Kokusai Ski Resort

Collected from Hirafu Welcome centre to be driven to property, host answered all of my questions about local dining options as well as off-piste mountain areas

I stayed at JAL City Sapporo Nakajima Park for one night and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is just a short walk from Nakajima Koen Station, making it very convenient, yet the area is quiet and peaceful at night. The staff were polite and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere from check-in to check-out. The room amenities were decent, especially the complete skincare set which included cleansing oil, face wash, toner, and moisturizer. The public bath was clean and well-maintained, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The breakfast buffet had just the right variety—not overwhelming, but enough to feel satisfying. On the day I stayed, they offered a mild-flavored venison (Ezo deer) curry and a ramen tasting corner featuring different styles from around Hokkaido, which made for a unique and enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely choose this hotel again when visiting Sapporo.
