[2025 Kushiro Hotels] Travel Guide for Akan Yuku No Sato Tsuruga (Updated Aug)

The hot spring resort hotel on the shore of Lake Akan in Hokkaido #阿寒游久の里鹤雅 has an excellent geographical location. It is located on the lakeside hot spring street. Hisayama is divided into the new and old buildings, which are connected by a corridor with shops and wood carvings in the middle. The facilities and room types of the new building are relatively high-end. Due to its early development, large scale and large number of rooms, Akan Yuku no Sato Tsuruga is quite popular among group tourists, and many tour buses stay there. The price is also much cheaper than other Tsuruga hotels. For less than NT$10,000 per night for two people, you can stay in a lake view twin room with breakfast and dinner included, which is quite a good deal. Although it was renovated in 2012, the overall facilities are still a bit old, but it is well maintained, comfortable to live in, and the service is friendly. The only problem is that the lighting is a bit dim. Fortunately, the hotel has an unbeatable view of Lake Akan, especially during the day, it is really beautiful and healing! The hotel's hot spring baths are on the 1st floor and the 8th floor. The men's and women's baths are switched during the day and night. The bath on the top floor is highly recommended, as you can see the entire Lake Akan. There is also a modern rest area on the top floor. It is a great pleasure to enjoy the cool breeze after taking a bath! Popular science: Lake Akan is a freshwater lake located in Akan Town, Kushiro City, Hokkaido. The entire area is included in the #AkanMashu National Park. It is famous for its abundance of #Marimo and #Trout. The lake water is clear and the scenery is beautiful. There is Lake Akan Hot Spring on the south bank of the lake. It is a famous tourist destination in Eastern Hokkaido. #Hokkaido self-driving #Akan Lake #Tsuruga #Akan Yuku no Tsuruga #Hokkaido East

#日本酒店 The Japanese red-crowned crane is regarded as the god of wetlands and is worshipped by the local Ainu people, which is also the origin of the name of the Tsuruga Group. The hotel's traditional hot springs offer 33 different bathing styles. The large public bath on the first floor is an open-air bath in the courtyard facing Lake Akan. From the 8th floor rooftop open-air bath, Tennyou-no-Yu, you can overlook the magnificent scenery of Lake Akan, the stage of the gods in the mythology of this land. Guests staying here can enjoy a variety of delicious dishes made with fresh and mellow local ingredients from Hokkaido. The hotel's restaurants include a buffet-style Western restaurant and a traditional Japanese Kaiseki-style restaurant, which can provide you with a variety of dinner packages. I chose buffet for breakfast and dinner. The biggest feature of Heya Hotel's buffet is the wide variety, which is also determined by the size of the hotel's rooms. This is definitely a paradise for foodies. Among the hotels in Hokkaido, the most diverse dinner options are probably found here. Sashimi includes Hokkaido sweet shrimp, prawns, tiger prawns, salmon, tuna, sea bream, shad, cuttlefish, fish roe, scallops, etc.; hot dishes include capelin, tempura, eel, saury, steak, tempura, etc. There are also various meats, snacks and desserts. It can be said that if you like Japanese food, this buffet dinner will definitely meet or exceed your expectations. The variety is not a big deal; what’s important is the excellent quality. They mainly select seafood from the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, the most representative of which is shrimp, which is large in size, has delicate texture and a sweet taste. Even the tempura shrimp has an impeccable taste. However, the only drawback is its size. Dinner has to be booked in advance and there are too many guests. This is a bit lacking in my personal opinion, but if you only stay for one night, it is acceptable. Because I was embarrassed to take pictures at the food counter, the pictures only show the food I chose, including breakfast. It can be said that it was only a few tenths of all the varieties. I was almost full after eating the shrimps. #Overseas travel #Japan travel #Japanese cuisine #Japanese food #Shrimp #Sashimi #Sashimi platter #Lake #Ice and snow world #Hotel for fun #Cost-effective hotel #Hotel restaurant #Hot spring hotel #Hokkaido travel #Hokkaido food

I went to Tsuruga in Kushiro, Hokkaido! I had a fulfilling "stay-at-home" experience. On the first floor, there is the large bath, Tsuruga Oakan Onsen Toyogayaden, where you can enjoy seven different types of baths! On the eighth floor, there is a large observation bath and an open-air bath in the sky. You can see Lake Akan from the open-air bath! It was so nice that I wanted to stay in it forever. There is also a private bath on the eighth floor, so it's great for families to relax! The food was a buffet! I forgot to take pictures, but it was delicious♪ #hotel #hotelstay #ryokan #hotspring #hokkaido #lakeakan

✨Hotel Highlights ♨️Amenities 🛁Room Environment 🍽️Breakfast 🛎️Hotel Service 💗Guest Experience Love this hotel especially the Japanese style room which is very spacious with nice Japanese deco. They offer welcome Japanese sweet like many Japanese ryokan. We were upgraded to the lake view room instead of town view. The view from the room is amazing. Not to Forget to mention about the Onsen. It’s very huge and there are many types of baths, from indoor to outdoor; from cold to hot, and also bubble bath and massage bath etc. about the food at the restaurants, it was kinda disappointed for a 5 star hotel. Though they offer wide varieties but somehow the quality not as good as some of the others ryokan we stayed before. The location wise is was good, the lake just outside and near to all the activities. And the hotel provide shuttle from bus terminal. #lakeakan

Akan Yuku no Sato Tsuruga offers a panoramic view of Lake Akan. It is known as a luxury hotel, but the hotel's food and hot springs are in a class of their own, and the many samples at the souvenir shop are wonderful memories. About a two-hour drive away is Kaminokoike Pond, famous for its blue pond. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip while taking in the typical Hokkaido scenery in the surrounding area.

Speaking of the Akan Lakeside Hot Spring Hotel, the most famous one is the A Han He Ya Zhuang Zhuang Zuo, who shoots "You Are the One", but this hotel has few rooms and does not accept children under the age of thirteen. If you bring a baby, you can consider another hotel in the group - You Jiuzhi. The hotel is connected to the sister wing of Heya. When you walk into the lobby, you will feel the more lively atmosphere of the resort, which is completely different from the quietness of the squatting seat. Fully equipped with a number of shops, including the specialty sports brand THE NORTH FACE. In addition to the buffet and restaurant, there is also a local cuisine and ramen shop. Received several redemption vouchers at check-in, useful for drinks at dinner, drinks vouchers for dinner after dinner, soba noodles at night, and ice cream in the refrigerator! If you are not staying, the Nisshin Hot Springs service is also available here. On the top of the building, there is a big bathing place, "Tianfu's Soup". To go up a spiral staircase, it takes some courage in winter~

Within Hokkaido, there are no fewer than ten hot spring holy sites, such as Noboribetsu, Dingshanxi, Shishengchuan, Ranbe, Chuantang, and Akan. Akan Hot Spring is located on the shores of Lake Akan, and there are oversized hotels in Heya Group. Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan, once stayed at the Akan Lake, Akan, a long time, Heya. Checkin in the VIP area, you will begin to experience the delicate Japanese service, the first to taste the traditional Japanese matcha and dessert. Immediately led by the kindly kimono Auntie, the room in the lake was very nice, and I was glad that I finally decided to raise my budget to live in this lake view room. Enter the room, there is limited ice cream in the refrigerator, and black tea and Japanese fruit are prepared on the table. The room is divided into two parts, the room and the room, and the tatami room can be used for two beds, and the foreign room area has two single beds. During the day and the room area, it becomes a living room. From the large windows, you can see A Han Yue, soak a pot of hot tea, enjoy the snow scene, and you don't have to feel the cold, very comfortable. The whole afternoon, playing snow, bathing, enjoying the scenery in front of the hotel, the time is slowing down. Youjiuzhi and the wing of Heya next door, the two hotels are connected on the first floor, a total of four hot spring baths. It is especially recommended to visit the large bathing area on the first floor. There are not only four or five bathing pools, but also a few steps away from the open air. The open air of this bath is very quaint and is within easy reach of Lake Akan. First, soak the heat in the room, then soak it to the outside, and enter the water for a moment, especially satisfied. From the open air, the Akan Lake has been covered with snow, and the Aohan Mountain is not far away.
