Kushiro City Hotels with Free Parking.

Toyoko Inn has always been a budget hotel suitable for transit. It has complete facilities but the rooms are small and compact, comparable to the Orange Crystal in China. It has a high cost-effectiveness and provides free budget breakfast. The advantage is that it is close to various stations. It is recommended to apply for a membership card.

Although it's not a hot spring hotel, the bathrooms in the hotel rooms are very thoughtfully designed. There's a variety of bath salts to choose from in the lobby, followed by a larger bathtub with a faucet next to it, just like in a hot spring, so you can wash yourself clean before soaking in the tub. Just across the bridge from the hotel is Fisherman's Wharf and Shore Fireplace. Breakfast is delicious with three options, and I highly recommend it.

The room was fantastic! I felt like I got my money's worth just from the buffet – I stayed for 4 days and gained 1kg! Soaking in the hot springs twice a day was incredibly relaxing. The ice activities on Lake Akan were a lot of fun. There's a free shuttle to the Lake Akan Ski Resort, where I skied for 3 days and finally got the hang of it. This stay was incredibly good value for money.

Stayed at The Forest Akan Tsuruga Resort for three nights during our visit to Lake Akan. The location is excellent, within easy walking distance of the lakeside, Ainu Kotan, visitor centre, restaurants, Kamuy Lumina, and many of the area's attractions. It made exploring Lake Akan very convenient without needing transportation. The hotel itself has a warm, cozy atmosphere that blends nicely with the surrounding nature. Breakfast was especially enjoyable, with local favourites such as sweet shrimp sashimi and natto. While our initial room was not quite ideal for our personal preferences, the staff were helpful in assisting us with a room change, and we ended up in a room that suited us much better. Their assistance was greatly appreciated. One small observation is that during our three-night stay, the buffet menu remained largely the same each day. While the food was good, we found ourselves becoming a little repetitive by the second and third day. Guests staying for a longer period may appreciate a bit more variation in the menu. The hotel also offers a public bath, although we did not use it during our stay, so I am unable to provide any comments or review on that facility. One thing worth noting is that the hot spring bathing tax is still charged as part of the stay, regardless of whether guests choose to use the public bath facilities. Another plus is the coin-operated laundry facilities, which are very useful for travellers staying several days or moving between destinations. What I enjoyed most was using the hotel as a base to experience Lake Akan. During our stay we explored the forests, visited Ainu Kotan, walked the Kamuy Lumina trail, took the sightseeing cruise, visited the Marimo Exhibition and Observation Center, spotted deer and foxes, and enjoyed beautiful lake views. On our final evening, the weather was perfect. We watched the sunset over Lake Akan and later enjoyed a sky full of stars. It was a memorable way to end our stay. Overall, The Forest Akan Tsuruga Resort is a comfortable and convenient base for exploring Lake Akan and the surrounding area. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

The hotel is conveniently located across from the JR station. There is a coin laundry on the premises, but the breakfast selection is limited.

We had a lovely stay at Hotel Gozensui in Lake Akan. The location is fantastic — the frozen lake and all the winter activities are just a short walk from the hotel. The staff were very helpful and welcoming, and even though English wasn’t widely spoken, they really tried their best to assist with anything we needed. Our room faced the lake and the view was beautiful, especially at night when we could watch the fireworks right from the room. A very memorable stay in Lake Akan.

We booked this hotel for its proximity to the Kushiro train station and bus station (these were just opposite the hotel) which saved us the walking in snowy conditions. The triple room we booked was surprisingly bigger than I would imagine for a typical Japanese hotel. We tried the hotel breakfast and it was good for value and have a spread of food choices. The staff were friendly and despite of language barrier, we managed to be able to request for assistance. I would like to thank Ryoyo for his help in checking for alternative bus to Sapporo due to train suspension and he further helped to contact our Sapporo hotel to inform that we will arrive later due to unforeseen train suspension. As per other reviews about the attitude of the hotel staff, I personally feel that they are really helpful but might appear rude to foreigners as they are not good at expressing themselves. The hotel has a manga corner and amenities shelf which you can grab special hair amenities and other types of pillows. There is also free washing machine which my husband used it daily to wash his clothes, free onsen and coffee. Overall, this hotel has great amenities and facilities. The famous tourist attractions were within walking distance from the hotel (MOO/ EGG/ Nusamai Bridge about 15-20mins walk).

We took a tour bus directly to the New Akan Hotel. The hotel is very grand, and although it's a bit old, it's very well-maintained with a European-American style decor. I booked a Japanese-style lake view room in advance, and the size was definitely larger than what was stated in the description, at least 30+ square meters. The indoor and outdoor onsen, all-you-can-eat dining, and service were all excellent. The location is superb, close to both the onsen street and the ice mountain attractions. There are two minor drawbacks: the dinner includes a buffet yakiniku, and the smell can't be dissipated, so the entire public area smells like it... thankfully, the rooms are fine. Also, as many have mentioned, there are a lot of tour groups, all from Taiwan, so the hotel is crowded everywhere you go. You need to plan your meals and onsen visits to avoid peak times. Despite this, the hotel's order is still quite good. The internal shops are not tax-free. If I have the chance to come again, I would still choose this hotel, but I'd try to avoid the times when there are large tour groups, as the environment is quite important when you're on vacation!

I stayed here for the first time in May. The parking lot was spacious and the large public bath was nice, so I made a reservation without hesitation this time. It's just a short walk from the station, so I was able to see the marsh bell on the platform and the beautiful sunset. The breakfast area was spacious and the morning sun streamed in through the glass windows, making it a great way to start the day. The staff were all very friendly, so I'd definitely like to return. The view from my room was also great.

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!
