“Nice hotel with great view of the lake”

We chose a lake view room for a night while driving around north east Hokkaido. The lobby gets crowded during checkin with many local visitors.

We chose a lake view room for a night while driving around north east Hokkaido. The lobby gets crowded during checkin with many local visitors. The room and bathroom are small but acceptable since we have stayed in similar Japanese size rooms before. The breakfast n dinner buffet are acceptable. Guests are given a timing to choose their meal times. This helps with crowd control. The hotel charges for overnight parking and upon checkout, guests have to take a shuttle to about 1.5km away to retrieve their car. In the evening 8pm, we saw fireworks from our room. Excellent.

It was a bit hard to find maybe because of its long name but the hotel only displayed Hanayuka on the building.

It was a bit hard to find maybe because of its long name but the hotel only displayed Hanayuka on the building. But the staff was helpful and welcomed us and directed us to parking (paid) at the front of the hotel. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast and dinner had good variety. The winter festival was just a short walk away and we could even watch the fireworks from the hotel. Many rooms even have windows facing the fireworks so guests could watch from the comfort of their own room. Unfortunately ours faces the other way.

There is a buffet dinner and breakfast. I found some of the fish dishes overcooked at dinner. I enjoyed the nuts, vegetables and moch… lisää

New hotel, contemporary with lots of wood and art/photographs and natural light. We stayed here only one night on the 5th floor. Quite a large room and comfortable. There is a buffet dinner and breakfast. I found some of the fish dishes overcooked at dinner. I enjoyed the nuts, vegetables and mochi. Whilst there is absolutely nothing to be disappointed or dissatisfied about, for me the hotel felt a little clinical/corporate. That said the fruit crushed ginger and smoothies available at breakfast more than made up for this.
