The room space you get is unheard of anywhere in Japan. Staff are also reasonably accommodating of requests and parking is free to utilize as a guest, especially if you're spending the day hiking before checking in.

Staff doesn't really speak English, you'd best be prepared to resort to translation apps in a pinch. If you're coming here for the clear night skies, be prepared to travel to a dark corner; street lights are a little too bright for that.

The hotel's location is very close to the ropeway. The public onsen has temperature varied pools and a sauna. There was a library space, laundry facility and a small convenience store that sells snacks, drinks, souvenirs. Prior to arriving, I communicated with the staff by messaging them and they were responsive and helpful.

There is a public bus that you can take from Asahikawa station, but with a very limited schedule. The last one leaves from the station at 2pm. The hotel helped me to pre-arrange a taxi from the station. The dinner is pretty much the same across the two nights I was staying. It's buffet style with a main course served to the table. For the buffet, I wish they could have labeled it better. I don't eat meat and alcohol, but I didn't know whether there was meat in the dishes or alcohol unless I could clearly see them and it was hard to communicate with the staff who couldn't converse in English.

My whole family loved this Japanese onsen hotel! It is not as traditional as a Japanese ryokan, but the accommodations were superb. The four of us (four adults) stayed in a Maisonette room, which was huge with two levels. Very comfortable beds, very quiet, and comfortable seating area in the middle. The bathroom was spacious as well, and included a huge bathtub for those who don't want to use the hotel onsen. Everything looked new and was extremely clean, and the decor was tasteful and soothing. They provide high-quality pajamas, bathing robes, teas, etc. The hotel onsen was very large and modern, very clean, and uncrowded. I would have liked the water to be a little hotter, though. We had our meals included in our rate, and enjoyed the variety and quality of food available in the buffet restaurant. And the location at the base of the Asahidake Ropeway was very convenient -- an easy five minute walk to the Ropeway. And believe me, when you spend the day climbing Mt. Asahidake (which is a pretty challenging but awesome climb), you will be grateful that you are so close to your hotel, where you can soothe your aching muscles in the onsen! The staff at the hotel was excellent and friendly, too. We would love to come back for a longer visit next time!

We pretty much liked everything! Just be forewarned that there isn't much around in the area - just a few other small hostels/inns. And coming by car is a must.

Excellent and helpful staff and the location is perfect for hiking and going up the ropeway. The meals were varied and abundant. I loved hanging out in the comfortable library when it was too hot to be outside. Easy to arrive on a bus from Asahikawa airport if you can arrive before 4pm. Otherwise you have to hire an expensive taxi like I did. But the hotel was very helpful in arranging a taxi for me.

Sadly one of the reasons I booked here was because of the onsen but it was a BIG disappointment. They wouldn't allow you to be outside (because they said hikers could see you (as if I care!!) and it was way too lit up to enjoy it.

Room was spacious, clean and liked the variation of pillows offered and amenities including onsen. Allocated second floor where view was hindered by grills. Great sleep. Great location .. walking distance to the Asahidake ropeway.

Food at restaurant could have been better. Hotel advertisement highlighted the set meal with steak for dinner which was included in the room package. Sorry to say the steak was most underwhelming as it was very miniature. I am comparing it with another onsen hotel in Hokkaido which cost less per night.

Breakfast is average. But, tamagoyaki (Japanese omelette) and scramble egg are fantastic. Beef, main course dinner is great. Quiet and private atmosphere. Room is in great condition and comfortable.

Hotel bar and cafe are close during our stay, it might be open during ski season. If the hotel could provide gym facility would be nice.

The room was huge for us .I love the electric towel hanger. No outdoor onsen but cold one after sauna outdoor. It has both steamer and sauna. Buffet was nice with tender beef or hotate serve to each person. There is one waiter who is thai that treated us very well. Close to ropeway , easy to access after hiking. We love moutain air.

No fruits at dinner time.

Big rooms! Very close to the ropeway station. The beds are nice and comfy too and there’s a big TV and comfy coach to relax on in the evening. The public bath in the hotel is nice too.

There’s no air conditioning so it’s strangely hot in this hotel (in June). For some reason, the heaters in the hallways were actually blasting full heat! The only way to cool down is to keep the windows in the room open at all times. You can also ask for an electric fan. The half-board was okay too, but there’s very little variety in the food given.

The breakfast and dinner buffet was delicious. The hotel provides facial wash, facial lotion sachets and face masks in addition to the usual amenities so we didn't need to use our own amenities when staying here. Love the spacious room which has a living room area and 2 large wardrobes.

Although the hotel provides free use of their washing machines, they did not have any dryers in their laundry room.

The room was big and comfortable with a lounge area. There was lots of light from the windows and a view onto the forest beyond the road. I felt very comfortable in the hotel and in the restaurant, where there were plenty of foods I wanted to eat.There were convenient laundry facilities and lots of hangers in the room cupboard. The library was a nice place to hang out and look at the picture books. The people working there seemed happy.

Nothing- I really enjoyed visiting Daisetsuzan
