Hotels near Tawaramappu Shrine, Biei

This time I went to Hokkaido and stayed at Slow B&B for four days and three nights. My husband and I stayed at Taiwan Slow B&B in Taiwan a few years ago and loved the peaceful life. This time I drove slowly to Hokkaido and I liked it very much. I was overjoyed👍🏼👍🏼 We stayed in a double bed suite with its own toilet and bathroom, which was convenient and sufficient, and the hot water supply was very good. The room is very beautiful and comfortable. The surprise is that it provides Hokkaido coffee beans, so you can make your own coffee! The two music CDs provided in the room are also very good and have enough privacy. The room has floor heating and a heater. Sometimes I even feel a little too warm. Well~ The accommodation fee includes breakfast. The food is simple, rich and delicious, and the portions are not big at all! We booked dinner at the B&B for two days, and I have to say it was a surprise! Generally, I think B&Bs provide more family-style meals, but these two days There are appetizers, staple dishes, main dishes, and desserts. It’s exactly like eating in a Western restaurant~ The quality is very good👍🏼👍🏼 They are all delicious and very cost-effective. The same meal in Hong Kong would probably cost twice as much! Great chat You know, it turns out that the B&B has its own pastry chef. No wonder the desserts are of very high quality. You can eat local Hokkaido ingredients here, including Biei pork and Sakurahime chicken, as well as scallops and a variety of fresh vegetables. I personally like scallop risotto and spaghetti with meat sauce! The same goes for Sakurahime chicken~ I already want to eat it again when I think about it. . The staff at the B&B are very kind and friendly, providing immediate assistance when needed and properly reserving space for guests. We all feel very good about it. Next time we have the opportunity, we will continue to enjoy the tranquility and slow leisure time in Hokkaido!

It was behind BIE station and it was close and nice !! The room was comfortable and the bed sheets and toilets were clean :) The most important thing is that the atmosphere is also very good. Even when I wake up in the morning, it's very quiet and good!! I want to come again~*^*

I normally don’t do places with shared bathrooms by this was the most conveniently located accommodation near the train station. For the price, I was pleasantly surprised by how new it was and that breakfast was offered. I really enjoyed my stay and the English speaking staff. It is simple and the rooms are tight but it is worth it if you’re just trying to see the fields or the famous aoi ike/ blue pond. There is a bus nearby that will go by the pond and other sites. However the schedule is aggressive (only 15 minutes at the pond before the next bus leaves) so I suggest taking a taxi. They charge 7000 yen for 1.5 hours or 9500 for 2 hours since it takes a while to get there and back. Most taxis in town have this course that you can choose from.

A homestay run by the two couples is clean and tidy. The room has a bathroom, but the bath has to go to the first floor. The Western breakfast is good. It is about 3 kilometers away from Meiyi Station. After arriving at Meiyi Station, call the landlord and the landlord will come to pick it up; it will be delivered to the station when you leave. Very good experience, recommended.

We wanted to hike to Mt. Asahidake during the Koyo (Fall foliage) season, and among the properties at the base of the mountain, La Vista Daisetsuzan appeared to be the highest end accommodation in the area. Both the outside and inside of the lodge are charming and rustic in appearance, but are definitely showing clear signs of age and wear. In fact, while taking a dip in the communal Onsen (natural hot springs) bath, I overheard two men remarking how the place was ”boro boro” (Japanese for ”really worn down.”) Thankfully, we were relieved to find that La Vista Daisetsuzan was at least quite clean, and did not exhibit the old, moldy smell that is commonplace in older properties. And the dining room seems to have been renovated - we enjoyed our dinner here (more on that in a moment.) We stayed in their ”Luxury Room,” the highest category unit that was a relatively spacious 56m² open-plan Junior Suite. Other rooms on premises are quite a bit smaller, but people used to staying in standard rooms at Marriott-class properties will be more than satisfied with these room types. La Vista Daisetsuzan has a communal, gender-segregated Onsen on site - there is both an indoor and open-air outdoor bath, which is appreciated, especially in the Winter months, given that you'll want to warm up in the indoor bath before jumping into the outdoor one. While we did not have breakfast at the property (we wanted to get an early start on our hike, and we're glad that we did - the sky is more clear and there are less crowds), we had the French-Japanese dinner. To say that the meal exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. We're in Hokkaido, and an hour from the nearest city (Asahikawa), yet every dish was creative, beautifully presented and a feast for the eyes and palate. Everything - from the tuna tartare to the mini quiche to the Foie Gras to the al dente pasta with mushrooms and broccoli - was a highlight. The only serving that did not hit the spot was the main (ocean-) fish dish. The fish was hard and dry - when you're in the center of Hokkaido, perhaps they should focus on other ingredients, or at least serve fish that are fine frozen (like Tuna) or that come from the nearby rivers or lakes. Overall, if we were to make a return trip to the area, we would be more than fine with staying again at La Vista Daisetsuzan. In no way is this a destination unto itself, but if our short but pleasant stay is any indication, it's a very solid higher-end option in Daisetsuzan. It definitely blows away the vast majority of lodges in U.S. National Parks, that's for sure!

Spacious room, children went on the tatami sleeping on the futon. Lots of storage space too and plenty of amenities. Free coffee in lobby was nice and fresh from beans. We rang reception at 130am as next room guests were too loud and they resolved it. Close to JR train and bus station. Happy to recommend. Hotel tried their best to help make our stay comfortable.

Best amenities. Though the room is not big, I love how they cleverly make good use of every part of the room for functionality. Every space is not wasted and the TV shows the laundry usage situation so you don’t have to queue indefinitely at the laundry area for your turn. One thing to improve on could be having some hanging poles in the toilet so that we can hang our clothes to dry after washing. The dryer at the laundry area doesn’t dry the clothes completely. So we need to extend the dry mode a few more times hence many are hogging the washing machines. Still highly recommended.

Staying at JR Inn Asahikawa was an absolute delight. This charming four-star hotel, conveniently located right next to the train station, offers not just comfort and convenience but also a unique touch of humor that makes for an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s warm welcome and playful demeanor set the tone for our stay. The front desk team was efficient and knowledgeable, but what truly stood out was their knack for humor. One staff member joked about the weather being “specially ordered” for our arrival, a light-hearted touch that immediately put us at ease. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and well-appointed with modern amenities. The view of the bustling train station was surprisingly tranquil, offering a unique blend of urban energy and serene comfort. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep after a day of exploring. Overall, JR Inn Asahikawa perfectly blends convenience, comfort, and a delightful sense of humor. The proximity to the train station makes it an ideal choice for travelers, and the wonderful staff ensures that your stay is memorable for all the right reasons. If you’re looking for a hotel that offers both excellent service and a

I’m very surprised by the relatively low rating of this hotel. We had a very good experience here, and found the room to be spacious and comfortable (though fairly typical old-school Japanese hotel). Service was good overall and the breakfast was delicious. The hotel is located in the best part of Asahikawa, near the main train station and the very cool and fun shopping street. The hotel also has an outdoor parking lot located immediately behind the hotel. Our only hiccup was that we arrived slightly before the 1500 check in time (we arrived at 1440) and were told we had to wait until exactly 1500 to check in. This is Japan and I appreciate being a stickler for the rules, but sometimes good customer service is about making calculated exceptions. Maybe next time. We would certainly recommend this place to others.
