detail in it. Truly an amazing work of art, and huge credit goes to those talented hands behind it. Our room was fantastic — the highlight being the automatic blinds that you could control just by tapping our room card! The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless with a luxurious bathtub. Though we didn’t get to use the tub (since we were enjoying the onsen), it was a nice touch. Speaking of the onsen, it was a real treat! We loved spending time there, though there was a small hiccup when the water ran out after 11pm. It wasn’t a major issue for us, but it would’ve been nice if it had been available for a little longer. Overall, the service was impeccable, the room was fantastic, and the onsen was super relaxing. I would definitely stay here again if we’re ever back in Sapporo!

From the moment we arrived at Mizu no Uta, Tsuruga Resort at Lake Shikotsu, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquil luxury. Valet parking greeted us, and we were swiftly escorted to a path lined with zen music, setting the tone for a stay where every detail exudes serenity. Upon entering the reception, a majestic wooden carving of an owl, a powerful symbol of protection in Ainu culture, watched over us. In a delightful and intimate touch, we were asked to remove our shoes – a gesture that immediately made the resort feel like a sanctuary. Walking barefoot on soft wooden floors in such a refined environment felt like the ultimate indulgence. Live harp music floated through the air as we were led past a live fireplace, its warm flames inviting guests to roast marshmallows, adding a whimsical, yet homely feel to the elegant surroundings. The staff, attentive yet discreet, escorted us to our room via separate lifts, ensuring our luggage was seamlessly handled. Entering the room, we were struck by its sheer spaciousness. A half-sized fridge, thoughtfully included, perfectly stored all our chilled treats from the road trip. But the true star was the view: an uninterrupted panorama of lush greenery, stretching out to meet the serene waters of Lake Shikotsu. The combination of the stunning scenery and the luxurious in-room robe made us feel like chaebols, lounging in opulence and shielded from the cool lakeside breeze. As for the dining, the buffet at Mizu no Uta is nothing short of spectacular. Where many buffets struggle to balance quantity and quality, this resort excels at both. Highlights included a live dessert station and a live pizza-making corner, where thin-crust pizzas, surprisingly better than those from Furano’s famed Cheese Factory, were expertly prepared. The spread also featured an incredible assortment of sashimi – the freshest I encountered during my 1.5-week trip across various hotels. The salmon and mackerel, both raw and uniquely marinated in glass jars, were exceptional. The hot dishes maintained the same elevated standard. A simple tomato-based clam spaghetti was transformed by the quality of ingredients, while even the sautéed kailan was enhanced with the addition of Parma ham. Local produce, such as the fresh broccoli used in the cream-based dishes, lent an unmistakable brightness to each bite. The combination of Japanese and Western cuisine was balanced beautifully, with every plate delivering a sense of thoughtful craftsmanship. Of course, no stay at a lakeside resort would be complete without a visit to the onsen bath. While slightly smaller than the one at Lake Akan, the onsen here is far superior in cleanliness and upkeep. Conveniently, the bath is stocked with towels, so there’s no need to carry your own from the room. The experience is further enhanced by a sauna illuminated with soothing blue light, adding a layer of tranquility to the ritual. The open-air onsen is another highlight. For those who appreciate the purity of nature, the bath even features drinkable Lake Shikotsu water, renowned as one of Japan’s top 100 spring waters. This thoughtful touch, coupled with the stunning views, creates an immersive experience that is equal parts restorative and luxurious.

The hotel is very good. The room is big and comfortable. The service is very good. There are many free meals and drinks. And free afternoon tea. It is best to book dinner in advance. The surrounding environment is very good and quiet. In short, I will come back to rest again.

Within 10mins walk distance to JR station, AEON store. Large lobby with plenty seat in waiting area. Fast check-in and check-out. Bus station to airport just within 1 min walk The room is large

The private bath is fabulous, and the service is great. However, the night I spent here was not happy at all. Imagine that you were very tired and sleep sweetly at 10pm, the tv in your bedroom automatically turned on at 2am, how creepy that is! Please note that I haven’t use the tv in the bedroom before, and the tv screen showed that a reserved program is about to start, that’s the reason why the tv is on! Here’s a message for the one who in charge of the hotel, please please please check the tv so that no one else will go through the same nightmare that I had before!

This hotel is actually a resort hotel, and its location is beside Lake Shikotsu in National Park. If you catch up with the good season, the scenery there is absolutely good. The hotel is on the hill, very quiet, the service is super good, treat you as a VIP. Dining is authentic Japanese-style meals, the quality of materials is extremely high, if it is a holiday and leisure, it should be a good place. The only disadvantage is that the traffic is limited because the hotel does not provide buses to pick up at the airport or train station. There is a municipal bus stop near the hotel. It takes ten minutes to walk from the hotel down the mountain to the station. 5 minutes by car, this is perhaps the lowest cost a hotel can do. However, the journey from the city bus to the train station or the airport requires tourists to bear their own costs for a single trip of 1300 yen. The transportation costs in Japan are expensive. It may be like this. It takes less than an hour on the road. This is One. Secondly, in addition to the high cost of city buses, the time limit is very large. There is no shuttle at 4:30 pm. Once you go out and miss this point, you want to return to the hotel, or if you want to go to the hotel on the first day, only If you can take a taxi, the cost will be higher, at least three times the cost of the bus. Unless it is self-driving, it is recommended.

Lake Shikotsu is the northernmost ice-free lake in Japan. It has a charming view. The area of the lake is more than ten times the size of West Lake in our country. It is surrounded by four large mountains and surrounded by virgin forests. There are not as many tourist groups as Lake Toya. It is atmospheric, quiet and beautiful. . It coincides with the opening of Lake Shikotsu Ice Sculpture Festival, 300 yen per person, three minutes walk, worth visiting at night. From the north gate of Sapporo Station, there is a white, blue and green wing bus that can pick you up to the hotel for a fee. The Italian cuisine for dinner is more delicious than I thought. There are eight hotels in total, and each family can reserve two outdoor baths for one hour each. As a hot spring hotel, the full suit of the waiter is a little weird. In fact, the restaurant owner changed his job to provide hotel services. The details are still different from the old hot spring hotel, and they are not listed one by one. A reminder, don’t live in Marukoma at Lake Shikotsu. It’s just a lonely hotel on the westernmost bank. There are dozens of Chinese tourists who flew out during the wing pick-up. There are no Japanese! There are densely packed hotels on the east bank, as well as the Ice Sculpture Festival, the cruise ship dock and the hot spring street to stroll around. If the weather is good, you can enjoy the sunset. To sum up, if Cuiming Pavilion can book the only lake-view hot spring room, it is worth it. If you can't book it, then consider Song of Water. I don't think it is cost-effective near 4k here.

My daughter and I had a fantastic stay here before our flight which was on the next day. Even though we had to take a smoking room (we booked quite last minute so no non-smoking rooms were left), the room didn't smell horrible at all which we were pleasantly surprised about. The room was a great size with 2 very comfortable beds and everything you needed for to freshen up and a complementary bottle of water. Reception were also very helpful and pleasant. I was also surprised by how quiet the room was considering we were at an airport terminal. Breakfast offered a great choice for all tastes and was efficient and tasty. We also loved the convenience of just having to wheel our cases to check in the following day.

Nice staff. Good location. 15 minutes walk to Chitose Station & Aeon. Provide airport transfer.
