Jozankei Onsen Yurakusoan

Auf den ersten Blick überraschte mich das Hotel mit seinem traditionellen Ambiente. Alles ist mit Tatami ausgelegt, sogar die Gänge und der Eingang. Die hölzerne Badewanne im Zimmer sowie die öffentlichen und privaten Onsen waren fantastisch – ich habe das Baden dort sehr genossen. Einziger Kritikpunkt war das Essen: Obwohl die Speisen ansprechend angerichtet und die Portionen großzügig bemessen waren, hätte der Geschmack besser sein können. Auch die Auswahl an Snacks war recht spärlich.

Very beautiful place, the interior design is super Japanese, the room is Japanese style and with tatami. The jozankei town is a small town and quiet, with enough restaurants and lake to travel around, like the Sapporo lake dam and jozan lake dam.

Enjoyed the Ryokan and Onsen, service provided by the staff was excellent and we were there just nice for a light show at the nearby shrine! The Kaiseki and breakfast was a worthy top up. Overall experience was great and will definitely be back for more.

The hotel room did not come cheap, but overall, we had a pleasant stay aside from a hiccup during check-in when the staff forgot to inform us that our room was ready and kept us waiting. The public onsen was great and we spent more time there than the private in-room onsen. The free ice-creams, drinks and ramen (during supper time) were delightful touches. Pillow gallery offered options of different types of pillows was great! The hotel is shoes-free, meaning one has to remove our shoes and store in the lockers at the entrance and move around shoeless or in the tabi socks provided. The yukata pyjamas provided were comfortable, so were the beds. The use of sliding doors meant one will not hear of slamming of room doors by other guests. It is a cosy hotel to stay in. What we did not like was the lack of a sheltered drop-off point to unload our luggages and the sensor lights at the hallway of the room. As it could not be dimmed or switched off, it would light up brightly when going to the toilet in the middle of the night.

Food is really good. It comes with a free shuttle from the Sapporo station. Service is really good. there is also free food in the hotel.

Love the private onsen, in room onsen and the meals. I took the breakfast n dinner meal plan. 3 night stay, I have different menu daily. They have tea buffet in afternoon and night ramen at 10pm , ice cream at public onsen area all included in the hotel charges.

The staff is very friendly. Check in process went smoothly. It’s quiet and beautiful.

I feel special to be here, all staffs are so helpful and polite. The location of the hotel is so convenient.

The location is quite good, just 1 hour ride from Sapporo city centre! And they got the shuttle to pick up! The overall environment is nice, and walkable distance to various nature area! The only improvement area is either having more staff knowing English or having some display explaining in English, which would make things easier for both parties.
