"Would come back."

"This was the most expensive stay in our trip and compared to the cost, definitely the most disappointing. Starting with the good things: the location is beautiful (even though not unparalleled in Hokkaido), both the private onsen in the room and the larger private onsens that can be used for free were great to use. In terms of things we did not like: as mentioned in other reviews, the property feels dated (e.g. the state of the onsens) - would be ok for a public onsen but less so for an expensive hotel. We more most disappointed by the breakfast and how it was handled: we shared in the reservation that we are vegetarians and would like to have this accommodated - no reaction and we were told when checking in that this is simply not possible to cater for. While Japan can be still tricky for vegetarians, all other (and cheaper!) places we stayed at could cater for us and prepared some brilliant dishes.This shows that this is not about what's doable just simply not caring."

"Perfect stay for visitors seeking a peaceful adventure. "

"Nice place to stay. "

"Clean and comfortable. Good onsen and varied buffet breakfast and dinner. Will pick here again if visiting lake Akan in future."

"The food they prepared for breakfast and dinner was delicious. Great location. "

"Friendly helpful staff,but that was the best part: the hotel has a drab exterior with extremely dirty windows within a run down locale opposite a disused/derelict building. The inside was functional but uniformly tired and dated. Our room was clean enough but the bedding was stained, the sheets and towels were old and thin. A simple warm air blowing heater kept us comfortably warm (no aircon but not needed in late October). The water went cold after one shower but was hot again by the morning. I reported weak wifi and was given an in-room wired hub which worked; except that on both evenings the hotel’s internet connection dropped out repeatedly. We made do for a couple of nights but wouldn't consider returning."

"If you like a place in the middle of nowhere which can provide you privacy and natural environment, this is the place! It’ll take around 12-15mins driving from the nearest town for groceries and local restaurants. Wonderful place for real getaway."

"Service was wonderful. Person who checked us in was very understanding of my limitations in the Japanese language. His English was very good. Very welcoming atmosphere."
