Mount View Hotel was the perfect place to stay while we explored the beauty of Sounkyo Onsen and Gorge, Daitsuzan National Park, and as a stop on our drive towards the east of Hokkaido. The front staff were helpful and spoke English. The hot spring baths were wonderful and relaxing. We did not try the buffet dinner or breakfast. We used the electric kettle to prepare food in our room. The beds were comfortable. The view from the room was of the rushing river below and the sound through the windows helped lull us to sleep. The price was reasonable. I would definitely recommend staying at the Mount View Hotel!
