I travel around Japan every year and have stayed in many Japanese hotels, both cheap and high-end. I am quite familiar with Japanese hotels. This hot spring hotel is quite disappointing. The location is remote and the opening time is long. I am mentally prepared for this. However, many hotels in Japan that have been open for a long time are also well maintained. This one is visibly old. The photos are much better than the scene. I also saw their photos online before and thought it was acceptable, because there are really no good hotels in Sounkyo, but this one is worse than I imagined. 1. Breakfast and dinner are buffets. Only on special holidays will there be a kaiseki cuisine that is usually available in hot spring hotels. The buffet varieties are average, but it is the first time that I can see flying insects in the breakfast of a Japanese hotel. 2. The hotel rooms and corridors are relatively old. The facilities and hygiene of the rooms are poor in Japan. The male and female areas of the hot springs are exchanged every day, but there is only one open-air hot spring, and the facilities in the hot springs are also relatively old. 3. To go back and forth from Sapporo Station to the hotel, you can make an appointment for the hotel's shuttle bus in advance, which is the one in the photo, but it is charged, 2,500 yen per person one-way. There was originally a shuttle bus to Asahikawa Station, but it was cancelled as long as there were no reservations from guests a few days in advance. So if you say you need it when you arrive at the hotel, they will not arrange to open the shuttle bus, and if you do not make an appointment for the shuttle bus in advance after booking the room, the number will be limited and it will be booked out. In this regard, the hotel will not confirm with the agent in advance, and the agent will not remind the guests. This place does not have a shuttle bus and you can transfer to public transportation by yourself, which is very inconvenient. 4. There is nothing near the hotel. The nearest convenience store is a long walk away. The Daxue Hotel opposite is better than theirs. Although the hotel is also old, it has its own izakaya at night, as well as a bakery, and the hot springs will have better scenery than this one. 5. There is nothing to see in Sounkyo at this time. Generally speaking, the location of this place is inconvenient, and the hotel facilities are poor. You can only go there during the most beautiful time period. However, there are many places with good scenery in Hokkaido, and there are many places to see maple leaves. If you don't like tossing, you don't need to come here.

The hotel facilities are great. I was a little worried after reading the reviews saying it was old, but it didn't feel old at all. There are foreign workers among the waiters, which is very convenient for communicating in Chinese and English among Hokkaido hotels. The buffet dinner is very good and it is very close to the Kurodake Cable Car.

Choosing a hotel for dinner is an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner with various styles. It was my first time to cook my own kamameshi, which was quite special. The ice cream in the restaurant is rich and delicious

The hotel is clean, tidy and comfortable. The hot spring is very good. The two hotels can take hot springs in each other's rooms. It is good to have a hotel car to pick up and drop off. The buffet is also good.

The hotel facilities are relatively old and the hygiene is average, but the scenery of Sounkyo is really nice. It snowed heavily when I went there, and it was nice to play in the powder snow for an afternoon and then go back to the hotel to soak in the hot springs. The buffet variety is okay. The Ice Falls Festival is a small ice sculpture park, and you can rent tires for skating.

The room is comfortable, the location is convenient, the hot spring facilities are first-class, and the food is of high quality
