We decided to stay here enroute to Noboribetsu from Otaru instead of staying at Noboribetsu itself. The beautiful resort is located in a forested area in the middle of nowhere. This is not the place to stay if you are looking to shop. But if you want a peaceful relaxing place to onsen, this is it! Expansive, clean with wonderful rotenburo (different types of water) that leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized. The room is wonderful and the bed was comfy. I would recommend packing an overnight bag if you have a big luggage. The driveway to the hotel is steep and the carpark is below the hill. There are no porters, you will have a lovely wooden cart to bring your luggage up yourself. The food is average, but the onsen is completely worth it. I would love to stay again longer! Dinner ends around 9pm, so make sure you come in the afternoon to enjoy the onsen before and after dinner. It's child friendly, during dinner time, there would be carts going round with ballons and sweets for kids.:-)
