Nice hotel very close to the Mount Akadake cable car. Location is gorgeous, in the Sounkyo gorge area. The onsens look out onto the mountains and offer a spectacular view. The hotel itself is nice - albeit a bit tired and old. Could do with some modernisation - but helpful and friendly staff and gorgeous location make up for it.

Amazing location, scenery and views! The area around the hotel is beautiful, and so many things to see within easy walking and driving distance. The on-site Onsens were also great! Parts of the property are getting old and worn, but otherwise clean and well kept. The included buffet breakfasts and dinners were an unexpected bonus!

Nice rustic onsen

Dated hotel, as are all the hotels in the area, but very well maintained. Staff were all superb and the food service was very efficient and tasty. Not Michelin starred, but neither is the cost.

The hotel aesthetic is wonderful, the rooms were spacious and clean, the food provided was wonderful and the hot springs were incredible. The location is slightly difficult to get to as a foreigner (I speak very little Japanese but can read a little bit) but once there it was an incredible experience. Easily one of the nicest locations and hotels I’ve stayed in.

The hotel is lovely! A bit dated but very well maintained. The included buffet dinner and breakfast were amazing with many choices of Japanese and Western food! Lovely rooftop onsen plus ground floor onsen. The area around the hotel is a quiet with many ships and restaurants closed but that allowed us to enjoy the hotel facilities.

The hotel is near the Hells Valley so it is accesible. The property needs refurbishment critically so guests can have a better experience. The room is clean but the mildew smell is unbearable. It is a quiet location which makes it enjoyable.

An ok hotel but showing it’s age

The hotel is quite old and could be in need of some renovation. The area itself is pretty dead during the winter. Only reason to stay here is for the ice festival if you are not driving. The staff were friendly and the included meals are a stellar deal. Could be better during the other seasons.

This place needs major updates/renovations. The main activity is the onsen. Each day the men and women onsen location swaps. One location is closed in and I believe generally the men's section. This location is filled with mold and mildew on the ceiling and around the windows. Because the section is closed off from outside air, condensate builds up on the ceiling and falls into the bath. Not so cool. The buffet was okay. There were lots of options but they were not for me.

This place is being run by slum lords. I do not recommend this place. They have capitilized on the fact that most people will only stay one night or only go to one ryokan during their japan visit, and will not have basis to compare. We just checked into another ryokan of similar expense, and there is no comparison-this place needs a refit or should close down. Everything in this hotel is the exact same as it was 50 years ago when they built it-the carpet, the paint, even the japanese hotel clothes we were issued are likely original. I

外国人スタッフが素晴らしいです。 きちんと笑顔で挨拶出来て素晴らしいですね。特に夕食&朝食の受付係の外国人スタッフが素晴らしかったです^_^ 建て付けが悪くて客室の網戸がキチンと閉まらなく虫がたくさん入ってきました、、、。 早急に対応願います。 あと部屋が暑かったです。暖房でした笑。9月までは冷房でお願いします、、、。 夕食は種類がたくさんあり特にジンギスカンが美味しかったです。 刺身の種類を増やして欲しいです。 あとソフトドリンクのグラス大きければ良いですね。何回も注ぎに行くの大変で、、、。 朝食も種類たくさんあり良かったです。 温泉は変わらず良いですね。 脱衣所が暑いです、、、。 まだまだ層雲峡温泉頑張って頂きたいです。 ありがとうございました。

層雲峡の渓谷の高い所にあり、目の前に石狩川を挟み朝陽山が望まれる、山の中の温泉ホテルで建物は新しくないが満足できた。チェツクインの時にスタッフが見当たらず 案内も無く、駐車場の場所がわからない状態だった。7Ｆの露天風呂は層雲峡の柱状摂理の岸壁が見え迫力がある。客室や設備は古いが清潔な感じだった。５人で１部屋で利用したが、ベッドＸ２名　和室Ｘ３名の部屋で家族や友人グループには便利なお部屋だった。朝食はバイキング方式で和洋折衷で色々な食材が用意されており良かった。
