"Jozankei Yurakusoan was easily one of the highlights of our stay in Hokkaido. From the moment we checked in, it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into creating a relaxing and memorable guest experience. Every little detail from the warm hospitality to the thoughtful amenities made us feel well looked after.
The biggest highlight was undoubtedly the onsen. The public hot spring baths were excellent, and our room even came with its own private bath, which made for an incredibly peaceful way to unwind. On top of that, the hotel also offers four private onsens that guests can reserve and enjoy, making it easy to have a more intimate hot spring experience.
Guests are provided with comfortable yukatas to wear throughout the property, and shoes are left at the entrance, creating a clean and relaxing atmosphere that quickly feels like home. One of our favourite touches was the complimentary late-night ramen served from 10 pm which was a simple but thoughtful treat after an evening soak in the onsen.
Parking was also convenient thanks to the automated parking garage. Whenever we needed our car, a staff member was always on hand to help retrieve it promptly, and the service throughout our stay was consistently warm and attentive.
The only area that didn’t quite meet our expectations was the kaiseki dinner. While a few dishes were excellent the others were a bit of a miss. Breakfast was similarly elaborate, with multiple courses that felt a little overwhelming for us."
"We stay here every few years and generally have good experiences. In the past it was packed with Chinese tourists but this time there were noticeably fewer. There was a junior high trip which made dinner/breakfast a little more chaotic but I’ve chaperoned that type of trip before and didn’t notice the kids were badly behaved or anything. The food was delicious and the room, while old, was clean. My biggest complaint is with the pools. One was closed and the other one limits the people that use almost all the slides and such to kids 120 cm and under. My 11 year old was pretty bored with nothing to do at the pool. They also used to have free rafts to float on, but no more. Some of the onsen were also under construction but there was still plenty of space. Could have dealt without the old Chinese ladies’s manners in the onsen but I don’t blame the hotel for that. Enjoyed checking out Shiroito waterfall (didn’t realize how close it was). Overall a good stay but not sure we will be back since next time my 7 year old will also be too big for all the pool activities. Price has also increased a lot in the past few years."
"Beautiful property, truly feels like you’ve been transported to a spa in the middle of the forest. The place smells nice and clean, lobby lounge area was outstanding especially with the lovely harpist and photo collections of different sceneries in Japan! The onsen experience was exquisite and buffet was extremely well done."
"This was an amazing Japanese resort experience! The food and drinks were high caliber and included in the package. There were delicacies and food presented in a very unique and very Japanese way. I wasn’t expecting this kind of luxury and cultural experience. It wax truly an incredible place."
