Kamikawa Hotels with Wifi

"Location- Right by the stream, extremely walkable to 7-11 and the central plaza in the Sounkyo Gorge and a little downhill from the cable car station. Note- the plaza is super sleepy and not many restaurants open. 7-11 was acceptable for our party but not many options for food in area. A short drive to the Ryusei no Taki (falls) in the area Cleanliness- Hotel was clean but extremely dated. Hotel doesn't just need an overhaul (carpet mismatched colours, threadbare), holes in walls in our room, chair broken, rooms need keys to enter, safe needs key to access. If booking, please beware, some rooms are extremely small and cannot facilitate the number of people they project they can with futons on the floor and any luggage you may have (especially with the table and chairs in the rooms) Service- Counter staff are comfortable with English and check-in and out were easy. They were able to give information on the area. We were yelled at by the parking attendant in Japanese. Though we tried to understand what he was saying by trying Google Translate, he kept berating us in Japanese and refused to try to communicate with translator or hand signs. Facilities- The breakfast was sufficient- we ate at 7:30 a.m. (breakfast ends pretty early at 8:30 a.m.) and it wasn't crowded (tour groups eat earlier, we think). Fair amount of vegetable options and a few meat options include breakfast ham and sausage, grilled mackerel, scrambled and soft-boiled eggs. We visited the onsen once but have no other onsen to compare it to"

"The hotel is a bit old but the frontdesk staff was very polite and helpful. Carparking is easy which is only outside the hotel. The room is sizeable and quite clean though the bathroom lighting is below the mark. The buffet style dinner is a real surprise even though I prefer to try Japanese style dinner. But the staff were unable to fully advise us the food choices in English that we had to find them out by ourselves."

"Better than I expected, it's that kind of classic, stately hotel. The ambiance is beyond words, like a hidden paradise. The facilities and hygiene are a bit outdated, but it's perfectly fine for a stay. They offer free bicycle rentals, and there's an à la carte noodle shop in the basement that's great value for money. There's also a convenience store within a 10-minute walk from the entrance, which are all bonus points. I loved it."

"The hotel is exquisite and lovely, with a view from the window, and it is very clean and orderly, the service is warm, and the food hygiene is very good. Relatively speaking, the hot spring is a little worse. The hotel is very convenient to the Kurodake Cable Car and Maple Valley Bus Station!"

"It's a bit downhill from the bus stop so it's a bit exhausting if you have to drag your suitcase in the snow. It's very close to the ice festival though. Service was exceptional. The staff was helpful and friendly, many staff knowing Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese and English were very helpful to international visitors. Breakfast and dinner buffets were excellent. The room was big and comfortable, the onsen bath was nice too."

"When going, it should belong to the off-season, the hotel price is very close to the people, toiletries are better brands, the family said that the value for money. The hotel is located 50 meters in front of the entrance of the Sounkyo cable car station. If you want to go hiking here, go out early in the morning and take the first cable car up the mountain. The weather in the summer is changing fast. The mountaineering must bring a jacket, wind and rain. There are many rock climbing roads, so be careful."

"The hotel is located in the Sounkyo area of ​​Daisetsuzan National Park, next to a national highway, about a 6-8 minute walk from the cable car station, which is a decent location. Sounkyo onsen hotels are generally expensive, so this hotel is suitable for travelers who don't have high expectations for room facilities (they are quite old, and the bathroom is small) and want a lower cost of accommodation. Advantages: The reception and restaurant staff are friendly; the accommodation is relatively quiet, with the sound of flowing water; the room size is acceptable. Areas for improvement: The room facilities are old, but the bathroom is as small as those in Japanese chain business hotels, the threshold is high and you have to be careful when stepping over it; the refrigerator still has beverage cans left by the previous guest, indicating that cleaning needs improvement."
