Best Usu District Hotels

"This is a somewhat older, traditional Japanese-style hotel. The lobby boasts grand and beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning lake views. The lower level offers a wide range of entertainment facilities and good drinks. However, the rooms and facilities are a bit dated. The majority of guests are Japanese families. The restaurant provides excellent lake views. Breakfast and dinner were decent but nothing to write home about. Given the limited dining options around Lake Toya, eating at the hotel is the most hassle-free choice."

"For just one night, I chose the most affordable hotel in Lake Toya. I wasn't expecting much, but the room was clean. The receptionist spoke good English and was very polite. The public baths were also okay."

"I highly recommend this hotel! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the place is clean, and the owners are truly kind-hearted ❤️❤️. On my arrival yesterday morning, I stored my luggage there first. When I asked about the bus to the hot spring street, since it would take too long, the owner kindly drove me there himself. This morning, in my rush to catch the bus to the next city, I didn’t even realize I’d forgotten my iPad. The owner actually chased down the bus and returned it to me. I’m just so grateful!!! このホテルは本当におすすめです！雰囲気はとても温かく、清潔で、オーナーは本当に親切です❤️❤️。昨日の朝、到着後に荷物を預け、その後温泉街行きのバスについて尋ねたところ、バスの到着が遅れるとのことでした。すると、オーナーがわざわざ車で温泉街まで送ってくださいました。今朝、次の都市に向かうため急いでバスに乗った際、iPadを忘れてしまったことに気づかなかったのですが、オーナーがバスを追いかけて、わざわざ届けてくれました。本当に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです！！"

"I reckon that service quality is average with Japan standards. Most of staff do not speak English, but there is no issue to communicate with translator. Room amenities are average too, actually much lower than my expectation. I stayed in a good Onsen hotel in Hakone many years ago with my last visit in Japan, food and room are much much better. The skin product in this place I really doubt that it is only Muji stuff. Maybe the price was not that good when I booked in. I have to say it is overpriced for me.Dinner and brekkie are okay, location is fine cuz I drove myself."

"This is the most satisfying house I have ever lived in Japan. No matter the size, facilities and environment are first class, there is a feeling of being in New Zealand. Environment: About 2 kilometers from Toya Lake Commercial Street, a little distance walk, very quiet, surrounded by scattered residential rooms. It was a little scared outside the house in the middle of the night. Service: Wanshi Pavilion takes the key, check out and put the key directly in the villa, check out at 10 o'clock is more troublesome Facilities: The information shows that it has been open for 23 years, but the facilities inside are obviously not new. Some years, but the maintenance is very good. The things used are very advanced. The sink in the kitchen is particularly good. Microwave oven, oven, tea set tableware induction cooker have everything, especially the whole hot spring, dressing room, There are showers, it feels like a holiday house designed by rich people for themselves, and later sold to Wanshige. Location: There is a convenience store 5 minutes walk. But if you are not driving, it is not recommended."

"👍🏽Pros: - Free shuttle bus to and for Sapporo station - A variety of complimentary tea bags in the lobby - Public bath is awesome! There are 7 kinds of baths. My favorite one is the open bath, where I bathed when it was snowing. What a extraordinary experience. - Dinner and breakfast are buffet style. Many options and food is yum. - Some reviews mentioned that the facilities/room seemed old, but I found the vintage Japanese-Style room comfortable and great. I really enjoyed the stay! - There are 2 massage chairs next to public bath. 👎🏽Cons: - Not many staffs speak English so it's a bit difficult to communicate. It took a while for the front desk staff to find our bookings. - Private bath is not worth it. It's a waste of money. - Needs to put up signs about the etiquette of using public bath. When I took a shower in the public bath, the Korean group all showered while standing and kept splashing. They chatted loudly and shouted at each other. One of them even kicked water in the bath......"

"客室はクーラーがなく、夏は寝苦しさを感じるかもしれません。水シャワーを浴びてから寝ました！オーナーの人柄や朝食のおにぎりと味噌汁はシンプルですがとても美味しくあたたかい気持ちになります。近くに無料で入れる温泉もあり、大満足でした。また利用したいと思える施設でした！"

"You are here because of the Onsen. Onsen was exceptional especially the outdoor ones. Food buffet was well cooked and Japanese style. We love the stay experience. However, the room has strong cigarette smell and insects from outdoor. Other than that, all was forgiven. The staff needed to learn more English and be more available to help."

"Let’s talk about the advantages first: It’s a very cute family hotel with very new equipment. The children’s buffet bar is very cute. There are many types of restaurants, but almost all of them are fried foods that children like. There is a children’s playroom in the restaurant. Children love ice cream and wagyu, which is delicious. It’s outdoor The swimming pool water is very clean and connected to the large hot spring pool, so you won't catch a cold. Disadvantages: The communication between the hotel staff is not very good. You have to check in by yourself. Moreover, I booked a room for three people, but they only gave us a double room and did not make extra beds. We had to communicate with the hotel staff for a long time to help us deal with it. I booked a room for two adults and one child and then charged me an entrance fee for young children. It was very inconvenient to book a room for two adults and one child and then charge it later. Part of the floor of the outdoor swimming pool is abraded and is quite painful. Children may be injured if they accidentally scratch it, so be careful. The buffet in the restaurant almost contains food that children love to eat. There are many types but nothing special, but it is easy to take pictures."
