Jozankei Daiichi Hotel Suizantei
061-2303 Hokkaido, Jozankei, Minami-ku Jozankeionsennishi 3-105 , Japan – Great location - show map
The location was a little hard to get to but only because the local buses were a little tricky to navigate for first timers. Reserving a shuttle is much better. Breakfast was excellent though it could have been a little heartier considering the cold weather.

We loved staying at the Jozankei Daiichi Hotel Suizante! The whole experience (room, onsen, scenery, food, etc.) was the highlight of our entire trip. The whole atmosphere was so cozy. The lounge area with included snacks and beverages was also a nice touch. We would definitely come back and recommend the location to others.

Open-air public bath - Please make sure you try their open-air public bath! 森乃汤 is our favourite (takes some walk from the hotel building but the experience was very nice!)

Everything about the hotel. My first time experiencing Ryokan and it was wonderful. Unlike the review, quite a few staff at the reception area were able to speak English and they are friendly to foreigners. The outdoor onsen was great and with adequate privacy. Room was a bit too warm during winter with the heater turned on. There are timing for free beer and sakes, sochu etc. It's very worth it if you enjoy drinking.

Clean and very nice interior in the ryokan rooms, staff are very friendly and helpful. However, the rooms are not sound proof at all, we can hear people walking/running upstairs all night and early in the morning, which prevents you from resting peacefully.

친절한 직원 오도리 역에서 셔틀버스 운영(예약제니 미리 말해야함) 개인 방에 딸려있는 노천탕이 너무 좋았다 물을 받아서 쓰는게 아니라 물을 친구랑 같이 써야 했지만 그래도.. 근처 뷰가 너무너무 좋다

やはり、17時からスタートするラウンジでのお酒やいなり寿司の提供はお得感があって良い。部屋から出て、のんびり過ごせる場所があるのは、2回目の訪問を決めた大きな要因でした。 食事の時間を少しずつずらしての予定になっており、密が避けられていた。

ラウンジサービス、風呂の種類の多さ ベテランスタッフがやりがいを持って働いておられるように感じたこと

スタッフの方々のご対応がとても良く、またぜひ伺いたいと思いました。ステキな思い出をありがとうございました。

細やかなおもてなしがとても嬉しかった。 ウェルカムプリンや時間帯でドリンクやちょっとした食べ物を出してくれるラウンジなど

-
- What's a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
-
- What's a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What's a yukata?
- A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
-
- How should I wear a yukata?
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- What's standard bathing etiquette?
- At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.
