Be sure to make a reservation for pick-up, otherwise it will be very remote. You can ask Ctrip to help you make an appointment. No one in the hotel can speak English. The bus departs from the hotel at 3 pm and checks out at 10 o'clock.
The hotel is a bit old, but the neighborhood is really beautiful. The dinner was rich and delicious, and the service was very good. The hot springs are also very nice.
The disadvantage is that communication is really a big problem. The person at the front desk keeps telling me that check-out is at 12 o'clock and the bus goes back to Sapporo. I keep asking, isn't it ten o'clock? He also kept saying "twelve". Since we couldn't distinguish between ten and twelve in English, we missed our scheduled bus and sat at the bus station for an hour.
Overall, it is still worth coming to Jozankei.
