Romantic Hotels in Hokkaido, Japan

I arrived in Sapporo late at night and took a taxi from Sapporo JR Station to the hotel, which cost about 1800 yen. The next morning, as I pulled open the curtains, I was absolutely stunned: before me was a beautiful world of pristine white snow, with Nakajima Park spread out in full view. I was so grateful for the clear blue sky, allowing the distant mountains to be clearly visible. It truly lived up to its name as a 'room with a view.' Although the facilities are a bit dated, the room layout is very practical, and the bathroom is spacious enough. The bedding and linens are all of high quality. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and excellent. Eating breakfast in the ground floor restaurant, with its large floor-to-ceiling windows, and watching the snow silently fall from the trees was an indescribable pleasure. Even better was the hotel's location for transportation. Nakajima Koen Station's Exit 3 and Exit 1 are only a two-minute walk from the hotel, making getting around incredibly convenient! The front desk service was also impeccable. We stayed for a total of three nights, but had to switch rooms for the third night. When we returned in the evening, the staff had already moved all our luggage to the new room. It was a very thoughtful gesture.

The basics of all city hotels - location, location, location..... !!! And Hotel Stream is smacked in the heart of everything Sapporo has to offer unless you prefer a quieter and calmer spot then this hotel is NOT for you. Rooms are pretty standard in terms of size and amenities, it's, quiet, and great for city strolling. If your intention is to use this hotel as your base to do day trips to Furano & Biei, The Hill of the Buddha Moai, or the renowned Otaru (which unfortunately isn't that muchl unless you're a die hard music box & glass making fan) this is your BEST CHOICE until Hyatt House opens in Oct 2026 (a bird told me - for those Globalist out there) . Oh... a BIG tip by the way (if you've been reading till this point: request for a room with a direct view of the Sapporo's ferries wheel (not that I am a fan lol) or the view of the Nikka advertisement on my attached photo - they are worth it. It's amazing to sleep with such stunning view and wake up to one..... (check out my photos taken from my room) In case you wonder if that pic of me by the glass overlooking thr Nikka ad sign - that's the main breakfast restaurant where you will be having your daily breakfast but u have to get there early to book that seat, otherwise sit through breakfast till they close and then u get to take this photo for as long as you please...... Ok ok ok... i know I'm a little long winded. But hey... oh yeah... u need to know that you can take a limousine bus from CTS (Chitose International Airport) to Susukino which takes about 50mins on way for JPY1500 per person. Easy weasy and the from the bus stop in susukino where most will disembark - it's only a 5min walk to Hotel Stream which ISN'T that obvious as the hotel sign is NOT exactly on the building. You have to look out for a building that reads ”Coco-something” (ops forgotten the name of the building) and the hotel lobby is located on the 7th floor of that building which also house a shopping center, movie theater and numerous restaurants. If you're srill reading this - give me a like already and don't be stingy with that click will ya? Lol. Up next - I'll bee reviewing my hotel in Noboribetsu, Lake Toya, Hakodate and eventually Waldorf Astoria Osaka. Watch out for my space k. Until next time, may you be well and may the force be with you.

An absolutely fantastic hotel! The location, service, and especially the breakfast are top-notch. From our 12th-floor window, we could see the Hakodate Morning Market, JR station, and even the cruise ship. The sparkling lights of the harbor at night are infinitely better than the overrated mountain view. The lovely front desk lady with excellent American English made communication a breeze. She even specially picked a room with a 'special view' for us. Guests in deluxe rooms can use their room key to access the simple executive lounge on the top floor, which offers some snacks, drinks, and alcohol. Hakodate has a charming, sophisticated vibe, much like Shanghai, and I'd definitely visit again. I'll be staying at this hotel next time too!

A very comfortable stay and one I would happily return to on a future trip to Sapporo. The room was spacious by Japanese hotel standards, well maintained, and had a grand feel without being overly luxurious. After long days of sightseeing, it was a pleasant place to return to and rest. The location is excellent, within walking distance of Sapporo Station while still being quiet and convenient. What really stood out was the practicality of the hotel. The airport limousine bus stops here, making arrivals and departures very easy. There are also luggage lockers available, and Yamato luggage delivery services can be arranged from the hotel. A small tip: if you're planning to use Yamato luggage delivery, do take note of the cut-off times and delivery schedules, as they may affect your travel plans. Overall, a comfortable, convenient, and reliable base for exploring Sapporo and the surrounding areas. I would definitely stay here again by next week.

The hotel lobby is stunning, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering a magnificent view directly onto Lake Toya. Every room also boasts a lake view. The breakfast and dinner buffets offer a good variety of dishes, though the quality is pretty standard, nothing to write home about. The hot springs are beautiful, and the infinity pool also faces Lake Toya. It's worth noting that the hotel provides a free shuttle bus service to and from Sapporo, which can save you a good amount on transportation costs if you plan accordingly.

For Japan, the room is quite spacious and the price is excellent. The breakfast offers a wide variety of choices, making this hotel a great value for money for a city trip. The large public bath on the second floor is a real plus – it's incredibly comfortable to soak away your fatigue after a day of walking. The only minor drawback is that it's a bit of a walk, about 10 minutes, from the subway station. However, it's very convenient for accessing the shopping area near the station.

Hotel is in the city centre and quite close to the basement metro. We can walk to the beer museum and the tanukikoji shopping street nearby. It's also a short distance walk to reach the underground shopping shops, which was very convenient. However the hotel doesn't provide hot water refills at the lobby, refills are only reachable inside the breakfast diner. We ordered hotel breakfast for the first day of stay but not for the second and third night, but the breakfast diner's receptionist still kindly let us in for refills of the hot water. Breakfast is on moderate level and menu variety could be better still, regarding the price paid. Not much seafood options to be found, besides the mini sashimi don.

The room directly faces Lake Toya, offering a fantastic view. You don't even need to leave the room to watch the fireworks at night, and the hot spring water quality is excellent. The hotel also provides a bus schedule, which helps a lot with planning your outings.

Tokyu Stay in Sapporo is a really nice hotel located in Odori. Very close to the Subway, nice restaurants, convenience stores & shopping. The famous Nijo Fish market is just a 10 mins walk. And of course needless to mention the awesome seafood available there. Very close to Sapporo station as well which means great connectivity to JR trains. Room is very clean and very well equipped with electric kettle, microwave, washing machine, a small sink, few kitchen utensils etc. Enough to stay for a slightly longer period if one wants to. Room space was slightly on the compact side though manageable. They have options for room cleaning everyday if you want to but can opt for eco cleaning options that are more environment friendly. That’s appreciated. They also have a free coffee machine at their lobby which was also really nice. Overall a very nice stay. Will stay again.

I stayed at this hotel based on a friend's recommendation. Its biggest advantage is the airport shuttle (1500 JPY/person) right outside the hotel, which is also the first stop. The journey takes 1.5 hours. It's also a maximum 10-minute walk from Sapporo Station. The room was clean, but the gap between the two beds was a bit too narrow. The bathroom was spacious and came with disposable slippers. There's no bottled water in the room, but drinking water is available in the hallway. I chose the Japanese set meal for breakfast, which was good. The front desk service was excellent, and there's a weighing scale in the lobby.
