Independent, Sounkyo hotels

"Wonderful place to stay "

"Perfect food and good quality. Beef at dinner is simply gorgeous. Excellent staff hospitality l. Couldn't ask for anything better. Onsen a bit outdated and small with no massage bubbles, etc. Other than this all good."

"Great onsen experience. Quite town with "

"The service of the hotel is very good. The hotel provides free drinks and supper. The private onsen is free too."

"The mixed gender outdoor hot spring with swim wear provided was excellent. Our room had a mini zen garden inside, and we fell asleep to the sound of the river behind the hotel. Breakfast and dinner buffets provided ample options, including a make your own hotpot for one. A great place to relax and spend the night after exploring Kurodake ropeway and the surrounding portion of Daisetsuzan National Park."

"Dated hotel, as are all the hotels in the area, but very well maintained. Staff were all superb and the food service was very efficient and tasty. Not Michelin starred, but neither is the cost. "

"This was such a treat of a hostel, and for a great price too. Really no complaints about the hostel itself, but be sure to know what you are getting into when you book. Bathing is done via an on-site onsen that is open from 7pm to 9am. If you are used to onsens this won't be a problem, but watch out if you've never used one before as it is a different experience. There is also nearly nothing going on in the area surrounding the hostel, so be sure to bring food with you from whatever city you are coming from as there is no convenience store, market, and only 1 restaurant within 30 miles. If climbing mount asahidake and knowing what you are getting into, this hostel is AMAZING!"

"The hotel is very old, like 1.5 start. It’s in front of a river with mountain view. "

"Ideally located near the Asahidake Ropeway. The rooms were large and very comfortable. The onset/spa was spotless and spacious. "
