The facilities are a bit outdated (as you can see in the pictures).

Excellent location, amazing lake view and two minutes from the bus station. Friendly, helpful staff.

nothing really

Some areas especially the onsen could be upgraded without losing the old style.

Authentic old school ryokan. It’s like going back in time. I think it’s good cause you get to experience the past atmosphere.

Onsen public bath.

Convenient location and on waterfront property, perfect spot to watch the nightly fireworks. One block to the bus station. Personable staff, who personally and enthusiastically handed a pair of extra large slippers for my husband. We love taking the public buses to Mt. Usu and Toya train station.

The hotel is easily the most dated one in the lake area. There are new properties around. The room is of good size but it looked time had stood still. Our room became hot and stuffy in the middle of the night as the air conditioner was old model.

The lake view and it stands just in front of the ferry cruise centre. Staff at the reception n dining halls spoke little English but they were smiling and helpful.

Great location near the bus terminal and wonderful view of Lake Toya

Breakfast and dinner were too little and not filling.

There is an outdoor onsen. The onsen pool can be heated to your preference. The view from the room is excellent. Breakfast is served at separate tables, not a buffet.

The facilities are a bit rundown but still good value overall

Great location for skiing at Rusutsu

The old facilities, which makes the place seems like frozen in time. There is a toilet in my room, just lacking of bathing room, which you have to go to level 1 common bathroom like the typical onsen in Japan.

Other than the old facilities and lack of common bathroom I think I had quite a pleasant stay. The food is the main reason which I stay here after reading the review and I wasn't disappointed, the food is delicious.

The room was clean and comfortable

As others have mentioned the place is a bit dated now but that is no big deal, main bugbear was could hear people in corridor and doorway was very low so whacked my head a few times

Great value for money - the dinner and breakfast provided were fantastic.

The property has not been updated in years, so the rooms look as if they were decorated in the 1970's however this was quite charming and the rooms and facilities were clean. The included meal was wonderful as well.

The view from the hotel

Stayed in August 2024

Very dated, with seemingly no refurb done ever. Looks just like I imagine it did in the 1970s. The sauna in the men’s onsen wasn’t working, and looked like it hadn’t in a long time. No coffee in the room.

Great location right on the lake. Convenience stores and coffee shops nearby. Check-in was detailed and handled very well. The breakfasts were good - the dinners were great.

only water basin and toilet flush at the room, no bathroom..

Great location with lake view, can view fireworks from the room, dinner & breakfast also nice...

The food was not amazing. The raw fish looked very old and didn't taste very good. The wasabi was also somehow different. We decided to include half board so we dont waste time looking for where we should go to eat but if this is not a problem for you might better get it withoit food. Other than that the amount of food was more than enough. The room is maybe big but 80% of it is tatami. So the space for your luggage is very limited. Felt like there is not enough space.

The staff is polite and responsive. The location of the hotel is amazing (especially when travelling without a car). The onsens were clean (unlike the images I saw) and we enjoyed them. We managed to watch the fireworks both night. The boats doing it are starting from this hotel and then going to the most right hotels. If you go infront of the hotel you can see the whole show clearly, from the room you can probably see 85% of it if you are on a higher floor.

none

Lake view & cozy room. Ample facilities especially onsen, except for sauna. Good location, just short distance of walk to the lake and have a good view of firework.

The only inconvenience is the shared bathroom.

The room window view is excellent, facing Lake Toya. The room is clean and comfortable The dinner is sumptuous.
