Scenic Hotels in Kushiro City

"The room size is just right, not too big, not too small. It has a sea view with twin beds. You can take the airport shuttle directly to the hotel. There are restaurants and a seafood market within a few hundred meters, making it convenient for getting around. The breakfast is a buffet, and it also offers a great sea view."

"I had an enjoyable stay at Akan Yuku no Sato Tsuruga. The hotel offers a relaxing atmosphere and is a wonderful place to experience the beauty of Lake Akan. The service was excellent throughout my stay. The staff were warm, attentive, and professional, always greeting guests with a smile and making every interaction pleasant. Their hospitality really enhanced the overall experience. The onsen facilities were one of the highlights of the hotel. They are spacious, beautifully designed, and have a luxurious feel, offering a great variety of indoor and outdoor baths. The only minor drawback was that the top-floor outdoor bath did not appear to be as clean as the other baths. Overall, the onsen experience was still great. The room was a little on the compact side, but it was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Overall, I had a great stay and Akan Yuku no Sato Tsuruga is a great choice in Lake Akan."

"Facilities: The rooftop onsen area has three pools with brand-new facilities. It's very relaxing to soak in them, and after a bath, you can use the massage chairs or read manga. In the mornings, you can enjoy unlimited Yakult, and in the evenings, there are four kinds of ice cream available for free. Cleanliness: The room was spotless. The mini-fridge had three complimentary bottles of mineral water, three apples, and pudding. The room was cleaned very thoroughly. Ambiance: The hotel feels completely new. Coming here after checking out of the Prince Hotel felt like traveling from the millennium to the new century, haha. Service: Every evening at 9:30 PM, the hotel offers free all-you-can-eat ramen. It has the local specialty soy sauce broth, and honestly, it tastes almost identical to the famous Uoichi ramen we paid for. Self-check-in and check-out are very convenient. The hotel breakfast also includes Kushiro Robatayaki and self-made leftover rice, so you don't need to spend money eating out. It's excellent value for money. Location: The location is also fantastic, directly opposite the MOO shopping mall, just a five-minute walk. It's very convenient for taking the 'White Bus' and the airport shuttle."

"The staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming throughout our stay. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, with a wide variety of delicious options—it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! The accommodation was spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The hotel is conveniently located near a shopping mall and plenty of eateries, making it easy to find food and do some shopping. Although parking is available for a fee, it was convenient and easy to access. Overall, I absolutely loved this hotel and would happily stay here again on my next visit!"

"Traveling solo in Kushiro as a Chinese national, I imagine there aren't many of us, but the front desk staff were absolutely wonderful. The breakfast selection was a bit limited. The location is super convenient, right next to the station, and just across the road from the bus stop, which is great for catching the White Bus. There aren't many convenience stores nearby, especially at night when it's quite dark and deserted. On the bright side, the hotel offers complimentary *ochazuke* in the evenings."

"Stayed at The Forest Akan Tsuruga Resort for three nights during our visit to Lake Akan. The location is excellent, within easy walking distance of the lakeside, Ainu Kotan, visitor centre, restaurants, Kamuy Lumina, and many of the area's attractions. It made exploring Lake Akan very convenient without needing transportation. The hotel itself has a warm, cozy atmosphere that blends nicely with the surrounding nature. Breakfast was especially enjoyable, with local favourites such as sweet shrimp sashimi and natto. While our initial room was not quite ideal for our personal preferences, the staff were helpful in assisting us with a room change, and we ended up in a room that suited us much better. Their assistance was greatly appreciated. One small observation is that during our three-night stay, the buffet menu remained largely the same each day. While the food was good, we found ourselves becoming a little repetitive by the second and third day. Guests staying for a longer period may appreciate a bit more variation in the menu. The hotel also offers a public bath, although we did not use it during our stay, so I am unable to provide any comments or review on that facility. One thing worth noting is that the hot spring bathing tax is still charged as part of the stay, regardless of whether guests choose to use the public bath facilities. Another plus is the coin-operated laundry facilities, which are very useful for travellers staying several days or moving between destinations. What I enjoyed most was using the hotel as a base to experience Lake Akan. During our stay we explored the forests, visited Ainu Kotan, walked the Kamuy Lumina trail, took the sightseeing cruise, visited the Marimo Exhibition and Observation Center, spotted deer and foxes, and enjoyed beautiful lake views. On our final evening, the weather was perfect. We watched the sunset over Lake Akan and later enjoyed a sky full of stars. It was a memorable way to end our stay. Overall, The Forest Akan Tsuruga Resort is a comfortable and convenient base for exploring Lake Akan and the surrounding area. Thank you for a pleasant stay."

"Thank you to the hotel staff who helped during the 8th December earthquake. It was our families first experience of an earthquake and tsunami warning, so we were very worried. We came down from level 16 to the level 3 evacuation zone once the tsunami warning was triggered, and we met your staff there who were setting up the evacuation area. A big thank you to the male staff member who put our minds at ease and used google translate to guide us and let us know it was safe to return to the room 1）地理位置优越，出门左边有便利店；离币舞桥走走也就到了，可惜当天天气不好，没有看到世界有名的落日； 2）楼下的西餐厅味道很不错👍价格也比较公道 3）洗衣机是免费的（在四楼） 4）地下停车场是1000yen(住客)，虽然不免费，但也比较公道。 5）入住当晚遭遇地震（12月8日，7.6级）虽然钏路离得比较远，但是在16楼，晃得也比较厉害。后来海啸警告也来了。我们穿好衣服，从16楼冲到3楼避难层（虽然沿着绿色指示，但是在三楼找不到出口，后来员工打开了宴会厅的门，将我们安顿下来，一家三口才比较安心！十分感谢员工们！后来有一位男士一直利用google translate跟我们沟通，也让我们安心不少。十分感激！第二天check out时，想看看他叫什么名字，写一封感谢信，但是名牌太小了，不了了之。不过，疑惑为什么其他旅客都不下来？那么淡定）"

"We were a little apprehensive before our arrival as the hotel was built in 2015. However, the hotel exceed our expectation. The staff at the porch was patient, he helped us with us luggage and pointed to the free parking. The receptionist explained the services and facilities available clearly and checked if we made plans for dinner as our room did not come with meals. She later helped us microwave our food purchased from Lawson. The hotel has 3 private bath that doesn’t require reservation. Both the male and female onsen has great view of the river. The facilities were clean and well maintained. Very calming views from the room, could sit there and enjoy tea. Recommended to spend an afternoon at the hotel to relax and rest. They provide ramen at 10.30pm too."

"The Japanese-style resort hotel boasts a lakeside ceiling and spacious rooms with private onsen (hot spring bath) and balconies. The rooftop open-air hot spring with views of Lake Akan is absolutely stunning. The dining is exquisite and delicious, using high-quality ingredients, reflecting the chef's dedication. Each room has its own private dining area with personalized service, making it very comfortable. The daily management is excellent; the environment is quiet, and the staff are attentive to individual needs and make special arrangements. In short, it's an excellent choice for a vacation. I was fortunate enough to stay at Tsuruga, near Lake Onuma, which is also a very beautiful hotel."

"The hotel boasts an excellent location. In the evenings, there are plenty of restaurants in the vicinity. After dinner, it's a pleasant walk from the hotel to Nusamai Bridge for a stroll, and Fisherman's Wharf is just about a 10-minute walk from there. Guests can then return to the hotel to relax in the hot springs. The rooms are also very comfortable. While the breakfast spread at the hotel wasn't extensive, the quality was good. If I ever visit Kushiro again, I would definitely choose this hotel."
