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.

The hotel is conveniently located just around the corner from Kotoni station, which is just very close to Sapporo station. When we arrived, my friends asked for a recommendation for a place for lumch and the front desk staff gave a really good recommendation just 3 mins away from the hotel. Also they put our luggage in our room while we had lunch. There's a 7eleven nearby and also a lot of izakayas and restaurants around so you won't run out options for late night snacks. The room is spacious, albeit a little old, but it's kept as clean as can be.
