JürganI am sad I didn’t get to have the free breakfast. The hotel is a little old but other than that there’s nothing to complain about. Great location to stop by.

Calvin ThiaI had an enjoyable stay at Akan Yuku no Sato Tsuruga. The hotel offers a relaxing atmosphere and is a wonderful place to experience the beauty of Lake Akan.
The service was excellent throughout my stay. The staff were warm, attentive, and professional, always greeting guests with a smile and making every interaction pleasant. Their hospitality really enhanced the overall experience.
The onsen facilities were one of the highlights of the hotel. They are spacious, beautifully designed, and have a luxurious feel, offering a great variety of indoor and outdoor baths. The only minor drawback was that the top-floor outdoor bath did not appear to be as clean as the other baths. Overall, the onsen experience was still great.
The room was a little on the compact side, but it was clean, comfortable, and well maintained.
Overall, I had a great stay and Akan Yuku no Sato Tsuruga is a great choice in Lake Akan.

SummerThe bus stops right in front of the hotel when returning to Kushiro from Lake Akan. It is very convenient. There are izakaya ramen shops and convenience stores nearby. The breakfast is rich and the service is also very good. It is not far from the JR station.

MnonisLovely hotel with very friendly staff. Enjoyed the wagyu beef & sashimi at buffet dinner.
Foreign staff is able to communicate in English & makes the stay more pleasant.
Lake view room is worth the higher room cost.
The hotel room is big but dated. Toilet is too small for comfort. Shower cubicle is old & shower head water flow is quite pathetic. Room also smell of cigarette smoke though it is non-smoking room.
Above all, the pros superceded the cons & we will come back again.

It was not entirely clear at time of booking whether I would be assigned a dorm bed and arrived prepared to be so assigned. I believe the situation is the dorm is reserved for group reservations so you normally be assigned a private room with shared bathroom. This made the room a great value and a memorable stay.

Guest UserA truly memorable traditional Japanese experience.
This is a very traditional Japanese hotel where we had the opportunity to experience staying in a tatami-style room for the first time. It was a unique and enjoyable experience for our family, and one of the highlights of our trip.
The hotel staff provided excellent service throughout our stay. The onsen was particularly impressive and was ranked by my family as the best among all the hotels we stayed at during our journey.
The hotel enjoys a beautiful location directly in front of Lake Akan, allowing us to wake up to stunning lake views in the morning. The peaceful surroundings create a sense of serenity and make it a perfect place to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The location is also very convenient. The Lake Akan sightseeing cruise is located right next to the hotel, while the Ainu Village, shops, and restaurants are all within easy walking distance.
Our stay included a traditional Japanese-style dinner, which was a completely new experience for us. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family. Breakfast was also included, giving us the opportunity to sample a variety of Japanese dishes.
Overall, this was a unique and unforgettable stay that allowed us to experience traditional Japanese culture, hospitality, and cuisine in a beautiful lakeside setting.

The hotel's location is excellent; it's a two-minute walk straight ahead after turning left from the JR station. There's a bus stop and a sightseeing bus pick-up point right outside the entrance. It's also just over a ten-minute walk to Nusamai Bridge. The hotel breakfast is delicious, and there are complimentary alcoholic beverages and soft drinks on the first floor in the evenings. They also offer free hot springs. The only downside is the questionable cleanliness, which needs improvement.

Guest UserWe stayed in a double room for 3 nights. It's a few minutes walk from the station. Because it is snowy now, sometimes it is a bit tough. I love that the room has a separate bath and toilet unit. The sink is outside, that's is more convenience. We enjoyed the onsen every evening.
I did the laundry here, and the dryer is good.
The only thing we didn't enjoy is the breakfast. It seem to have to much potatoes related dishes.

Guest UserIt has good access from the station. It's on the opposite side of the railway tracks from the downtown area along the Kushiro River. If walking, you can reach Kushiro Station via a pedestrian bridge or underground passage. There is ample parking. There is a large public bath on the first floor (about 8 people in the washing area). Bicycle rentals are available for nearby places (there are no convenience stores nearby). The basic necessities are provided.

The hotel side is adequate but simple. The restaurant part should be avoided, food basic cheap and the worse of our two weeks in Hokkaido. Staff was unfriendly to say the least. There is a beer box at the entrance of the restaurant, but that is ”outside” . We thought we should take the beer before entering the restaurant, and that got the staff just about scream at us, because beer is sold inside! Breakfast is from 7 to 9 and while we were finishing our breakfast started at 8.30 waitress showed up saying we should be out by 9 as they closed! Very close to Akan crane center but the worse accomodation of hokkaido, to be avoided if you can. All other places we stayed people were most friendly!
