A long-established inn ”Yukomaso” of Asahidake Onsen and the Association to Protect Secret Hot Springs. I booked a twin room in the renewed main building. It is sold that there are 5 source baths just to be named Yumoto, but because the facilities are old, there is no clean feeling, and I didn't want to soak in the open-air bath and the indoor bath slowly. Supper is a creative dish ”Yusuzen”. I was a little surprised that biscisowers came out in a vessel that suddenly hollowed out Yubari melon! The sashimi and sashimi are not bad. However, the next awakening croquette of the inca came out with the bag and there was no plate to eat by hand. Next, spring water jelly with chopsticks resting, boiled in white wine of tomatoes. There will be no course setting where things like water confectionery continue. Isn't sweet tomato conport good after meals? The main dish is Japanese black beef soup stock shabu-shabu, which doesn't go well with soup stock and beef. The last sweetness is white coffee pudding with a bottle! It came out. At breakfast, I recommended ”* kake rice with smoked soy sauce”, so I tried it, but the soy sauce was sweet and it didn't taste good. The room is clean and looks modern at first glance, but when you sit on the sofa on the wall, you can't see it in parallel with the TV on the wall. The bed was uncomfortable with a soft urethane mat. I was expecting it because it looks like a popular inn, but the hot springs, food and rooms left a pretty disappointing impression.

The location is good, the price is a bit expensive, and the service is quite satisfactory, but the handling of the problem is relatively rigid. For example, if you want to continue your stay, you must check out at 10 am and wait until 3 pm before you can check in. In the middle of this time, you have to stay in the lobby wait

We wanted to hike to Mt. Asahidake during the Koyo (Fall foliage) season, and among the properties at the base of the mountain, La Vista Daisetsuzan appeared to be the highest end accommodation in the area. Both the outside and inside of the lodge are charming and rustic in appearance, but are definitely showing clear signs of age and wear. In fact, while taking a dip in the communal Onsen (natural hot springs) bath, I overheard two men remarking how the place was ”boro boro” (Japanese for ”really worn down.”) Thankfully, we were relieved to find that La Vista Daisetsuzan was at least quite clean, and did not exhibit the old, moldy smell that is commonplace in older properties. And the dining room seems to have been renovated - we enjoyed our dinner here (more on that in a moment.) We stayed in their ”Luxury Room,” the highest category unit that was a relatively spacious 56m² open-plan Junior Suite. Other rooms on premises are quite a bit smaller, but people used to staying in standard rooms at Marriott-class properties will be more than satisfied with these room types. La Vista Daisetsuzan has a communal, gender-segregated Onsen on site - there is both an indoor and open-air outdoor bath, which is appreciated, especially in the Winter months, given that you'll want to warm up in the indoor bath before jumping into the outdoor one. While we did not have breakfast at the property (we wanted to get an early start on our hike, and we're glad that we did - the sky is more clear and there are less crowds), we had the French-Japanese dinner. To say that the meal exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. We're in Hokkaido, and an hour from the nearest city (Asahikawa), yet every dish was creative, beautifully presented and a feast for the eyes and palate. Everything - from the tuna tartare to the mini quiche to the Foie Gras to the al dente pasta with mushrooms and broccoli - was a highlight. The only serving that did not hit the spot was the main (ocean-) fish dish. The fish was hard and dry - when you're in the center of Hokkaido, perhaps they should focus on other ingredients, or at least serve fish that are fine frozen (like Tuna) or that come from the nearby rivers or lakes. Overall, if we were to make a return trip to the area, we would be more than fine with staying again at La Vista Daisetsuzan. In no way is this a destination unto itself, but if our short but pleasant stay is any indication, it's a very solid higher-end option in Daisetsuzan. It definitely blows away the vast majority of lodges in U.S. National Parks, that's for sure!

Accommodation for family. The meal is a better impression than the price in the morning and evening. It is a large bath, but because of the day trip OK, locals and camping cottages continue 々 night １０, so you can't slow down if you don't come out early in the morning because you come to take a bath. It's a public inn, so it's not possible, but if you care about the local people, it's better to make the cost of bathing in several private rooms to make a bath for the guests. At night ８ I was a little joking with my child at the time, and I complained and the front desk came at ８ halftime. I didn't visit to confirm early time of family accommodation for consecutive holidays. One-sided point. I ran around in a slower time, but I didn't point out that there was no revisit.
