Find Best Otofuke Hotels

"This was my second stay at Douyang Pavilion; my first visit was in May last year, and I had a great experience. While the hotel isn't brand new, it's impeccably clean, both inside and out. The open-air onsen is small but exquisitely designed. We didn't book dinner at the hotel, but a yakiniku restaurant nearby was very convenient. The foot bath by the entrance is a unique feature. On a nice day, it's incredibly relaxing to grab a drink, snuggle in a blanket, and enjoy the river view. Sleeping on the tatami mats at night was also very comfortable. The absolute highlight is that you can set off fireworks right outside the hotel. They even sell them, and if you bring your own, you're welcome to use the lighters and buckets provided by the hotel. We only set off sparklers, though, and I'm not sure if larger fireworks are allowed, especially given the extensive grassy areas nearby."

"I booked dinner and breakfast and stayed in a tatami room. I highly recommend that Koreans try sleeping in a tatami room at least once during the summer. Although the building itself felt a bit dated due to its age, I experienced no discomfort during my stay. Perhaps because it was summer, there were few guests, so I was able to enjoy a quiet stay. It was very hot, but the air conditioning worked well, so I didn't feel the heat too much. Dinner was served as room service, and both the taste and quality were excellent. However, since we ate in the room, I think we need to be careful with ventilation. Breakfast was served in a dining-style setting and was a typical Japanese home-cooked meal. Again, the taste and quality were excellent."

"It was our first time staying with Kangetsuen 觀月苑 as we used to stay at Daiiichi Hotel 豆陽亭. The overall experience with 觀月苑 was excellent. From the moment we entered the hotel, we were welcomed by their staff. The front office people were very friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean with a panoramic river view. The buffet dinner and the buffet breakfast were exceeded our expectations. The food quality was exceptional. For sure we will return to this hotel for our next visit to Obihiro."

"I accidentally stayed at the Life Hotel! I like it so much😍It's very quiet, and the facilities and services are great! Suitable for leisure vacation! I only stayed for one night and still felt unsatisfied, and my family has been thinking about it all the time! Dinner and breakfast are also very good👌It is my favorite hotel in Hokkaido this time😍"

"The hotel is pretty big with 3 wings (building) linked together with plenty of car parking lots. The hotel looked dated but well maintained. There’s a shopping gallery @ lobby. Check in/check out is Smooth n fast. A female receptionist can speak mandarin （话语）maybe a Chinese descendent? There is nothing much to see and eat in the vicinity. It will b good to go for half board (dinner n breakfast), n to use the onsen before n after dinner, n before breakfast. The onsen is pretty big with a few indoor pools n a outdoor pool, all of good hot spring quality. The tatami room is spacious clean n need. There is good choices of food n desserts @ dinner n breakfast. "

"Its okay but the bath is very crowded always. Even when its suppose to be just for hotel guest there is still alot of people. Rooms are huge and clean though. And location will need a car i think."

"I stayed here on my first trip with my girlfriend. We arrived from Kushiro in less than two hours. The room was a Japanese-style room, spacious, and had a great atmosphere. After checking in, we headed straight to the evening buffet. We were able to eat sashimi, tempura, beef steak, braised pork, and more, and it was the most memorable buffet I've ever been to. After eating, we headed to the hot springs. We relaxed in the mall hot springs, which also had a sauna and an open-air bath. We had a few drinks and slept in our futons at night, which was a blissful time. When we woke up in the morning and went to the morning buffet, we had all-you-can-eat tobiko! There were many other delicious dishes, so we were happy from the morning. It's close to Obihiro city, so I highly recommend it."

"The best onsen experience I’ve had. The entire property is packed with care and kindness by the staff and fully equipped with everything you need from toiletries to happy hour. The kaiseki dinner was one of the best I’ve had - not only the food but also the setting and presentation. Incredible to use the next door hotels big onsen and the outdoor onsen was beautifully landscaped. The most gentle and intimate care of the staff really helped me relax and unwind the years hard work and stress. My mother very much loved as well. Thank you Sanyoan. I look forward to coming back soon 💖"
