3-Star Hotels in Hokkaido, Japan

Kudos to this hotel. My stay there was amazing. The hotel is close to streetcar station, but during winter it still pretty challenging to pull your luggage. That is expected situation for any hotel in Hokkaido 😆. The receptionist was really helpful. She help to call taxi for me when I don’t know how to do so.

My Stay at Fairfield by Marriott Hokkaido Naganuma – A Pleasant Surprise in Hokkaido The Fairfield by Marriott Hokkaido Naganuma was one of the most unexpectedly comfortable stops during my recent self-drive trip around Hokkaido. Located in the peaceful town of Naganuma, it’s about a 30-minute drive from New Chitose Airport and roughly one hour from central Sapporo. While it’s far from the bustling city center, that distance is exactly what gives the place its rare sense of tranquility. When I arrived at the parking lot in the middle of winter, my car was covered in snow. Before I could even grab a shovel, a staff member came over with a friendly smile and quickly cleared the snow off the vehicle for me. The service was warm, efficient, and genuinely thoughtful—it made the whole check-in experience feel smooth and welcoming right from the start. The room impressed me immediately with its generous size. Compared to many typical Japanese business hotels, the space here feels noticeably roomy. I could easily open my large suitcase fully and organize everything without everything feeling cramped. The bed was comfortable, and the large windows offered an open view of the surrounding fields (a pure white snowscape in winter), which made the stay very relaxing. Cleanliness is another standout feature. The entire hotel was impeccably maintained—floors, bathroom, bedding, everything spotless. There wasn’t the slightest odd smell in the air, and I slept very soundly every night. The surroundings are extremely quiet. At night you hear almost no traffic or human sounds—just the soft whisper of wind. It’s the perfect place if you’re looking to escape city noise. The downside is that there are no convenience stores within walking distance, so if you don’t have a car it can be inconvenient. I recommend stocking up on snacks and drinks at a roadside station (Michi-no-Eki) or supermarket before checking in. Scenery-wise, the hotel is surrounded by wide Hokkaido plains. In winter it’s an endless blanket of snow; in summer I imagine it turns into lush green fields—either way, it’s incredibly photogenic and healing for the eyes. Although it takes about an hour to drive to central Sapporo, having a car turns this “remoteness” into an advantage: you can easily reach nearby hot springs, farms, or head further north to other attractions. In summary, this hotel is an excellent choice for self-drive travelers looking for a comfortable overnight stop or anyone who wants a quiet, restful base. Great value for money, spotlessly clean, friendly and attentive staff, plus that peaceful away-from-it-all atmosphere—I’d happily return on my next Hokkaido trip.

The room isn't huge, but there's just enough space by the bathroom door for two suitcases. To fully open them and pack, you'll need to use the bed, which is typical for Japanese hotels, so it's acceptable. It's a bit of a walk to Susukino subway station, a few blocks away, and it's even harder in the snow. I had to go to the Susukino airport bus stop, which is only a few hundred meters away, but with snow and luggage, it would have taken about 40 minutes to walk. I ended up taking a taxi from the hotel entrance, costing less than 100 RMB, and got there in just a few minutes, which was very convenient. Overall, the price was reasonable, around 400+ RMB per night.

This hotel is super close to Tomakomai Station, and the rooms are quite spacious. The breakfast was excellent, and the service was fantastic. In the evening, when the bedside display wouldn't turn off, I contacted the front desk, and they responded very quickly, bringing tape and paper to cover it up and solve the problem.

The place is fairly conveniently and centrally located. Easy to get to many places just by walking. There is a bus stop to the Chitose airport that’s fairly close to the hotel. The breakfast is not bad, although seems to have not changed during my stay. The laundry is slightly costly but amazing, works really well. There are two problems. One is that the bathroom smells bad. I cannot really manage this issue after two days. Another issue is that the elevator to the breakfast restaurant seems to be a bit dirty and there’s no one cleaning it.

This hotel use the self check in system. However they don't remind guest about the check out time so I am never informed about the check out time. Finally the last day, the receptionist just came to my door at 10:00 and told me I need to pay. I was shocked and asked politely about not charging extra money and got out the room at 10:20. They finally still needed to charge me 2000 Yan. I requested to have the price list and all policies about the check in and check out. THE MAN RECEPTIONIST CAME INTO MY ROOM AND SHOWED ME THE BOOKLET. ONLY ME AND HIM IN THE ROOM, THEN HE SHOUTED AT ME IN JAPANESE RUDELY !!!! I have the right to understand all the pricing and information although I have time exceed, I can pay however I don't deserve the bad attitude of their hotel service. It is the WORST STAY EVER in my life. The time was 31st Dec 10:30 a.m. when he shouted at me. SHAME ON HIM AND THE HOTEL.

1. The hotel is conveniently located right next to the Kitanomine ski resort, just across the street. Ski rentals are available directly at the hotel, and there's a very enthusiastic young man from Taiwan who works there. The prices are also the cheapest, highly recommended. 2. Transportation: There's a direct bus from New Chitose Airport that stops right at the hotel entrance, making it a seamless journey. The bus stop for Biei and Asahikawa is directly opposite the hotel's main entrance, with a direct Lavender Bus service that accommodates luggage. 3. Dining: We booked breakfast and dinner. Breakfast has a 1-hour limit, and dinner has a 90-minute limit. Both breakfast and dinner were very rich and plentiful. Dinner even included BBQ, though the dishes didn't change daily. Beer and sake were all-you-can-drink. 4. Entertainment: The hotel offers free 24-hour beverage machines. There are also scheduled times daily for roasted marshmallows, baked potatoes, cookies, and beer time, which the kids really enjoyed. There's also a children's play area. 5. Room: We had a triple room. The room wasn't very big and was a bit dated, but the heating was excellent. 6. Onsen (Hot Spring): There are two pools, one at room temperature and one at 40 degrees Celsius. It was quiet and not crowded.

Perfect location as is very convenient and walkable distance to many places. Will definitely return to stay when visit Sapporo. Room and toilet are very clean and looks like new. We stay for 4 nights. Staff are friendly and very helpful. We also enjoyed the complimantary coffee at the reception area. You may loan from hotel.some essential items example hair straighteners, nail clipper, cables. Keep up the good work.

Facilities: Okay Cleanliness: Okay Ambiance: Okay Service: Okay The hotel is just diagonally across from Hakodate Station, less than a ten-minute walk away. Since we arrived at noon and couldn't check in yet, the front desk staff guided us to a dedicated room for self-service luggage storage. We then asked for a map and advice on how to best plan our sightseeing in Hakodate. She suggested we take a taxi directly to Hachiman-zaka Slope, as the bus services there are infrequent. After visiting that attraction, we could then go to other sights like Mount Hakodate, Motomachi Park, and the Red Brick Warehouses. For tomorrow morning, we could simply enjoy a sea urchin rice bowl at the Morning Market before heading off to Asahikawa, making for a relaxed trip.
