    Carpark was a little far away but the hotel are very frequent shuttle buses there so it’s not really an issue.

    The breakfast and dinner buffets were absolutely fantastic. The freshness and quality of the sashimi was first rate. The first and eight floor onsen baths had wonderful views of Lake Akan and had many different types of pools eg whirlpool, jets etc

    Nothing worth mentioning.

    Everything!! We came with a rented car and location was perfect to explore the area (amazing and beautiful area). Parking is 600 meters from he hotel but they have a shuttle that runs whenever you need it. Nice room, great breakfast and dinner buffets, great service, nice access to the lake, reasonable cost, great indoor and out door nice public bath.

    Car park was very far away, but the hotel provided a shuttle to connect to the car park.

    Room was big, clean and comfortable. Buffet offered an impressive spread of Japanese, Chinese and Western dishes. Love the wagyu! Onsen comes with a variety of hot and cold pools. The hotel has a nice courtyard with great views of the lake. It is located next to the Ainu Kotan, a local village with lots of beautiful handicraft.

    The air conditioning system are too hot for us. We were sweating while eating in buffet. If you need to check-in at a peak period, there may not have enough potters to help bringing luggage. Car park is quite remote.

    Hot Spring in 1/F really lovely and in traditional style. The rooftop Hot spring with good starry sky at nighttime and wide blue sky in daytime. The Wing’s Hot spring is like a hotel clubhouse, modern design, clean and neat. We were just on time to see the Winter’s fireworks at the courtyard and it’s really fulfilling to watch. The staff will provide warm coat and slippers for guests which is a very warm experience.

    My reservation included the daily breakfast and dinner buffet. I wanted to upgrade to the Japanese style dinner and was told that i could not do so because it was ‘not available’. I assume this was because I had booked through booking.com. I have stayed at the resort several times before and it was never a problem. The buffet is pretty average, some food quite good, a lot of it mediocre, and repeating the exact same meal for 3 days got very boring.

    Room was great, very comfortable beds. Hot springs were very nice and relaxing.

    Was a little hard to find someone, who speaks English, but communication via translator possible. There is no business center to print or make a copy (staff calls manager and manager can also not decide), location is super nice, but the airports Kushiro and Memambetsu are over 50 km away and it takes 1,5 hours or longer to get from airport to hotel with public transportation. Taxi is an option. In winter time the near by museum and some shops are closed, summer is better.

    Best place in Hokkaido! Breakfast and Buffet Dinner included: great choices of Japanese, Chinese and Western food. Fresh food and high level choices. Lakeside view during meals. Great Onsen, friendly staff, shuttle to parking area fast and upon request. Big rooms, nice tatami styles, 5 people come for daily room cleaning at once and job is done so quickly, get as much drinking water as you need, afternoon can eat free Hokkaido potatoes, nice art exhibition area from woodwork, close to Ainu village, very friendly tour desk.

    We arrived at 2pm but had to wait until 3pm to check in. There is no flexibility. Half board dinner and breakfast buffet have lots of choices but actually can’t find much to eat as the taste was just so so.

    We booked 4-futon-beds room. The room is pretty big.

    The rest of the hotel was so dated. The facilities and the common area were old and grotty. The buffet restaurant was terrible was like a rat race heaving with people, babies and small children. The food was mediocre, spread looked good at first but not great quality, and if you stay more than 1 night then it's the same again. Most of the breakfast were the left over from the dinner. Had it not been too cold to go out we would have abandoned the hotel dinner and go find something else.

    The room was amazing, very big, comfortable, good view, newly renovated

    The hotel is traditional Japanese hotel we accept that it is old but at least change the carpet and improve the ventilation as we can smell smoke on the way to our rooms and toilets were stuffy..the buffet was okay but not especially delicious. I'm
