Relaxing hot spring resort
We came here for our honeymoon and had one of the most relaxing, comfortable stays of our trip. We were blown away by how nice this was
They have a really interesting set up for their lobby lounge, with wood paneling and a flickering fireplace, it invokes the feel of a forest lodge. In the middle of the room is a beautifully done model train diorama that guests can start the trains with a push of a button. During the day, there are free drinks in the lobby and complimentary cocktails at night.
The room we stayed in was connected to another room that had our own lounge with a drop down screen and projector as well as a private onsen that was just for our use.
Our trip also included dinner and breakfast at their restaurant, which had a different set tasting menu of 8-10 small dishes every night and a breakfast in the morning. The dishes are fine dining - French inspired with a Japanese influence and are made from fresh, local ingredients from Hokkaido.
The hotel is close to Onuma-koen station and is just a couple minutes walk away. It's pretty easy to take the JR Super Hokuto to go visit Hakodate and check out the city there and come back in the evening. Literally out the back door is Lake Onuma and a great view. However, the one downside is that the town itself has nothing for a tourist to see, the nearest combini is over 1km away.
The staff is super friendly, polite, and attentive and provided excellent service on par with high end hotels in Tokyo.
