Kussharo Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location with great amenities and very friendly staff. I was fortunate to be upgraded to a spectacular room, but the primary pleasure of my stay was being able to relax after a long hike in a comfortable environment, enjoy the hot spring and re energize with a delicious dinner."

Lamp No Yado Moritsubetsu

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely incredible hotel set within a stunning forest. You can watch the wildlife from the windows. We saw deer, a fox, birds including woodpeckers, butterflies and stag beetles. The onsen was great, especially the outdoor pool and the food was fantastic"

Kussharo Genya Youth Guesthouse – Hostel

8/10 Good

"We had booked a room suitable for five people for just the two of us so had plenty of space. The onsen was welcome and the meals very good"

New Akan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The rooftop mixed onsen was a big surprise, but super nice as we don't usually get to be with family members of other sex. (You do provide basic swimwear). It was so nice to look over the lake and just chill out in the onsen upstairs, but the main onsen were also incredible. Food options were plenty in the restaurant (buffet style), and it's so close to the Ainu Kotan... definitely worth a visit!!"

Hotel Gozensui

"Overall good stay. "
