Best Hotels near Kushiro Shitsugen National Park, Tsurui

It is an inn ＆ restaurant built on the hill. You can spend a leisurely time in the spectacular view of Hokkaido. The food was delicious and I was very satisfied. On the second day of the night, I enjoyed barbecuing with the staff! Except for one rental room, the shower and toilet are shared, there is no bathtub, but there are two hot springs in the center of the village, which is about 5 minutes by car. This time it was 2 nights, but next time I would like to stay longer.

Yamahana Onsen Refre is a hotel located in Yamahana, Kushiro City, Hokkaido. On June 28, 2022, I walked to Sarubo Observatory and Sarurun Observatory. From there, I drove to Yamahana Onsen Refre. However, the road that the navigation system showed me was a terrible road (sweat;) If you go a little further, you will come to a beautiful road, so I recommend that (wry smile). Nevertheless, I arrived safely. The parking lot is very spacious. The exterior looks like this. There seem to be 16 rooms. The inside of the building looks like this. First, I checked in at the front desk. On this day, I was in room 211 on the second floor. I was hoping for an ”old lady who couldn't open the door,” but an old lady who entered smoothly (lol). Unfortunately, it was a smoking room, so it smelled a bit like cigarettes. It was a 10-tatami Japanese-style room, and it was surprisingly spacious. There was a TV and a refrigerator. A water heater and a cold water pot. The view from the window looked like this. The Kushiro City Zoo is right next door, and you can see the Ferris wheel. I'm glad there's an electric fan. There's a bathtub, but I probably won't use it because I'll be going to the large public bath. The toilet has a heated seat. Razors are sold for 120 yen. I went to the hot spring right away. Yamahana Onsen is said to be the first hot spring to spring up in Kushiro. The spring water was a little yellowish. It's an alkaline sodium spring. It's said to have the same salt concentration as seawater. It's a shame that there's no wifi. I didn't have a Rakuten mobile line, so I connected with au's 1Mbps. It was 17,970 yen for two people with one night stay and two meals. It was 6:05, so I had dinner at the restaurant on the first floor. This time, we had a medicinal food menu, and the menu looked like this. I thought it was chawanmushi, but it was tofu. The tempura arrived. Akan pork in a sweet and spicy sauce. Steamed vegetables. It seems that wild vegetables are in season in Hokkaido at this time of year. I also ordered draft beer. The cold sake was ”Fukuji”. This sake is from the only sake brewery in Kushiro, and has a dry sake meter value of +5. The rice is polished to 60%. Rice and miso soup. Jerusalem artichoke tea. Pudding. The amount of * is amazing. It's very mellow and tastes like chestnut. Red kidney beans. The breakfast venue is the same as for dinner. The menu looks something like this. We drove on.

We used the Japanese style room on the lake side. The room was not new, but there was a wide cleanliness. Above all, the view of Lake Akan from the room is great!!! This alone is worth coming to Akan. The hot spring bathtub is two hot and warm types, but it was a luxurious and slick hot spring with a source hanging. Both meals and free drinks in the morning and evening buffet. The variety of dishes is also good, and fresh vegetables and sweets are delicious in the tempura of the spring mountain vegetables, etc.♡ The correspondence of the hotel 々 is also sincere, and the hand is shaken until the hotel is not seen at the time of return It was really 2 nights ３ days of great satisfaction. I would like to stay here when I come to Akan again.

The location is a bit far from the JR station. It is quite sour and cool with the children dragging the suitcase on the snowy day, but there are a lot of places to eat near the hotel. This is just fine. The room is small, the bed is ok, and the two big ones are barely enough to sleep. The highlight is the night ramen in the lobby. It is very interesting to cook the ramen for the first time. Free coffee is available in the lobby. In addition, there is a free bath salt on the shelf of the elevator entrance. Warm baby and hair clips can be taken by yourself. This is full of intimacy. Overall it is a good hotel.

Located in front of the Kushiro River, it was a convenient location with many restaurants around, 5 minutes walk from Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf Moo where the connecting bus to the airport stops. Because it was a business hotel, check-in in the evening was crowded with salaried men, but check-in in the morning was relatively smooth. There were many breakfast buffets and local ingredients, and the view from the window was wonderful. The open-air bath in the large communal bath was the best, coupled with the cold winter. The sauna was large, but I feel a little low temperature. The room was just the size of the room, and the air purifier was always available and comfortable, but I felt that the electric load on the hotel side seemed to be large because the electric control by the card key was not possible. It is located in front of the Kushiro River, a 5-minute walk from Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf Moo, where the shuttle bus to the airport stops, and there are many restaurants nearby. Since it is a business hotel, check-in in the evening was crowded with office workers, but check-in in the morning was relatively smooth. The breakfast buffet had a lot of local ingredients, and the view from the window was wonderful. The open-air bath in the large public bath was the best, combined with the coldness of winter. The sauna was large, but I felt that the temperature was a little low. The size of the room was just right, and the air purifier was always available, so it was comfortable.

Coffee tea and other drinks and bathing agents were saved. It was a pity that TV, pot and dryer were old. The air conditioner is old or the sound is big. But the staff were very kind. Thank you.

The hotel was great! The onsen was really just a public bath, but was still comfy. Free snacks on the top floor like ice cream, yakult at different timings made it even better. There was even free ramen supper on the ground floor at night. Room was comfy. Location is great, with the airport bus stop just around the corner, and other bus stops to bring us around.

We stayed on a tour of East Hokkaido. This old hotel is located beside the pleasure boat stop on the lakeside. It's the best location in the hot spring town and it doesn't take long to go to Ainu Kotan. You can see Lake Akan from the lobby, so you can expect a view from the room. The room is a Japanese-style room with a lake view, and it feels a little tired, but I didn't particularly care because it was used on a cheap tour. I had a meal at the banquet hall, but I was surprised to see a cup of big hairy crab. Other dishes were delicious. Breakfast was buffet, but this was normal. It was just the timing of winter gorgeous, so I was able to see fireworks launched from the lake. The theater Ikoro in Ainu Kotan was also close.

I stayed to travel to Kushiro for two days and one night from my stay in Sapporo. When I left the station and looked to the left side, there was a large display at the top of the hotel, and I immediately knew the location. The hotel was clean and the room had everything I needed. He lent me a bicycle at the hotel, so I was able to easily go to Starbucks, the easternmost part of Japan, a few kilometers away. In addition, the hotel staff was very friendly and taught me the recommended izakaya in Kushiro. The sun manma I ate at the izakaya was delicious. The free breakfast was delicious and I wanted to use this hotel when I stayed in Kushiro.
