3.8 km from Lake Toya in Lake Toya, Lake Toya Tsuruga Resort HIKARINOUTA provides accommodation with access to a sauna, hot spring bath and spa facilities. Featuring an open-air bath, this 5-star ryokan has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom. There is a restaurant serving French cuisine, and free private parking is available. Dinner and breakfast were amazing both French and Japanese. We are vegetarian so chef prepared special meals for us. The best rooms are in floors 3 and 4 where you have open view of the lake. We don’t recommend taking the deluxe rooms as there are only 2, and you might end up in the second floor with partial view of the lake.

Set in Otofuke, 11 km from Obihiro Station, Tokachigawa Moor Onsen Seijyakubow offers accommodation with a sauna, a hot spring bath and spa facilities. With an open-air bath, the 5-star ryokan has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. There is a restaurant serving Japanese cuisine, and free private parking is available. From the shuttle pickup at Obihiro station to drop off, Seijyakubow far exceeded any expectations I had for onsen/ryokans. Our greeter was Ms. K. Shoji. She provided a thorough explanation of the property & use of the facilities. She exuded a cheerful warmth that made us feel welcomed. The furo just outside of the room was private yet in view of a snowy courtyard. The kaiseki dinner & breakfast were traditional & well customized to our party esp for me w/shellfish allergies. After dinner, the onsen provided a free shuttle to an illumination site, which was quite dramatic. From the attention to detail, service & hospitality, Tokahigawa Moor Onsen Seijyakubow was a memorable experience.

The ryokan will provide guests with air-conditioned units with a wardrobe, a kettle, a fridge, a minibar, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a hot tub. Some units also have a well-fitted kitchenette equipped with a dishwasher, a microwave, and kitchenware. At the ryokan, units are fitted with bed linen and towels.

An Asian breakfast is available at the ryokan. There is a coffee shop, bar and lounge. The ryokan is located in a geothermal area, with a number of hot springs nearby for guests to relax in. Beautiful, picturesque stay in the mountains of Sapporo. The staff were professional and organized, allowing us to stay in their lobby with a scenic view of the snow, river, and mountains while we waited for check in. We were provided with local snacks and drinks and our room was ready 30 minutes early. The dinner was delicious and well-portioned, favorites being the steamed rockfish and pumpkin brûlée. Staff were attentive throughout the meal and offered to refill our rice whenever we were out. The rooms were spacious, clean, and stylish. We booked the suite with a private onsen and it was wonderful to soak and watch the snow fall outside. The staff also helped us reserve our taxi to the airport after check out and the overall process was very smooth.

32 km from Sapporo Station in Jozankei, Okujozankei Onsen Kasho Gyoen offers accommodation with access to a hot spring bath. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The ryokan also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. I was specifically looking for a remotely located hotel with ensuite onsen to finish off my work-vacation in Hokkaido and this was perfect. I had a big window that looked out into the beautiful winter scenery that I could also enjoy from my bed and the onsen. They fed me such good food that my palate is forever spoiled (for the better). The staff are super helpful and all very lovely. They helped me book a taxi to go straight to New Chitose Airport and told me beforehand how much the whole trip would cost which was great for me budgeting. However, there was a toll fee the taxi driver had to pay for himself out of pocket (which I don't understand because that cost was incurred during his job) and although I was able to pay the taxi fare with my visa credit card, he wouldn't accept my card as a payment for the toll, only cash (which I didn't have..). Maybe in the future, the hotel can include this in the instructions for other people. All in all, great experience!

Set 28 km from Sapporo Station, Kuriya Suizan offers 5-star accommodation in Jozankei and features an open-air bath, a garden and a bar. This ryokan offers free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. The ryokan has a hot spring bath and a lift. This was the best onsen experience I've ever had. Room was amazing with a sauna and onsen actually in the room. However, it was the staff and the chef that made the stay the best ever! They took into consideration an allergy my son had to certain food type and went above and beyond to accommodate. They were all wonderful.

Featuring a garden and views of sea, Otaru Geihinkan is a recently renovated ryokan set in Otaru, 8.6 km from Otaru Station. This 3-star ryokan offers luggage storage space. There is a restaurant serving French cuisine, and free private parking is available. The distance from Otaru town was 15 minutes drive away. This property is literally located at the coastal line, a fascinating view from the room balcony and dining area. Breakfast was included, and it was surprisingly appetising as if served at a fine dining restaurant. The property operated since 2023, so everything is in a very good state. Everyone entering the place will need to take off their shoes at the reception, only allowed in their house slippers. There is individual r.emote to control the airon, heater (even for the bed). I liked the high ceiling in the room, that has a loft area to accommodate 2 more persons if needed. The service staff was wonderful and helpful extending help to us with our luggage. It was so relaxing watching the waves and seagulls busy at the shore.
