Romantic Hotels in Hokkaido, Japan

This hotel, nestled in Nakajima Park, is truly perfect for families with kids. The area is so peaceful and safe. Right outside, there's a Lawson convenience store and an amazing BBQ restaurant (charcoal-grilled meat) – absolutely delicious! My child loved Nakajima Park so much, they didn't want to leave. It's ideal for a stroll with the little ones. If we weren't heading to Jozankei, I'd definitely want to stay here for a few more nights. The breakfast was also excellent, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offered a beautiful view of the snowy park. After breakfast, a walk in the park was lovely, and there's even a popular cafe nearby. This is exactly what Hokkaido should feel like!

This hotel is super convenient! It's right across the street from JR Hakodate Station West Exit, literally a 2-3 minute walk. The Hakodate Morning Market (seafood market) is just 90 meters away. Plus, the bus terminal for all Hakodate buses is right in front of the station, so you can easily catch a direct bus to Goryokaku, the Mt. Hakodate Ropeway for night views, and the Motomachi Red Brick Warehouses. The breakfast here has an amazing reputation, offering both Japanese and Western buffet options. And get this – they even serve red and white wine, sparkling wine, and ice cream for breakfast!

The room was spacious, and like last time, all three beds in Keio Plaza Hotel's triple room were proper beds, not temporary rollaways, so we could easily open three suitcases without a problem. After a year, we stayed at Keio again, and the breakfast was still a major highlight – it's really great. However, the luggage storage process after check-out has changed. Before, a staff member would directly help me store my bags at the counter. Now, I have to push them about thirty meters to an automatic locker, which is a bit inconvenient. It's not very friendly for us older folks.

Absolutely fantastic! The hotel is directly connected to the JR station, so you can be on the train in just 5 minutes – truly seamless. The hotel's train-themed decor is really charming; if you get the chance, definitely book a train-themed room, it's so unique. The rooftop open-air onsen and lounge with the delicious Miling coffee is a major plus. Breakfast was superb too; the sushi was incredibly fresh, and I devoured six huge grilled scallops! The harbor views and the train views from the room are simply unbeatable!

The hotel lobby is stunning, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering a magnificent view directly onto Lake Toya. Every room also boasts a lake view. The breakfast and dinner buffets offer a good variety of dishes, though the quality is pretty standard, nothing to write home about. The hot springs are beautiful, and the infinity pool also faces Lake Toya. It's worth noting that the hotel provides a free shuttle bus service to and from Sapporo, which can save you a good amount on transportation costs if you plan accordingly.

We re-booked the same hotel after coming back from 1 night in Lake Toya as this hotel is conveniently located with good service. This time round, we booked a corner room and it is bigger than the previous room we booked and at a lower price. There is also an airport limousine bus drop off point just outside the hotel and the pick up point is a 3 mins walk to ANA Crowne plaza hotel. The onsen facility is free for guests - the facility is well maintained and clean.

This is a new hotel with a great location. There's a convenience store and yakitori restaurant right downstairs, and it's directly connected to Daimaru Stella Place from the B1 level of Sapporo Station. The subway Namboku and Toho lines are also right at your doorstep, so you don't have to brave the cold wind and snow. The hotel has a public bath and the rooms are quite spacious. The only downside is that there's 24-hour construction downstairs, which can be a bit noisy. Otherwise, everything else is excellent.

This was my third stay, and it was just as great as the previous times. I enjoyed watching the cruise ships and the sea, and loved the open-air onsen on the top floor. By coincidence, there was an earthquake during my stay, and it was quite shaky, but the hotel's emergency response was excellent, which helped everyone feel less nervous and worried!

The basics of all city hotels - location, location, location..... !!! And Hotel Stream is smacked in the heart of everything Sapporo has to offer unless you prefer a quieter and calmer spot then this hotel is NOT for you. Rooms are pretty standard in terms of size and amenities, it's, quiet, and great for city strolling. If your intention is to use this hotel as your base to do day trips to Furano & Biei, The Hill of the Buddha Moai, or the renowned Otaru (which unfortunately isn't that muchl unless you're a die hard music box & glass making fan) this is your BEST CHOICE until Hyatt House opens in Oct 2026 (a bird told me - for those Globalist out there) . Oh... a BIG tip by the way (if you've been reading till this point: request for a room with a direct view of the Sapporo's ferries wheel (not that I am a fan lol) or the view of the Nikka advertisement on my attached photo - they are worth it. It's amazing to sleep with such stunning view and wake up to one..... (check out my photos taken from my room) In case you wonder if that pic of me by the glass overlooking thr Nikka ad sign - that's the main breakfast restaurant where you will be having your daily breakfast but u have to get there early to book that seat, otherwise sit through breakfast till they close and then u get to take this photo for as long as you please...... Ok ok ok... i know I'm a little long winded. But hey... oh yeah... u need to know that you can take a limousine bus from CTS (Chitose International Airport) to Susukino which takes about 50mins on way for JPY1500 per person. Easy weasy and the from the bus stop in susukino where most will disembark - it's only a 5min walk to Hotel Stream which ISN'T that obvious as the hotel sign is NOT exactly on the building. You have to look out for a building that reads ”Coco-something” (ops forgotten the name of the building) and the hotel lobby is located on the 7th floor of that building which also house a shopping center, movie theater and numerous restaurants. If you're srill reading this - give me a like already and don't be stingy with that click will ya? Lol. Up next - I'll bee reviewing my hotel in Noboribetsu, Lake Toya, Hakodate and eventually Waldorf Astoria Osaka. Watch out for my space k. Until next time, may you be well and may the force be with you.

A very peaceful space. The staff are very friendly, especially to the kids. Only a couple blocks from Odori Park, and right around the corner from the old government building. The set breakfast was a very interesting and unique experience. The onsen was very nice as well. The kids had fun playing is the little corner of snow across the street
