Romantic Hotels in Hokkaido, Japan

"The hotel is beautifully situated on the shore of Lake Toya. Our room on the 7th floor offered a perfect lake view, and we even had a lake gull perch outside our window, seemingly welcoming us – it was quite charming! The hotel boasts excellent facilities; our kids absolutely loved the kids' space. Our whole family agreed that breakfast was a bit tastier than dinner. For dinner, the hotel kindly provided us with 60 minutes of complimentary soft drinks, which we greatly appreciated. The 'Star Hot Spring' definitely offers an unbeatable view and was incredibly comfortable. The male and female baths switch over in the early morning. We visited the 'Moon Hot Spring' the night before, which was very elegant, and then woke up early to visit the 'Star Hot Spring,' which had a captivating view. The hotel also offers discount coupons for nearby attractions if you simply ask. The bus stop is right at the hotel's doorstep, with clear schedules for both the outbound (Chuo-dori) and inbound (Motomachi) routes. The room amenities were comprehensive, and staff even came in the evening to prepare our futons, which were very comfortable – we slept wonderfully. Just a short walk downstairs, we found duck boats to rent; we had a great time with one pedal boat and one electric boat! The evening fireworks display was quite romantic, though the scale of the fireworks wasn't huge, it was still lovely to watch casually."

"The location, needless to say, is absolutely perfect for a city walk in Sapporo's blossoming streets. It's just a 10-15 minute walk from Sapporo Station, and popular spots like the TV Tower and Tanukikoji are all within walking distance. Plus, there's a Lawson convenience store right nearby – super convenient! After walking miles and enjoying delicious food all day, coming back to the hotel for a relaxing soak in the bath just fills you with pure bliss! I was already charmed by the lovely ladies at the front desk during check-in, and then at breakfast, I saw all the handsome gentlemen were on duty too. I started wondering if this hotel hires based on looks – breakfast truly offered a feast for all the senses! So yeah, I really love Sapporo. I'll definitely be back next time, and I'll definitely be staying at this hotel again! BTW: Sapporo's food is just SOOOOOOO good, LOL!"

"The traditional tatami room truly impressed us, but the highlight of our stay was the open-air private sulphur onsen in our room. It was incredibly therapeutic, and I absolutely loved the natural sulphur scent that filled the space—it made the experience feel authentic and deeply relaxing. A heartfelt shoutout to the staff for their exceptional hospitality. From the warm welcome upon arrival to assisting with our luggage and thoughtfully preparing our beds, every detail was handled with care. They were genuinely kind and attentive throughout our stay. Although the hotel is quite old, we appreciated it as part of its vintage charm. It feels like a place rich with history and stories, which adds a unique character you don’t often find in modern hotels. The 7-course kaiseki dinner completely blew us away. From the exquisite plating to the impeccable service, every dish reflected the chef’s dedication and craftsmanship. Even breakfast exceeded our expectations. While described as a buffet, the beautifully presented bento-style offerings along with the comforting soup-based dishes were both satisfying and delicious. Yes, the price is on the higher side, but it is absolutely worth every penny we spent."

"I really enjoyed my stay here. The location is perfect, being conveniently situated right within the JR station. The room was spacious and offered a great view, and the public bath was a lovely way to relax. I also appreciated the unique ”pillow corner” where you can choose your preferred pillow for a better night's sleep. One helpful tip for future guests: if you have any requests or queries, it is much easier to go to the front desk in person. The staff are wonderful, but most do not speak English, which can make it difficult to communicate effectively over the hotel phone."
