Thermen-Hotels in Hokkaidō, Japan

About 10-15mins driving distance from the city center. Parking is located next to it (around 2mins walking distance) where u have to walk through an alley to hotel main door. Perhaps they can install a street light in the alley way or a back door near to parking lots coz it is quite dark and scary to walk alone. Breakfast is lack of variety but acceptable. Other than these, overall is satisfied.

Das Hotelzimmer ist groß, die Landschaft ist gut, es gibt einen speziellen Chicken-Station, der 16e Stock hat eine kostenlose Lounge, Getränke, Kaffee, roter weißer Wein und Bier, Gemüse-Kleinfrüchte ⋯⋯ Das japanische französische Essen mit einem Schalenfrüchte-Essen ist sehr erstaunlich und der Service ist super gut.

Have been to this airport 3 times, 1st time using this hotel to catch the early morning flight out. It’s ambience quite an eerie experience, a bit difficult to find the hotel initially😄 Otherwise the room was big, toilet & amneties was great! Staffs were very helpful & friendly. Would highly recommend this place if wanna good rest before flight out.

Exceptional Private Onsen & Hokkaido Geschmacksmuster. Allgemein Eindruck: Eine perfekte Mischung aus Komfort und Gemütlichkeit. Trotz der düsteren Atmosphäre und der klassischen, dunklen Dekoration machen die private Essens- und Essenserfahrung eine standhafte Wahl im Bereich. Highlights: Das Zimmer: Geräuschlich mit schönen Holzböden und einem privaten Außenkanon. Socken in der Wärme während Schneefall ist rein magisch. Die Funktionen wie der ”His&Her” sinken und ein in-Room-Massage-Stuhl machen unser Aufenthalt bequemer. Alles Komplimentar im Zimmer fügt einen sorgfältigen Touch hinzu. Essen: Das Buffet bietet eine beeindruckende Vielfalt an lokalen Gerichten neben schön geplatten Händen. Auch wenn es besetzt ist, verwaltete das Personal den Sitz systematisch, so dass wir die herrliche Winteraussichten bequem genießen. Die Hokkaido-Käse-Pizza und Dessert sind absolute Muster-Tests. Lage und Service: Perfekt im Herzen des Sehenswürdigkeitsbezirks gelegen, mit berühmten Süßwarenladen in der Nähe. Die komplimentären Parkplätze und die Pflege, perfektes Personal machten unser Aufenthalt unschön. Bemerkungen: Atmosphäre: Die gemeinsamen Gebiete können sich wegen ihrer Popularität ein wenig überfüllt fühlen. Design: Die Innenräume sind etwas veraltet und schlank in Richtung sehr dunkelen Ton, und vor allem ist Netflix nicht im Innenraum TV verfügbar. Hinweis: Windows ist befestigt; die Belüftung wird über die Tür des Balkons verwaltet. Urteil: Sehr empfohlen für Lebensmittel und Onsen Liebhaber, die das Zentrum der Aktion sein wollen.

Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono’s architecture, environment, interior design, and lighting design were all truly wonderful. We were consistently impressed by the excellence of service, which made our visit even more memorable. The food and beverage service was warm and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. The front desk and transportation team were outstanding in assisting us with our trip activities and transport arrangements. Additionally, the housekeeping department did a fantastic job in keeping our room clean and tidy. It is evident that the hardware and software (the staff) at Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono are perfectly matched. We are so glad we chose to stay at Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono We look forward to returning in the future!

I booked the hotel a few months ago so I could get a very good price for staying with OMO5. Very comfortable and energetic hotel, especially the common area was a place for relaxing and chill. They have a different set up during the day and at night. The highlight of this hotel is the free shuttle bus services, going around the city, and the paid shuttle service to go up the hill to see the sunset. You would be knowing how chaotic it could be up there so it’s good to have a shuttle bus bringing you up and down back to the hotel door. Also, the hotel offer free tours and I joined the free market walking tour and a bus tour to Onuma National Park. By staying one night, I could use the services before the check in and after the check out, so basically it covered 2 days activities when I was in Hakodate. it’s a super value offer, and I really feel this hotel group has thoughts from traveler’s perspective and try their best to give the best experience and to help reducing hassles for us. Definitely I will book with hotels under Hoshino Resort Group again. Thank you very much.

I absolutely love Hanabishi Hotel — I had the best 2-night stay here. The hotel is quiet with no large tour groups, and I really enjoyed the traditional feel and relaxing vibes. I tried all of their room types, and my favorite is the futon room with a private onsen. The futon is very comfortable, and the room itself is incredibly spacious. The staff are friendly and helpful, even assisting me with arranging taxi service. The location is convenient, only about a 10-minute drive from Hakodate Airport. I also loved both the breakfast buffet and the dinner set — they truly pampered me like I was the queen of the world. The public onsen is beautiful and huge. I will forever choose to stay here whenever I’m in the area.

Dieses Hotel ist sehr gut. Jedes Mal, wenn ich zwei aufeinanderfolgende Tage dort bleibe, ändern sich die Gerichte an beiden Tagen. Im Vergleich zu meinem Aufenthalt im Januar 2020 gibt es jetzt eine Selbstbedienungsbar und die Qualität des Abendessens ist besser als zuvor. Doch während dieser Mahlzeit gab es eine Episode: Ich dachte, der gebratene Fisch sei abgestanden, weil der faserige Teil des Fleisches begonnen hatte, sich zu zersetzen (Bild 9), und es unmöglich war, ihn in Stücke zu trennen. Ich befragte das Restaurant dazu, und das Restaurantpersonal erkundigte sich beim Koch und sagte mir, dass diese Art von Hokkaido-Fisch so sei. Aufgrund meiner jahrzehntelangen Erfahrung mit dem Verzehr unzähliger Fische auf der ganzen Welt bin ich mit der Erklärung des Hotelrestaurants nicht einverstanden. Aber ansonsten war das Essen sehr gut.

Wir sind mit diesem ryokan wunderbar und hilfreich. Sie holten uns in schwerem Schnee auf dem JR-Station und begrüßten uns mit warmem Tee am Eingang. :) Das Abendessen und das Frühstück waren perfekt und wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit im privaten Onsen! Würde sicherlich jedem empfehlen.

Tabino Hotel Ishikari (旅之酒店石狩) is a relatively new hotel that opened in late 2025, and it quickly became one of my favorite stops during my Hokkaido trip. Located in Ishikari City, it’s about a 15–20 minute drive from central Sapporo areas like Hokkaido University or Odori Park, making it a smart choice for those who want easy access to the city without staying right in the busy downtown. One of the first things that struck me was the massive parking lot—it’s a spacious, flat, free parking area with plenty of spots, even for larger vehicles (though larger ones might need prior arrangement). No stress about circling for a space or paying extra fees, which is a huge plus for self-drive travelers in Hokkaido. The room felt pleasantly spacious compared to many budget or business hotels in Japan. I could fully open my suitcase, unpack comfortably, and still have plenty of room to move around. All rooms come equipped with handy in-room amenities like a washing machine, microwave, and fridge, which are great for longer stays or if you want to heat up snacks. The surroundings are remarkably quiet and peaceful, giving that relaxing escape-from-the-city vibe, especially at night. Yet, convenience is never compromised—there’s a 24-hour convenience store (like a 7-Eleven) just a 1-minute walk away, perfect for grabbing late-night snacks, drinks, breakfast items, or anything you need without driving. It’s such a thoughtful location balance. One of the biggest highlights is the on-site hot spring facility. The large public bath uses an artificial onsen inspired by Noboribetsu’s Shirakaba-no-Yu (white birch hot spring), with milky, smooth water that’s incredibly soothing after a day of driving or sightseeing. There’s also a sauna, making it easy to unwind and recharge right at the hotel—no need to hunt for external onsens. Cleanliness is top-notch throughout the property. Everything from the lobby and corridors to the rooms and bath areas felt spotless and well-maintained, with fresh linens and no lingering odors. It’s clear the staff takes pride in keeping the place immaculate. Overall, Tabino Hotel Ishikari offers excellent value: comfortable, feature-packed rooms, unbeatable parking convenience, that perfect mix of tranquility and nearby 24/7 shopping, plus the bonus of relaxing in the hot springs without leaving the hotel. It’s ideal for self-drive explorers, families, or anyone wanting a peaceful yet practical base near Sapporo. I’d definitely stay here again on future trips!
