Hotels near Kibana no Mori, Asahikawa

I booked a Dormy Inn chain hotel, and the room was quite spacious. The rooftop hot spring was excellent, and they even had a sauna and ice cream. It was also pretty quiet at night. Oh, and after 9:30 PM, they offer complimentary cold noodles as a late-night snack, which is a nice touch.

It is said that it is a hotel that has been in business for more than 80 years. The interior design of the store is very exquisite, especially the hot spring area, which has an ancient but beautiful feeling. The bathrobe prepared in the room is folded with corners after ironing. It is very ritual to wear to the hot spring. The staff's service attitude is also very good and I feel the intention.

Everything was great. Proximity to the Asahikawa station was very useful and helpful, especially with all the snow. The amenities were nice. I especially liked the apple tea. Breakfast was an affordable nice buffet with plenty of options to choose from. Seating was easy to get.

A good option for solo skiing in Asahikawa. After breakfast, head to the bus station. I personally think walking to the OMO7 bus stop (about 10 minutes) is better, as you can board directly. If that's closer, you can go to the station bus stop (7 minutes), but you'll have to wait for the bus. The advantage is you can leave later, but the disadvantage is that it might be full and you'll have to wait for an extra bus or sit in the aisle. Free chicken curry rice is available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 7 PM. New towels and toothbrushes are provided daily. Lotion can be picked up in the lobby on the first floor. Delivery packages (ski equipment, etc.) can be collected. The room is spacious for one person, and economical for two.

Hotel's about 10 minutes walk by the track on pedestrian walkway from the station. There's a 7-11 across. Quiet area. Great Onsen with jacuzzi and ishiburo (stone tub) as well as the usual hot and cold pools with sauna. There's no water in the room but they give each guest a coin for their own drinks at the Onsen. Every evening til 9pm, there's free sampling of sakes. Last night, there were five bottles and cos there are no staff, you can sample them unlimited! I think I had about 300ml total. There's free soup but I'd skip them.

The location was fantastic, walking distance from station and on the same block as the main shopping street. This is a small Japanese apartment, so felt a little cramped using the bed and sofa bed. However all important amenities were provided. Great to use the kitchen and laundry facilities. Management company was very professional and responsive. Some dust and hairs were found so would like some more attention to the cleaning.

I've stayed at countless hotels during my trips to Japan, and even the old and small ones have always felt worth it. This is truly the first one that I genuinely regret. First, the location. On the map, it doesn't seem far from the JR station, but walking there is a real trek. Whether it's summer or winter, with or without luggage, the path itself is fine, but it's just so far and tiring! Second, the service is very inattentive. I booked a triple room, and I've never encountered a hotel that forgot to make up the third bed! Then, this is an old hotel that was acquired, renovated, and reopened. The overall impression is a bit like a botched renovation project – very makeshift, cobbled together, and carelessly done. They only renovated the parts they want you to see, and for the rest, they just put up a wooden board to cover it up. I booked this place specifically because of the Hoshino Resorts name, and I feel a bit deceived! Finally, the breakfast indeed tastes good, but the variety isn't extensive, though you can get full. If you don't book in advance, you can't add it on the day. If you're just going for the breakfast, I mean, where can't you find breakfast?! (The photos are what they want you to see; imagine the unseen parts yourself!)

The room was really small and the hotel itself was quite old. There's a hot spring bathhouse on the basement level, which is convenient for showering, and toiletries can be picked up for free in the lobby, which is well-stocked. There's a self-service laundry room on the ground floor; washing and drying are separate, and the dryer isn't very efficient, so plan your laundry time accordingly. The restaurant is on the top floor with a beautiful view, and the breakfast is very rich with daily rotating dishes – they put a lot of effort into it. The location is great, not far from Asahikawa Station, and dining is very convenient with many restaurants to choose from.

It was alright. Since it was peak snow festival season and we were staying for a long time, this was the only hotel that had rooms available for consecutive nights. We initially booked for a week, then extended for three more days. Note that if you extend your stay, even if it's the same room type, you'll be reassigned to a different room and have to check out before checking back in, which is very inconvenient. This was something I'd never experienced before staying at a hotel in Japan, so this aspect of the experience wasn't great. The location wasn't very convenient either; the distance from the station was awkward—not far, but not close either. Walking around to Aeon Mall in the snow was quite tiring. Aside from that, everything was pretty good. The service was excellent, and the breakfast was quite plentiful. The roasted baby potatoes were delicious; I ate several every day.

This is a traditional, family-run inn that truly excels in hospitality and personal charm. I booked a room with a private bath; it was exceptionally spacious at nearly 40 square meters, and we had the entire floor to ourselves. Our private bath was conveniently located directly on the rooftop, situated at the highest point of the small hill, offering an amazing soaking experience. The family operates their own restaurant, and both breakfast and dinner were delightful. This was our children's favorite hotel of the entire trip, providing fantastic value for money. They even have a nostalgic 90s-era arcade! It's definitely a top choice for travelers on a self-drive trip. The owner and staff were incredibly warm, enthusiastic, and kind. A huge thank you once again for their wonderful hospitality!
