La Vista Akangawa

La Vista Akangawa

Kushiro
This is a Kyoritsu Resort hotel along the Akan River. From the beautiful lobby lounge, you can see the fresh green mountain stream of the Akan River, and you have already gotten excited while drinking coffee in the lounge. There were chairs where you could see the greenery from each corridor, and when I sat and looked at it, there was a deer. The room was on the mountain (forest) side, but this side is in front of the bicycle parking lot. It was a modern and nice room in twin bed room, living area. All rooms have a bath (view bath) with a view of the outside, but I didn't use it because the parking lot was in front of me. I used the relationship. In front of the large communal bath is a mountain stream of the Akan River, and deer have been eating grass all the time near the open-air bath. It was the first time I encountered a deer in the open-air bath. There are bear-avoiding bells down from the top in two open-air baths, which may also be a deer shelter. There are 3 private baths, and you can use them at any time if they are available (only enter, no shampoo, etc.). Supper was served at a large counter seat along the mountain stream. On YouTube, it was introduced as a seat where you can see deer, but deer did not appear. As for the content of the dinner, there were many items to choose from, it was unique, and the breakfast was good. The hotel had a concept, and the hot springs, meals, rooms and hospitality were satisfactory. It is a hotel that I want to visit again in different seasons.

HOTEL GLOBAL VIEW KUSHIRO

Kushiro|0.56km from city centre

Latest booking 23 hrs ago

Located in front of the Kushiro River, it was a convenient location with many restaurants around, 5 minutes walk from Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf Moo where the connecting bus to the airport stops. Because it was a business hotel, check-in in the evening was crowded with salaried men, but check-in in the morning was relatively smooth. There were many breakfast buffets and local ingredients, and the view from the window was wonderful. The open-air bath in the large communal bath was the best, coupled with the cold winter. The sauna was large, but I feel a little low temperature. The room was just the size of the room, and the air purifier was always available and comfortable, but I felt that the electric load on the hotel side seemed to be large because the electric control by the card key was not possible. It is located in front of the Kushiro River, a 5-minute walk from Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf Moo, where the shuttle bus to the airport stops, and there are many restaurants nearby.

Super Hotel Kushiro Natural Hot Springs

Kushiro|0.29km from city centre
After dinner in Kushiro downtown, I took a taxi to the cold of too much, and when I said, ”super hotel far from the station”, it was returned to ”kurokin Cho”, so when I went to Takashi, I went to ”kurokin Cho” It seems better to say. But there is no distance from the station. It is farther to go to downtown. The room is necessary and sufficient as a business hotel. It is cleaned properly, the atmosphere of the whole hotel is good, and the service like a super hotel such as providing pajamas and pillows separately. Even if it is manual, the unified service in the whole country can be relieved. However, last year, I used a small hotel in the neighborhood that was a little cheaper for Kushiro 2 nights, but I was satisfied with it, so I want to choose breakfast service, the existence of a large bath, and the balance of the whole facilities. Super hotels will be easy to choose in the sense that the price is affordable and available without anxiety. I tried this time and felt like that again. What was happy with the amenities was that shaver had shaving cream. There are many business hotels in the city, but there are still many places in the country. This is happy because it is easy to lose razor. The public bath is divided into men and women in time. Men are from 21 o'clock at night to 6:30 in the early morning. Before and after that is women. Personally, I'm glad to use it in the morning, but it's decided, so this is no choice. I used a large bath before I went to bed and used a shower in the room after I got up. It is not confirmed where it is, but the hot spring is a transportation hot spring. Hot spring with a smeared skin touch. It seems to be a hot spring if it is like a hot spring. The distance between the washroom and the bathtub is close, so I'm worried about how to use it roughly. I want a note. I thought I would have a little breakfast, but when I entered the fourth night, the body was tired and the stomach was tired, and I couldn't confirm it because I gave priority to sleeping rather than eating. I'm sorry.
Akan Tsuruga Besso Hinanoza
4.8/548 Reviews

Akan Tsuruga Besso Hinanoza

Kushiro
We spent two nights at this property earlier this month, as Akanko (i.e. Lake Akan) has a variety of things to do and we wanted to make the most of our time there. The Lake Akan area of Eastern Hokkaido is blessed with some of the country's most incredible natural environments including old-growth forests, a pristine lake, scenic mountains, mud volcanoes and the Marimo, a unique and unusual freshwater green algae that is shaped like a green ball and which can grow to about the size of a volleyball. There is also a cultural element to the area, as Ainu Kotan is one of Hokkaido's largest Ainu (indigenous people) settlements with roughly 130 individuals calling the place home. Aino Kotan has a main ***** that has a variety of stores selling Ainu handicrafts as well as restaurants serving traditional Ainu cuisine. There is also a museum and a performing arts center, giving visitors the opportunity to enjoy a variety of Ainu performing arts. You can also reserve a private guided tour with an Ainu descendent who you will follow through a pretty forest while he/she explains how the Ainu used to live. Akan Tsuruga Besso Hinanoza (that's its full name) is a luxury ryokan established in 2004 by the Tsuruga Group, and is just steps away from the lake shore. It's ideally situated - almost everything we wanted to experience (Ainu Village, Lake cruise, hiking, shopping) is within short walking distance from the ryokan. That said, the entire town is clustered in a small area along the South shore of the lake, so wherever you stay, it's going to be convenient. The property is in a nondescript 7-story building, although it's in pretty good shape from the outside (which is not the case with many older ryokans of this type.) Inside, in the common areas there are a variety of wood carvings that are on display; the indigenous Ainu are renowned for their woodworking skills, the displays are a wonderful tribute to the local Ainu artisans. Of the 25 rooms at Hinanoza, 4 of them are Tokubetsu-****su (”Special”) units that are 110m² in size, and are denoted as Ama no Za Suite. Our Tokubetsu-****su was on the 6th floor (the highest floor among guest rooms), and was named the Hina no Za (#601.) As is the case with most suites at top ryokans, it featured a living room, a tatami room and a separate bedroom. The decor and furnishings were Japanese-contemporary and of high quality - the hard product was fantastic overall. The Onsen bath is located on the deck, and is free-flowing and not recirculated... perfect. As was the case with Sanyoan, our Special room had two toilets in different areas of the Suite, although - curiously - featured only one sink. Mrs. KI-NRT would take that trade-off any day of the week. Hinanoza does have the obligatory Daiyokujo (gender-segregated communal Onsen bath), but given that every room here has en-suite Onsen, the vast majority of guests will never leave the comforts of their room. It was empty every time we took a peak in the Daiyokujo. All

Super Hotel Kushiro-Ekimae

Kushiro|0.58km from city centre
It's not in front of the station than I expected, but it's located across the bus terminal from the station, and the location is good, with free breakfast, so I think the cospa is good. (Service / support) It is not 24h support such as the front desk, but it is friendly and reasonable. (Room) It's still small, but if you don't have business use or luggage, you don't have to say anything. If you divide it, there is no complaint. The toothbrush is provided and the necessary ones are reasonable because they are brought from the front desk. Pillows can also be added, so it is highly evaluated as a person who likes high-end pillows (you can find your preferences). However, there are quite a few steps in the bathroom and toilet, so it is difficult for people with disabilities and the elderly. Please be careful! There is no WIFI problem. What I was interested in was that I would like you to put about the water in the humidifier in the room. (Equipment) The large communal bath is not separated by men and women, but is it replaced by a system, and the usage time for men and women is limited by time. Also, is it extremely small and the bathtub limited to 3 people? Chlorine disinfection is difficult. The smell remains until about the next morning. Coin laundry, detergent available, and dryer are free. (Breakfast) Well, it's within the price, but it's pretty good for free. China virus support is also properly done. However, there is a tableware return table at the entrance, and my eyes are bad, so I took it from there by mistake at first. I want you to make the display stand out so that you can see that it is a return table. (Others) The sidewalk to the station is very dark. There is no lighting. (Even though it is a bus terminal) Moreover, there are holes and people with visual impairment and bird eyes are at a dangerous level. This is a problem with the city government in Kushiro City, but please be careful when using the railway at night or early in the morning.

Yamahana Onsen Refre

Kushiro|3.6km from Kushiro City Red-crowned Crane Natural Park
Yamahana Onsen Refre is a hotel located in Yamahana, Kushiro City, Hokkaido. On June 28, 2022, I walked to Sarubo Observatory and Sarurun Observatory. From there, I drove to Yamahana Onsen Refre. However, the road that the navigation system showed me was a terrible road (sweat;) If you go a little further, you will come to a beautiful road, so I recommend that (wry smile). Nevertheless, I arrived safely. The parking lot is very spacious. The exterior looks like this. There seem to be 16 rooms. The inside of the building looks like this. First, I checked in at the front desk. On this day, I was in room 211 on the second floor. I was hoping for an ”old lady who couldn't open the door,” but an old lady who entered smoothly (lol). Unfortunately, it was a smoking room, so it smelled a bit like cigarettes. It was a 10-tatami Japanese-style room, and it was surprisingly spacious. There was a TV and a refrigerator. A water heater and a cold water pot. The view from the window looked like this. The Kushiro City Zoo is right next door, and you can see the Ferris wheel. I'm glad there's an electric fan. There's a bathtub, but I probably won't use it because I'll be going to the large public bath. The toilet has a heated seat. Razors are sold for 120 yen. I went to the hot spring right away. Yamahana Onsen is said to be the first hot spring to spring up in Kushiro. The spring water was a little yellowish. It's an alkaline sodium spring. It's said to have the same salt concentration as seawater. It's a shame that there's no wifi. I didn't have a Rakuten mobile line, so I connected with au's 1Mbps. It was 17,970 yen for two people with one night stay and two meals. It was 6:05, so I had dinner at the restaurant on the first floor. This time, we had a medicinal food menu, and the menu looked like this. I thought it was chawanmushi, but it was tofu. The tempura arrived. Akan pork in a sweet and spicy sauce. Steamed vegetables. It seems that wild vegetables are in season in Hokkaido at this time of year. I also ordered draft beer. The cold sake was ”Fukuji”. This sake is from the only sake brewery in Kushiro, and has a dry sake meter value of +5. The rice is polished to 60%. Rice and miso soup. Jerusalem artichoke tea. Pudding. The amount of * is amazing. It's very mellow and tastes like chestnut. Red kidney beans. The breakfast venue is the same as for dinner. The menu looks something like this. We drove on.

Kushiro Century Castle Hotel
4.3/538 Reviews
Hotel is in a nice spot by the river and harbor, with a Fisherman’s Wharf tourist area 3 minutes walk away. On our arrival walk from the train station we noted the town was a bit depressed and later learned 2 of their 3 main industries were fading (paper and coal declining while fishing booms). Perhaps because of this and lingering pandemic effects, the hotel pulled out some stops to make guests’ stays more enjoyable - complimentary buffet of bath salts and pillows in the lobby, plus complimentary breakfast set options on top of an an already nice buffet. We opted for the seafood breakfast and were extremely happy with it. Our room, a Deluxe Hollywood Twin would be perfect for 2 adults, it was a bit cramped for the 3 of us with a rollaway. The bathroom was a Japanese style wet room which we appreciate. We also used the coin laundry. If you’ve got a car this could serve as a decent base for some exploring. We spent one day on a bus tour up to Lake Akan.

The hotel was great! The onsen was really just a public bath, but was still comfy. Free snacks on the top floor like ice cream, yakult at different timings made it even better. There was even free ramen supper on the ground floor at night. Room was comfy. Location is great, with the airport bus stop just around the corner, and other bus stops to bring us around.
Comfort Hotel Kushiro

I stayed to travel to Kushiro for two days and one night from my stay in Sapporo. When I left the station and looked to the left side, there was a large display at the top of the hotel, and I immediately knew the location. The hotel was clean and the room had everything I needed. He lent me a bicycle at the hotel, so I was able to easily go to Starbucks, the easternmost part of Japan, a few kilometers away. In addition, the hotel staff was very friendly and taught me the recommended izakaya in Kushiro. The sun manma I ate at the izakaya was delicious. The free breakfast was delicious and I wanted to use this hotel when I stayed in Kushiro.

Hinanoza does have the obligatory Daiyokujo (gender-segregated communal Onsen bath), but given that every room here has en-suite Onsen, the vast majority of guests will never leave the comforts of their room. It was empty every time we took a peak in the Daiyokujo. All
