Hotels With Pools in Hokkaido, Japan

Room is very clean and short 7mins walk to integrated Sapporo JR station, subway (Namboku and Toho line) and bus terminal. The hotel also upgraded me to a more comfortable double bed room which is kind of standard for all the places I have travelled. Amenities are always replenished unlike some hotels which don’t provide. Staff are very polite. I don’t know how many times I have bowed in return. Also, although the room is facing JR railway, the sound insulation is very good - no disturbance from train movement. Buffet breakfast is also very good with all kinds of sushi such as blow fish, flat fish, blue crab miso soup, ramen, Mongolian bbq mutton Jingkisukan, and even sparkling wine. I would stay here again if come to Sapporo.

Dai-ichi Takimotokan is an exceptional ryokan that offers an unforgettable onsen experience in Noboribetsu. The highlight is its large variety of hot spring baths, both indoor and outdoor, allowing guests to relax while enjoying beautiful natural surroundings. Rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, blending traditional Japanese style with modern amenities. The buffet meals are impressive, with a wide selection of fresh Japanese and international dishes. Staff are courteous, attentive, and provide excellent hospitality throughout the stay. Overall, Dai-ichi Takimotokan is perfect for travelers seeking relaxation, quality service, and an authentic Japanese onsen experience.

Service: Enthusiastic and incredibly patient. Environment: There's a shuttle service from Qingchi, and the waterfall is just a stone's throw away. Hot Springs: Several pools, and not too crowded. What surprised me the most was how delicious the food was! Both breakfast and dinner are buffets with fresh, tasty ingredients. The sweet shrimp had a wonderfully refreshing sweetness. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

The hotel provides a shuttle bus pick-up from Sapporo Station (Bus Terminal), but reservations can only be made by phone call. Email requests are not accepted. We arrived on a Sunday, and the bus was already fully packed when leaving Sapporo Station, so it is best to book early. The hotel itself is a little old, though the public area toilets appear to have been recently renovated. The public onsen pools are large and relaxing, but the stone tile flooring can be slippery from long use, so be careful when walking in the bath area. The buffet has a good spread of dishes. I especially enjoyed the dinner scallop miso soup, handmade sushi, and desserts. The restaurant was lively and fully packed with both local Japanese families and overseas tourists. One minor downside was the seasonal fruit such as lychee. It would be better if the hotel ensured the fruits were properly washed before serving. Wi-Fi connection in the hotel is strong and stable unlike the big spa hotel in lake Toya which I just stayed a few days ago.

The hotel itself is really old and while much effort clearly goes into maintaining it, the corridors and rooms do feel musty, like an old bowling alley. The onsen on the 6th floor is fantastic though, my only gripe is that the woman's onsen doesn't have the 15 degree dip pool that the men's onsen has, but that not a major issue at all. The surrounding areas are lovely for walks in the winter; we love the cold and the quiet early in the day. Rusutsu seems to employ quite a few non-Japanese employees but they do not seem to be treated kindly and they somehow look bullied. This does affect the vibe of the place and it doesn't feel as genuinely welcoming as other places we have visited in Japan. We ate at Cricket (for lunch) twice and both times, the staff did not greet at all, did not attend to us at all and the only thing they said to us was that we had to collect the food ourselves when the buzzer went off and to remember to return our trays. The local Japanese manager took the opportunity to boss the non-Japanese trainee around while we were playing our orders and the whole situation felt so unpleasant that we didnt eat there again - rather walk out to 7-11 nearby for kombini food.

The environment is really good. The forest house is two-story and about 100 square meters. Compared with the rooms I stayed in before in Sapporo, Noboribetsu and Rusutsu, it is much bigger. And the house is fully equipped with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It is very quiet and you can go out to play in the snow at any time. The only drawback is that if you don't drive here, you have to eat dinner at the hotel. The dinner at the hotel is very expensive. I ordered room service, which was quite a lot and delicious. In addition, the hotel does not have a vending machine, so you can only patronize the hotel's drinks and cakes in the lobby. Breakfast is included, which is very ceremonial. All the staff greeted us at the door of the restaurant. We were in a hurry, so we ate quickly and went to the airport. In addition to the snow, there is a golf course next to it. There is not much entertainment, but it is still a good stop for rest.

1) Japanese room is old but thankfully no funny smoke odour etc. decent sized and good for 2 large luggage - they will come and prepare your futon at around 5-530pm. 2) water park is good for kids, with 2 fun slides and some kiddo water slide. The indoor wave pool is big and there’s float and swimwear rental available too (unlike Rusutsu which doesn’t have such options). 3) Dinner was meh - wide selection but taste was alright. The dining buffet area is quite smoky though from the cooking and is quite a turnoff. 4) arcade at B1 is good for entertainment. 5) onsen is awesome. If timed right, you can watch fireworks from the onsen - it has a large sliding glass panel which is open during non-winter period. 6) daily fireworks - awesome

Every year, I used to come to Niseko for skiing and stay here. Due to the pandemic, I hadn't been back for a few years. This time, restarting my ski trip, I chose to stay at the Hilton Niseko Village again, and it still feels as warm and wonderful as ever. Although there haven't been any new changes to the hotel rooms and facilities, being right on the slopes offers fantastic visual effects. You can see the ski runs and fellow skiers directly from your room. Since we came earlier this year, only the beginner and intermediate slopes were open, which was perfect for us powderhounds who hadn't skied in years to practice our basics. The hotel environment is comfortable and well-equipped, with a bar, hot springs, restaurants, a ski rental and service center, and complimentary shuttle services at various times, meeting all our needs. What really stood out this time was the exceptional service. Hilton's management style is truly on point – the attention to detail, every smile, and every greeting made us feel constantly cared for and looked after. From the servers to the team leaders, supervisors, and managers, everyone was incredibly enthusiastic, making our ski journey truly enjoyable. We're already planning to stay here again next March!

Very pleased with our stay at Greenpia, and happy there were quite a few improvements since last year: - upgrade to the outdoor onsen, which is much better than before. Love the addition of the TV - onsen kits inside closet - more room selections such as the Max, cabins and glamping - the conversion into the comic reading space

The hotel is located on a mountain, and you can book a shuttle service to and from the high-speed train station. The lobby is very beautiful, and the rooms are spacious. For breakfast, you have the option of Western or Japanese cuisine.
