Guest Reviews

• Noguchi (10/5): もう泊まることができないのが、とても悲しくてなりません。 - 綺麗で、接客マナーもお風呂もとてもよいと思います。閉店してしまうのが残念でなりません。 こんな素晴らしいホテルが閉店してしまうのはもったいと思います。
• David (6/5): It was tolerable for 2 days stay but will not stay there again. - The onsen was very good with 5 pools at different temperatures to choose from. All the bugs in your room. Very hard beds. The exterior is very run down and needs a lot of work. Limited parking beside hotel.
• Guest (10/5): 最高です。 - 風呂と近隣施設
• nathalie (8/5): Mitigé. - Très bon emplacement, proche des attractions touristiques et restaurants à pied. L hôtel est vieux et manque de réparation/rénovations. Les couloirs sont vétustes, quelques toiles d araignées. Les chambres sont propres et spacieuses. Les lits sont finalement confortables. Les murs sont fins comme du papier. Heureusement que tout le monde se couchent à 22h. Nous avons bien dormi.Le onsen est propre. Il y a en tout 5 bains, dont 3 de sources chaudes à des températures différentes. Soft , bière et saké a volonté.petit déjeuner correct . Le personnel parle très bien anglais.
• Olivier (8/5): séjour d’un autre temps - hôtel complètement suranné mais avec un charme japonais . très grand et beau onsen
• SHINJI (4/5): - 客室の畳が擦り切れていた（複数の箇所で）。古すぎる。ただ、泉質と朝食は最高だった。
• トシヒコ (10/5): - 温泉は最高です！ 朝食のカレーも美味しかったです。
• Ching Kun (6/5): - Very very old. No air-con. Breakfast is simple. Staff is friendly.
• 黒川 (1/5): 詐欺会社と詐欺ホテル。 - 暑いなかエアコンがなかった。 BOOKING.COMで予約したから。 過剰請求された。
• Hirotoshi (10/5): - スタッフの対応は、とても素晴らしい ホテルの周りが、だいぶ寂しい感じ。
• MING YI (6/5): 飯店設施 - 到飯店後才發現沒有冷氣，當天晚上只能依靠一個電扇來降溫
• Vladimir (9/5): - Hot springs were exceptional. Free sake testing/ soft drinks/coffee. Nothing
• みかちゃん (7/5): 昭和のホテルって、こんな感じ？ - コーヒー、日本酒、ジュースのドリンクサーバーがあった。温泉がよかった。都会のホテルと違ってフロントマンにも話しかけやすかった。 もう、閉館なのでこんなもんかな？と。
• Andrew (8/5): Nice Place / Close to National Park - It was close to the national park. I loved the vibe of the small town, rooms were dated but clean. Added to the ambience of the town. The onsen was nice. Parking was easy. Close walk to everything.
• Deog-Soon (5/5): Old glory... - free drink service. the drinks were also in good taste. Building, room interior and most of facilities were outdated. Room was extremely hot, but no air conditioner in the room.
• Masahito (4/5): -
• Saana (8/5): Outdated but charming, amazing baths - Great bathing facilities with several baths, no issue with tattoos. Free breakfast. Traditional washitsu room with raised beds worked well. Lots of parking space. Charming in a time capsule kind of way. Reception (younger man) spoke good English and was very friendly. The hotel is definitely a little outdated and would benefit from some basic repairs. No aircon, but a fan in the room at least. No plugs near the beds as it was a tatami room with beds added.
• Ian (7/5): Good -
• Keng (3/5): Poor - Hotel room size is ok. No air-conditioned.
• Chung Ming (6/5): - 房間竟然沒有冷氣 非常侷促 希望貴酒店改善 太多昆蟲
• ?? (8/5): - 温泉が、特に良い！
• Wing Sam (8/5): - 有歷史的洒店，房間夠大，早餐好食。很好的體驗。
• Finn (10/5): Exceptional -
• Esther (8/5): - 溫泉好，酒店舒服
• Claire (8/5): Very good -
• Alexander (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ernest (6/5): A quaint property with many memorabilia from the past era - Interesting old world charm Its age is showing in the rooms. The bathroom is tiny. The room door needs careful handling when opening and closing, sign of wear with age. The TV turned on by itself at 4am, a bit spooky.
• Jeremy (2/5): BAD! had to apologize to my family! Not recommending this place at all. Banned! - Nothing much because its a VERY old hotel. Even the phone is a rotary type!! Very pricey. We came from another area very popular and crowded and this place was just barely $100 cheaper and it does not have so many things and has the cheek to charge such a price! No air-con at all. Thankfully, it was beginning to cool down in early Oct, but still, it was not as expected. Can't imagine hotels still do not have a/c at all. Dusty old worned out carpets. The laundry room was in a deep corner of the hotel thats i either being renovated or closed off. The overall hotel looks worned out. From the outside, it even looks closed or abandoned. :( Bed was sagging in the middle, and when we asked for extra pillows, they barely had 2 left in their closet. Its nothing at all like the pictures in Booking.com.
• Alice (8/5): - Property needs Reno
• David (9/5): Good value for money option in Akan-Mashu National Park area - Whilst the public areas reflect the age of the hotel and years of wear and tear, the room I occupied was in pretty good condition. The room was spacious and had all the requisite facilities. It was delightfully warm and cosy all the time. The onsen is a fine facility despite its age and has 4 or 5 baths of varying temperatures. Breakfast was a buffet with a reasonable choice of dishes and started at 6.30, so plenty of opportunity for the quick getaway afterwards. The hotel is also close to a number of pretty decent restaurants. Overall, I enjoyed my 3 nights in this hotel. It's good value for money and a much more affordable alternative than the hotels on either Lake Akan or Lake Kussharo. The only thing I didn't like was that the bed didn't have a headboard which meant that I had to make a workaround so that I could read in bed.
• Esther (7/5): We stayed for 3 nights, breakfast is simple but taste good. Even though the hotel is dated but the room we stayed in has - Great onsen. I don’t feel welcome as a foreign tourist. When front desk staffs were dealing with local visitors, they are lively and cheerful. When is my turn to check in , they just talk like robot . We stayed in room 310, the room is ok, bathroom amenities eg bath and hand soap are all diluted. I used the soap that is provided inside the onsen, they are thick and soapy.
• PATRICK (10/5): - Bon séjour , chambre confortable et onsen très agréable (intérieur et extérieur ).
• Masaki (6/5): - 部屋に冷房がないのは辛い
• David (3/5): Past its prime - Fin de siecle air of slow decline, mainly due to lack of maintenance
• Peter (7/5): Good -
• Peter (6/5): Spaceous rooms, requiring some extra cleaning, and also very hot during summer due to no AC. - A good onsen. In the western room the toilet had a smell of old urine. There was dust several places in the whole room. During the summer the rooms get very hot, and it is difficult to cool down with just a fan. It is also difficult to keep the window open if there is a strong smell of sulphur from the outside. The onsen was good the first time we visited, and not so much the second time where the water temperature was markedly cooler than stated.
• Wan-chung (8/5): - Nice hot springs outdoor and indoor.
• KAMISAKA (6/5): - 部屋にエアコンが無かった。
• kenzo (8/5): - 夕食は現地の居酒屋と思い、火曜日は休みが多く、開いている店に集中し、混雑し、遅いという環境でまともに呑めなかった。ホテルに聞いて出かけたが、状況把握を親身にしてもらいたい。
• Janice (6/5): Room is spacious. Bathroom is musky cos lacks exhaust / ventilator - Like the natural sulphur bath. Good breakfast buffet. Poorly maintained. Felt cheated cos there is no aircon in the room. Fortunately the outdoor temperature was 18-20, I opened the window to let the cold air in
• Paul (9/5): Classic hotel with FANTASTIC baths, in a cool little onsen-town nestled in the mountains. I dig. - Kawayu Onsen is a lovely little spot - as long as this is what you're looking for - and this is the perfect hotel to stay in if you're coming. I've been to a lot of onsen towns in Japan, some with fantastic waters, some with picturesque streets to wander around in your yukata and geta. Kawayu, though, is a quiet little spot nestled in the mountains with lovely people, a bit of a "frontier" vibe and WONDERFUL waters. The town is centred on a great little ashi-yu (natural footbath) a couple of souvenir shops with a wild-west mountain vibe (hand-carved bear-claw pendants, anyone?) some great restaurants (Inaka-ya Genpei - HIGHLY recommended) and an old-skool sumo museum dedicated to a local hero. The hotel itself is a bit "Showa-era-poi" and the waters, for which this town is justly famous, are bloody great. I used not dig the sulphuric (eggy) onsens but this place has converted me: it seems, unlike the vast majority of Japanese onsens, the bath water is not diluted at all, and - due to its purity - there are signs all over as to how long you should spend in each bath (there are a variety of temperatures maintained) so as to not be dissolved away(!) I loved it. I doubt the waters actually have all the healing properties they claim, but they certainly put a smile on my face, This is far from where I live, but I’d love to visit again (wearing my (hand-carved bear-claw pendant)! It's a pretty popular spot, both with tour groups from abroad and with the people of Hokkaido. As a result, the hotel itself was full of families who were (let's be generous here) maybe a little too tired to be able to even attempt to keep their children quiet. But that's hardly the hotel's fault. Maybe I should stop being such a grump. The breakfast was serviceable but hardly exciting - much like the kind of thing you'd find in a mid-range business hotel rather than what you'd expect in a place looking like this. It was OK.
• さき (8/5): - 古い施設ですが、部屋は広いし温泉も良かったです。
• きよゆき (6/5): - エアコンが無く扇風機だった 驚いた
• Kazutoshi (10/5): 湯治場感覚の味わえるホテル - やや設備が古いが、湯治場感覚が味わえる。温泉はよかった。温度が３９℃から４２℃までの浴槽があり、疲れがしっかりとれた。脱衣室には鍵付きのロッカーが欲しい。
• リュウイチ (8/5): - 温泉が良かったです お酒が飲めるサービスも良かったです
• ?? (4/5): - エアコンがない 夜はいいがチェックインから夜までが暑い
• Verified traveler (10/5): A pleasant stay - Good location. Spacious room. Very very friendly staff. Highly recommended!
• Shang (10/5): - Very Good view of Lake Toya!
• Thiem huat (8/5): Very satisfying stay. - Comfortable, quiet stay, with free parking facility, and satisfying breakfast (free), and complimentary sake included.
• Verified traveler (10/5): 出張？旅行？ - 温泉最高！また、ロビーで無料日本酒お試しやコーヒーもあり。更に簡易朝食無料でした。コスパ良いと思います。 施設の老朽化を気にしない方であればお勧めです。
• Siew Chin (8/5): - Very good onsen. Ample space for parking. However there are only a few lots just beside the hotel. The other parkings spaces are a stone throw away. More convenient with own transport.
• Futoshi (10/5): - ここの温泉にはいつも和ませて頂いております。宿の従業員の皆様もみなさん丁寧で心地よい応対をして頂き、とっても素晴らしいお宿です！
• Verified traveler (10/5): - ウェルカムで日本酒の提供が有り感激しました。天然温泉なので気持ち良く入浴しました。　　　後少し気になったのが風呂場の床が滑って危なかった。
• wai kit (10/5): - 非常舒服，很輕鬆
• Marcel (8/5): Nice Japanese room, great onsen. - A bit older hotel, but the room is fine, the breakfast is good and they have a great onsen.
• るみこ (6/5): - 温泉がとても良かったです。
• トシエ (8/5): - 老舗のホテルで建物は古いが、客室内は改装されていて綺麗。トイレに入るために、土足の場所を経由しなくてはならないので、上り框があったら良いなとか、ベッド横にナイトテーブルやコンセントがあったら便利なのになと思った。 コーヒー、ジュース、なんと日本酒のフリーサービスがあった。素敵！ 温泉のお湯が強塩泉で珍しく、温度別に3種類の浴槽もおり、雰囲気も会ってとても良かった。 朝食の種類は少ないが美味しく、スタッフさんが気さくで感じが良かった。 総じて満足。また泊まりたいお宿。お世話になりました。
• YOSHIKI (10/5): 最高の温泉にレトロな宿 - まず温泉は最高。旅館もレトロ感がありながら清潔感もあり、とても快適でした。
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 幾年前曾入住過，這次入住覺得榻榻米太硬，一直掉屑。房間很老舊，但清潔度維持的可以。早餐是簡餐輕食，我們是蛋奶素，可以吃土鍋布丁、生菜沙拉、梅飯團，餐廳工作人員很棒。溫泉很不錯，翻修過，酸度很高，有傷口要小心，不宜久泡。
• YUK PUI (8/5): - 旅館屬於老派，設備比較老舊。附近大部份的商店及食店也沒開(不知是否淡季影響)，建議訂房時包早及晚餐比較好。
• Kenneth (7/5): A quiet place in a small town with nice hot spring baths. - Across the street from a nice park and public foot bath. The town is small, so walking distance to everything. Multiple restaurants within five minutes walk. Parking in adjacent lot. Friendly front desk staff. Free sake tasting at lobby bar in the evening. The place seemed dark. Dimly lit hallways and bathroom. No lights at all at the front door (no sign, no lights).
• Amir (9/5): Excellent hotel in kawayu onsen - The staff were superbly helpful, and the room was clean and spacious, the onsen was great. Not having dinner at the hotel
• Yoshiaki (10/5): - 温泉がとても良かった。 また宿泊したいと思います。
• Kiyoka (10/5): - フロントの方もスタッフの方も、とても優しく良くして下さり、良い旅行となりました！ 温泉もとても良かったです！
• Chao-hsu (10/5): - 相當傳統的日式溫泉旅館，服務人員年紀資深但是態度很親切， 早晚餐供應日式懷石料理、溫泉設施品質很好，是一所物美價合理的旅館。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 食事がいまいちかな？　温泉宿の食事を期待してたのですが、値段相応の物とは思えませんでした。　北海道らしさもなく、温泉宿感もなく。　この点で次回は他で泊まると思います。
• Cheryl (6/5): - The whole hotel is very dated. It seems like all they did was to renovate the lobby, so it looks new modern shiny, whereas the rooms are left in the 80s/90s era. We had one of the big rooms, with tatami and also a supposed double bed. The bed was not comfortable at all, and way too small for 2 persons. We ended up sleeping on the futons in the tatami section of the room on the second night. Staff wasn't rude, but not friendly like we will expect of the typical Japanese hospitality. The onsen is huge, but really badly maintained. It's a pity, as there is so much potential at this onsen. One thing to note though - many of the hotels/inns in Teshikaga seems to be pretty old and run-down too. So this might just be one of the better ones already.
• SHIANN-SHENG (10/5): 泡湯非常棒 - 這裡的溫泉池有很幾種選擇，泡湯非常舒服
• Sukjin (8/5): 그럭저럭 무난합니다 - 금연실에서도 담배 냄새가 배어 있었습니다. 전통 일본식 료칸이라 어쩔 수 없나 보네요. 온천욕탕은 아주 좋습니다. 주위의 관광지도 1시간 이내 거리라 편리합니다. 오래된 시설임을 감안하면 가격 대비 괜찮은 숙소입니다.
• MEI CHAU (8/5): Value for money - 溫泉很好，值得享用，酒店清潔，地方較迫
• anton (6/5): Rustic hotel with great baths - We could only get a Japanese style room but with two 80+ yr olds getting up and down off the floor was difficult...hence low comfort score. Room was nicely done but small for 3 with suitcases. Onsen felt very authentic with the smell of sulphur in the air and hot steamy pools
• luxingren (6/5): Good location for exploring Akan National Park - This hotel, which is actually located in Kawayu Onsen rather than Teshikaga, seemed to be the only place open in mid-April - the other hotels were closed. Staff were friendly. We had a wayou double, which is a room with a small double bed connected to a slightly raised area containing tatami mats, low coffee table, chairs and TV (Japanese channels only). Wifi wasn't available in the room, but it is in the downstairs lobby area. The room had poor soundproofing - hallway conversations and sounds next door were easily heard. The room itself was terribly dated and worn out - everything should be junked and furnished again. It seemed OK from a cleanliness standpoint. The all Japanese buffet had quite a few choices, but the quality of the food wasn't very good. The onsen baths using geo-thermal hot springs water were good. There were a couple of different baths, and although I don't read Japanese, my take on the difference between them, besides a slight temperature variation, was that the PH levels and mineral content differed. Parking was free, and next to the hotel. For a single night, this hotel was OK. But it isn't a hotel I'd want to return to or recommend to others.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Sulfur smell and thin walls - The hotel was pretty run down and our room had a sulfur smell throughout the night because the windows are not fully sealed. Luckily we were only there for 1 night.
• Jeff (8/5): 溫泉很棒 - 設施有些舊，但整體感覺不錯，而且晚餐和早餐都佳，可以考慮一宿。設施有些舊，但整體感覺不錯，而且晚餐和早餐都佳，可以考慮一宿。
• Verified traveler (10/5): 溫泉很多池選擇，很不錯。 - 飯店英文溝通有限，我們不吸煙，蛋奶素，所以未訂餐。飯店只有吸煙房的選項，但可開窗，味道可接受。和洋房2人住算很大間。提供免費停車位。有自助洗衣，洗衣、烘乾分開付費，洗劑自動投入，不用額外購買，也沒有洗衣精的化學味，很方便。泡湯有2層樓分5池，很棒很乾淨。工作人員態度很好，大多是本地人去住宿，沒有團客，算安靜，開車去摩周湖、區斜路湖很近，房價很不錯，推薦。要在大廳使用網路，附近就有森林公園和免費泡腳池，環境很好。
• Verified traveler (10/5): 推薦 - 離摩周及屈斜路湖近，泡完露天風呂再回來也很方便。飯店人員很好，英文溝通普通。房間大，只有吸煙房選項，可開窗，煙味可接受，免費停車位。泡湯有5池2層樓很棒也乾淨。沒有遇到團客，大多是當地人住，房間算大，價格不貴，推薦。網路在大廳使用。自助洗衣可。
• TAE YONG (10/5): 조용한 온천마을의 숙소 - 아칸호에 있는 호텔을 예약하였으나 여행목적에 너무 과분한 호텔이라 취소하고 가격을 타협하여 킨키유 호텔로 옮겼습니다. 생각보다 마을이 한적해서 다소 적막한 느낌이 들 수 있지만 관광객이 많지 않은 한적한 온천마을을 원하던 저희들로써는 이또한 장점이였습니다.(저희가 여행한 날짜 기준입니다.) 렌터카로 이오산, 굿샤로호, 마슈호를 둘러본다는 일정을 계획하고 있으면 아주 좋은 위치의 호텔이며, 또한 온천은 산성천으로써 독특한 온천 체험을 할 수 있어서 8박9일간의 일정중에 인상깊었던 숙소중에 하나였습니다. 다소 부족했던 점을 꼽자면 조식이 살짝 아쉬웠다고 할 수 있겠네요.
• Matthias (8/5): - Hotel with clean and big room. Hotel staff was very welcoming. Nice large hot spring in the hotel. Cheap and decent breakfast buffet. The village around the hotel looks very abandoned, though there are a few nice souvenir shops and restaurants around.
• Tetsuya (10/5): 泉質が最高 - 番頭さんが到着をでむかえてくれて、駐車スペースを指示してくれて、荷物をへやまで運んでくれる。温泉宿として古く浴場も歴史を感じさせる。泉質は強酸性で飲むとレモンより酸っぱい。中々ない温泉で湯治は頷ける。癒される。朝食も食べきれないほどのビュッフェで満足感高い。古さを感じさせるひなびた感じの食堂もノスタルジックでよい。
• Verified traveler (8/5): A comfortable stay for adventures around the lakes - After driving through long distance in pitch darkness, the reception at the hotel was truly heartwarming. We were met by one Mr Chiba, who has been extremely helpful throughout our stay. He helped us plan our adventures to the neighboring lakes and mountains.
• Masayuki (10/5): - 古き良き旅館です。温泉が素晴らしくまた宿泊したいと思います。
• 一般の関西人 (8/5): 湯治客になってみませんか? - 幹線道路から森を抜けると、硫黄の匂いと共に川湯温泉が現れます。中心に位置するのが、このホテルなので 初めてでもすぐ解ります。(郵便局の向かい側) 温泉も広く、高・中・低温の各浴槽が迎えてくれます。(高温の入るには勇気が必要) 露天風呂は有りませんが、源泉かけ流し・体に効く温泉と実感します。 ホテルスタッフの対応・食事・価格も申し分ありません。
