Ryounkaku

Amazing food, gorgeous view from the room, in-house onsen.

The futon mats were very thin - I've slept on much more comfortable ones.

Location superb, Cosy, comfortable. Great food and service

Excellent food, friendly, helpful staff. Amazing views. Beautiful rustic onsen built around giant boulders covered with moss.

It seems like they put new fixtures in the community bathroom since I was there two years ago, but they took out a bidet toilet and replaced it with a squatty-potty. They need more bidet toilets. The two onsens (male and female) are different from one another, vapor cave in the women's. They switch them only for the night time after 8 pm and then back at 8 am, so if you only bathe once per day you won't see both of these amazing onsens. I kinda wish they would swap them on alternating days.

Great food, great onsen, great vibes. Would definitely go back and stay longer.

You need a car to get there so it was a great drive in January up the mountain with a lot of snow. The view from the top is amazing. The outer onsen area is not large and the baths are outdated. But you do have clear view of the mountain when outside in the hot bath. We had a nice Japanese dinner and breakfast.

I had the expectation of a larger outer bath, however at this period it was not busy at all.

Was amazed they could stay open in the winter at such elevation, but being in the national park, the road is well maintained and reasonably clear. The views were stunning. The location was great for back-country skiing. We had planned to go to Furano to ski but found a way to back-country because we didn't want to leave. The dinner was fantastic and staff so cheerful and nice. We had a large party so got upgraded to a suite with a bath in the room but didn't use it since we restored ourselves in the Onsen which was a little tired, but a great amenity. Also, while our room was Japanese spare, as expected, the beds and bedding were super comfortable, which I didn't expect.

Can find very little fault. Maybe having more trail guidance from the facility on what is open and what is safe would have been helpful. Also, note, there's no lunch and no store within an hours drive so hit a 7-11 or Lawsons on your way for food for the trail or plan to eat Ramen.

The view was spectacular! The staff wonderful! Food fantastic! Will stay again!

Amazing location, very attentive staff. We had a great time

A few facilities are slightly dated
