Daimaru Sapporo

Excellent facilities, kaiseki and even better staff and their hospitality!

This was a beautifully situated apartment stay with a gorgeous view, and had access within minutes of a green belt along the river on one side, with a children’s playground, and, on the other side, a small rabbit shrine and park. There were restaurants and cafes in walking distance (15 minutes), and the subway entrance is 5 minutes away, just a couple of stops from the well-loved shopping district of Susukino. I can wholeheartedly recommend it. My two small complaints are (1) I wish the key pick-up was at the same building as the apartment stay, and (2) with everything else being so fantastic, I wish the beds were more comfortable. It seems like an easy enough thing to improve, and it would do a great deal to make the stay feel cozy to travelers who are tired and sore from a long day of sightseeing. Again, those are small complaints only for an otherwise spectacular stay!
