It is located near the Ainu village. There is only one main street selling souvenirs and a watson store. There is a path around lake Akan that you can stroll on. That is about 20 minutes walk from the hotel. The onsen on the eight floor was beautiful overlooking the lake akan, but i did not get to use it. They have funky system, odd days women use eight floor. The men use the basement onsen. On even day it’s reversed. The onsen on the basement is still good. The dinner and breakfast buffet are excellent.

We really enjoyed our stay at Akan Yuku no Sato Tsuruga. The buffet dinner is a good option if you have picky eaters in your group. It’s a good location and the staff are all lovely. We got a room with a private onsen which was a wonderful addition. Would highly recommend and hope to be back soon.

It’s a bit of an unusual place. It is marketed as having a connection to the Ainu community. Perhaps in a similar way how casinos on Native American reservations are marketed. The place is sort of in the middle of nowhere. But it seems very popular domestically with large crowds present. The dining is buffet style and it can get pretty crowded. The food quality is pretty good though with a wide range of food including Japanese, Chinese, and Western. The onsen is split between the basement level and eight floor between men and women on alternating days. I only went to the basement level onsen (it also seems like guests at this hotel also has access to the onsen in the next door Wings hotel, which I didn’t go to either). The basement level onsen had sort of a dark cave theme, which differed from the two other onsens I’ve been to on this trip. I’m guessing the hotel was built in the 70s. My room was a bit dated. The bathroom had a bit of an old urine smell. The room had just about everything sort of like how the long term stay hotels in the US are like (refrigerator, dishware, etc), which I don’t find necessary. Overall I find it kind of had a Vegas vibe

Authentic Japanese onsen resort. Reserved Japanese Western Room with Premium Kaiseki Dinner. Room with lake view included 2 rooms, one for sitting and other for sleeping. Included private bathroom which was clean and modern. Given Japanese robe and lounge ware to wear to onsen. This was a huge and spectacular onsen covering 2 floors with indoor and outdoor baths. Enjoyed large breakfast buffet and gourmet private dining experience. Very elaborate and meticulous and delicious. The best Kaiseki dinner we had over the course is our one month travel in Japan. Also close to walking trails around the lake. Located within walking distance to everything. Would definitely stay here again.

Really nice spa and buffet! This is a large hotel that pays attention to detail. The staff are excellent and friendly, multiple languages spoken wit hi in the hotel staff. The spa is very impressive, and worth the price of the hotel. Buffet food is excellent in taste and quality, very hard to do on such a large scale, but Tsuruga at Akan does it splendidly. I had a very wonderful experience from check in to check out.

Amazing view of Lake Akan, very wide option types of onsen, big room with attentive details and reasonable quality of meals. Lake view rooms are quite pricey though. Dun forget to check out the optional paid tours, the early morning coffee tour offers excellent view of sunrise on the frozen lake!

This place feels fancy
When you arrive you are greeted at the entrance by many staff members. They take your bags and valet your car so be ready for service. I wished we showed up better dressed. We were upgraded to the rewa wing where we enjoyed a foot bath of onsen water. It smells sulfuric but feels nice. The rooms were clean spacious and decorative. The town is all about ainu culture. Many of the vendors overlap in the items for sale but their prices were also competitive toward each other. You will also see some of the wood carvings for sale in other parts of hokkaido but here you can get them engraved. Check out the ainu theater. Also there was a ainu light show which we wished we booked. We ate at the hotels main buffet which was superb and offered foods from Japan, China, and west. There was seriously too many things to try so take your pick and eat your fill.
