Tokachidake Onsen Hotels

"This was such a treat of a hostel, and for a great price too. Really no complaints about the hostel itself, but be sure to know what you are getting into when you book. Bathing is done via an on-site onsen that is open from 7pm to 9am. If you are used to onsens this won't be a problem, but watch out if you've never used one before as it is a different experience. There is also nearly nothing going on in the area surrounding the hostel, so be sure to bring food with you from whatever city you are...

"Ideally located near the Asahidake Ropeway. The rooms were large and very comfortable. The onset/spa was spotless and spacious. "

"Location of hotel is rather far away from city amenities."

"We appeared to be the only guests in this aged hotel which though clean, was shabby and down at heel. It was warm though, and had a pair of good pingpong tables. "

"Like the onsen."

"Old hotel but clean room. Conveniently located next to Shirahige waterfall. Half hour walk to blue pond. Hotel provides shuttle to and from Biei Station. "

"dinner time too many people. i like the hot spring. very good location."

"We just spent five weeks in Japan and are still talking about the food we ate here. It is nothing short of spectacular. We paid quadruple at other ryokans and this one had the best food, best location and the best onsens. It’s an older place with older, big onsens and for us that was the charm of it. The rooms are very clean, the beds are comfortable. The staff was incredibly kind. We went skiing one day and snowshoeing the next and ended up seeing a red fox each day. Really can’t recommend this...

"the staff is kind of rude. I understand their command of English language is limited. But the attitude can be seen through body language. "

"Sounkyo is a quaint little resort town with not much in the way of facilities, but this hotel helps make up for that. They provided dinner and breakfast so I didn't have to worry about finding a restaurant in the freezing cold. They also have a hot spring, a place to chill and play billiards, and even a movie showing every night in which I regrettably could not partake. I also stayed during Sounkyo's Ice Waterfall Festival, which was marvelous and a bit different from the other winter festivals...

"would be better if they can serve the hot breakfast instead of packing a box for take away."

"露天風呂を期待して泊まった。断崖の淵ににあり、見晴らし最高。残念ながら当日は霧が深く山は見えず。"
