A sophisticated Onsen Hotel in front of a Lake of Dreams on Hokkaido.

10.0

The sense of place this hotel represents. It is in a small and local Hokkaido tourist village but a world apart from what one might expect. A place of simple elegance, quiet confidence, and sophistication at the highest level. I was there for one night on a trip around the world that started on Hokkaido. I could have stayed longer and will return

Nothing not to like here...If I were stretching I'd say offer more of a push to take advantage of the very charming activities on offer. I was there only a day and they were not offered to me but clearly could have been. There's a big push to inform you about the free drinks, food, etc. --which is nice-- but experiences and not booze-- create lasting memories.

Gorgeous lakeside escapade

The service was excellent, the room was huge and the view breathtaking!

The price is definitely on the higher end.

Absolutely fabulous, the staff including the chef were wonderful. We will want to come back in the future.

10.0

Location and the privacy, it had beautiful views and easy to navigate around by car. Easy to park and go at a moment.

I can’t think of one thing I didn’t like.
