Address: Kawayu-Ekimae 3-2-10, Teshikaga, Hokkaido, 088-3462, JP
Location: Kawayu Onsen
Star rating: 3/5
Guest rating: 8.2/10 (142 reviews)
Review: This hotel is located just a 5mins walk away from the Kawayu Onsen Station, but more ideal for travellers getting around with a car. Hotel is within driving distance of its surrounding attractions. The innkeeper was a very warm and friendly old man who although could hardly speak any English, won us over with his sincerity, hospitality as well as, his delicious breakfast set. Onsen facility was rather !old and would have preferred if there were private showers in the room rather than having to..., by Daryl, 11 June 2019, rated 10/10 Excellent

Akan Tsuruga Bessou HINANOZA

A spacious room with large windows overlooking a body of water and greenery. There is a seating area with a sofa and chairs, a small table, and a lamp.

Location: Kushiro
Review: Not a cheap hotel, but really excellent. The evening meals are a particular treat and although few if any of the staff speak fluent English, we were able to communicate well with all the staff we met. We booked a superior suite and had a reasonably good view of the lake, booking the next price up and I think you'd get a really excellent view. Of all the places we stayed in Japan, this was my favourite., by Robert, 9 April 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent

Kussharo Prince Hotel

A modern building with a glass facade, a body of water, and surrounding greenery.

Location: Teshikaga
Review: It is a bit out of the way (you would prob need to drive here which is prob why we thought it was mainly for coach tours) but for a large and well appointed hotel it was remarkably good value for the room itself (which was well appointed with lovely bathroom). We chose not to have breakfast or dinner here as that seemed expensive so made do with what we picked up earlier at a conbini on the way here :). There was a nice games area in the hotel basement and we played some table tennis there. It..., by John, 1 July 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent
