Hotels in Jozankei Onsen, Sapporo

The hotel is so crowded and full of people (mostly local people). We waited 10-15 minutes I'm a queue everytime when we went for dinner/breakfast buffet, and then queued up again at counters before we got the food. The dining hall can hold a few hundred people and was in almost full capacity when. We visited. It was not a pleasant experience to us as we came to enjoy the onsen and food, but not to compete with the crowd. Onsen was average. Food was average and tasted like those prepared from food factory. Frankly speaking, I won't come for the second time despite the competitive price. Service was average and no smile on the face of the receptionist.

The overall experience was excellent. Slippers are required upon entering the inn, and the tatami mat flooring felt wonderfully clean and comfortable. We booked a room with a private indoor hot spring, which was incredibly convenient, allowing us to enjoy a soak whenever we pleased. The half-board plan was very practical. We stayed for two days, and each meal was different, which kept things fresh and exciting. There were complimentary snacks available near the dinner entrance, and they even offered free ramen as a late-night supper. Each day, our room was also replenished with complimentary drinks and snacks. If you're visiting Dingxishan for a hot spring getaway, I would definitely recommend this place. The only minor drawback was perhaps its location being quite close to a main road. My room and private indoor hot spring, at least, overlooked the main road, which wasn't very scenic.

If you drive there by yourself, it would be very inconvenient to take the bus. It was around 5 pm when we arrived. It was already dark. There was no one at the front desk. Maybe there was a shortage of manpower. There was only one service staff serving us that day. We waited for 5 days. It took about a minute to see the front desk clerk. He should have gone out to get our dinner, but the service was very considerate and he even took the initiative to help us carry our luggage upstairs👍🏼. The room was large, the hot spring was very comfortable, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious. , my daughter brought a lot of self-service snacks downstairs, we all thought it was very good, you can also watch Netflix, the hygiene is also very good, there are many sweaters and bathrobes 👍🏼

Love it so much!!! Very big and complete place to stay for relaxation on your holidays. Good views and comfortable rooms. A lot of Spaces to relax. Unluckily that my health is not suitable for onsen so I missed opportunity to use them. Pingpong room is interesting, I want to play if I wasn’t there alone. Good dinner and buffet breakfast, but would be much better if I can change beef to pork or other meats. Surprisingly, this hotel connects to Shika no Yu. Some facilities can be used together, so I roamed around and enjoyed a lot. An evening lounge to enjoy music and snacks was so good. I really wish to stay here again! Oh, one more thing, I had a nice pic from window to show you first snow of 2024!!

The location is very good, you can walk to nearby attractions and the station is nearby. The room is clean and sanitary, the view outside the window is beautiful, it is built along the stream, and the open-air hot spring view is even more beautiful. The Japanese breakfast is rich and delicious. A hotel worth recommending.

I want to know what I'm saying. I want to know, I want to know, I want to know Sorry. I like the fact that I can experience high quality food and enjoy the private hot spring to my heart's content. I can drink as much as I want from the fridge, and there are plenty of toiletries and towels. The souvenir amenities are great, and the surrounding scenery is nice. However, the bathtub in the bathroom did not drain well and the drainage hole was exposed and dirty.

Nice and clean hotel, welcoming staff. Nice dinner but I just felt a little bit rushed, it was a few courses and they brought everything at once, the beef and the sashimi were amazing. The room with a private onsen is perfect for couples.

For our family of two adults and one child, the hotel provided a room with four beds and enough space to easily accommodate four futons. It was fantastic!

Had a wonderful stay at Kuriyasuizan. I booked the room with outdoor bath in my own room, had a great soak at all hours of the day. The meals (dinner and breakfast) was wonderful, and service was great as well! Only drawback was the long walk from the kappaliner bus stop, it was a nightmare dragging 2 luggages up and down a thick snow covered slope, 6 mins walk on Google maps felt like 20 mins. If only there was a shuttle provided by the hotel 🤣

I chose this hotel specifically for its private bath, only to discover that reservations must be made 2-3 months in advance via email/phone call. The hotel does provide a shuttle bus from Sapporo city, which typically takes about an hour, but you also need to book that at least a month in advance, according to various bloggers. It was quite disappointing not to enjoy the private bath experience and to have to arrange our own transportation from/back to the city. The frustrating part is that you wouldn’t know the advance booking requirement when you make a reservation through Trip.com or similar platforms. Here’s a rephrased version of your statement: I honestly find this quite unfair.
