A Magical Hokkido Escape-The Absolute Highlight of My Trip.
Returning to Hokkido after nearly a decade, we stayed at serveral properties, but this hotel was the most impressive stay of my 10-day journey. It was truly the magical experience I've been waiting for.
Hightlights of the Stay:
Warm Welcome: Greeted with humble Japanese smiles and genuine hospitality, followed by a choice of sparkling wine-a truly sophisticated start.
The Room: With only 23 suites, it feels very private. The room was spacious and clean, featuring traditional tatami and a private in-room onsen. Opening the window to breath in the crisp winter air while soaking and watching the snowfal was pure bliss.
Atmosphere and Facilities: the common areas include a cozy fireplace, a library, and a terrace overlooking the waterfront where the lake meets the river. Complimentary coffee and drinks are available thougtout the day. There is also a full spa on-site.
Service and Logistics: World-class service from a very polite team. Free reserved parking is provided.
Note on Location: While it's not in a walking-distance area during winter, the hotel is a destination in itself. You can easily spend the whole day relaxing here without wanting to leave.
We'll definitely be back to experience this beauty in other seasons. A huge thank you to the staff for such an unforgettable stay!
Exceptional Dining: The fine-dining meals feature premium local ingredients; the Monkfish (Anko) was particularly outstanding and delicious. I loved the open kitcheck where you can see the chefs' craftsmanship. They even provide thoughtful late-night snacks like Japanese sweets and warm soup.
