Mountain view Hotels in Kamikawa District

"The facilities are generally old. I think people might have different opinions on the facilities and cleanliness. I was a bit surprised that the room key and locker key were actual physical keys. The hot spring facilities are old, but they give a natural hot spring feel, so it's not bad. Breakfast is simple but offers a good variety of Japanese dishes. The location is great as it's right next to major tourist attractions. However, it's quite secluded with nothing around, and the way there isn't easy to find."

"The room was huge, the biggest and most expensive hotel I stayed at during this trip to Japan. It included breakfast and dinner, and the meals were quite varied and plentiful. The only thing I want to complain about is an older male staff member, I'm not sure if he was a supervisor or something, but his attitude was terrible, as if everyone owed him a lot of money, always with a sour face. The female staff members inside were all very good, especially one of them, who really touched me. When I called the hotel for help after getting into trouble in Daisetsuzan (Mount Daisetsu) during heavy snow, her professional and serious attitude was incredibly moving. I would definitely stay here again next time."

"I’ve heard about K’s through a hiking blog. It was a highly recommended base to do hikes around Asahidake Onsen. The location of the guesthouse couldn’t be more perfect- walking distance to the ropewa and also in between the local hikes around the area. The best part of staying at K’s were the volunteers. Maria, in particular, makes sure that the guests are comfortable and attended to. She even informed me of a local festival. The onsen area is also so nice- perfect to wrap up the day in after a long hike. My only suggestion would be to keep the onsen available at least up to the 11am check out time (it’s closed between 9am-3pm for cleaning which I understand also). All in all- great experience!"

"This hotel is the largest in Sounkyo Onsen, with a spacious and tidy lobby. They offer 24-hour complimentary beverages and coffee, which is very convenient. The staff are attentive and responsible; they immediately assisted with luggage and directed parking right from the entrance. The room size was just right, and the bedding was comfortably firm. The hotel boasts three excellent hot springs, none of which were crowded, making for a truly relaxing experience. Both breakfast and dinner are buffet-style, featuring a wide variety of delicious Hokkaido specialties. Highly recommended!"

"From the moment the shuttle picked us up from the Tabist Hotel in Asahikawa to our check-in, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We accidentally left our thermos on the shuttle, and they quickly retrieved it for us. The onsen (hot spring bath) itself had a distinct sulfur smell, which I absolutely loved! The bingo game at 8 PM (500 yen per card) really got the atmosphere going. The only downside was dinner; when we arrived around 6:45 PM, almost all the food was gone. A large tour group arrived shortly after, and even then, the food wasn't replenished. They just brought out fried chicken wings and fried fish, and even drinks weren't restocked in time. We ended up just eating ice cream, which made us feel colder and colder. It felt like they were afraid of people actually eating, which I really disliked. I would have been more impressed with a kaiseki meal in that situation. However, what I really need to complain about is the 'Sounkyo Ice Waterfall Festival.' It's unacceptable that just because we arrived on the last day, there was absolutely nothing left. All the attractions were gone, leaving only sponsor flags. How many fireworks were there? If the organizers charge an entry fee, shouldn't there be corresponding insurance? There wasn't any. I know that ice sculptures can be slippery, but simply throwing down a few plastic anti-slip mats isn't a proper solution. I had to keep reminding my elderly companions, 'Watch your step!' Unfortunately, one of our elders still fell. When we asked the event staff for assistance, we were told that since we were independent travelers, only our own insurance would cover it. The most they could do was have our hotel staff call an ambulance. Is that right? The rest of our trip was completely ruined because of this... completely ruined."

"Highly recommend Hotel Kumoi. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We arrived later due to heavy snow. Staff kindly offered to extend bath hours to accomodate which we greatly appreciated. Room was clean and spacious. Free parking available. Walking distance to daisetsuzan ropeway."

"4th night hotel, Sado Japanese Inn, too late to book a room, can only book a more partial place, located next to the sky, the hotel is by the river, the mountain pass fresh air, rooms are unified room type, although the place is remote, but many people stay, indoor and outdoor hot springs, dinner and breakfast general, but a surprise is horse meat sashimi"

"Hotel staff are very friendly with clear instructions in english. The room was on the level above some steps without lift so not convenient for people with big luggage. Room was decent in size with small bathroom. Room decoration can be improved. Food provided by the hotel is good and decent variety. Check out was smooth."

"Service: The staff were very dedicated, making guests feel that they were getting good value for money at a high-end hotel. Environment: My daughter said the room was like something out of Harry Potter and she loved it. The facilities are a bit old but well-maintained. The hot springs are natural (though water is added). This is the first time I've encountered a Japanese hotel where you have to bring your own towels from your room to the public bath, which was quite inconvenient. Facilities: The lobby has a 24-hour convenience store for daily necessities. We had dinner for two nights and actually found the Western food better than the Japanese. The teppanyaki smoke was so strong that all our clothes needed to be re-washed. Also, I booked a room for two adults. Upon arrival, we were informed that if we had a child and didn't request an extra bed, there would be an additional charge of about 100 yen per night per room. Breakfast for the child was 150 yen, and dinner was also 150 yen, but it was a complete children's meal set, not the same as the adult meal, which wasn't very cost-effective."

"Located near Biei Station, it features complete Japanese-style home furnishings, making it suitable for family outings."
