Hotel manager treated us as special quests made us feel like kings providing us with special treats each day from the kitchen. Korean delights to die for. Strong recommendation to stay. Ski resorts close by.

Delicious food, superb spa

Let me clarify that we did not stay in the hotel but made a day trip from Sapporo for the consent experience.

This hotel is about 75 minutes from Sapporo station by Bus #7 but as it snowed heavily over the weekend, the journey took around 90 minutes.

The hotel is a hit dated but service is pretty good. We presented our onsen voucher and the process was pretty straightforward. Rented a large and small towel for 300 Yen but it appears that you can bring your own.

They have two separate bath houses - a large and a medium one. Men and women rotate between the two. Key difference is that the large has 8 indoor and 1 outdoor onsen, whereas the medium only has 3 indoor and 1 outdoor onsen.

On the whole, it was a good experience.

Good onsen experience

Decided to try a day trip from Sapporo to Jozenkai on the Jotetsu bus + onsen package (Y1800 per adult) for a return bus ticket and access to an Onsen on more than a dozen hotels in Jozenkai... its good value as the bus fare is Y1500 normally and the Onsen charges between Y700-1500 for entry. Got off at the first Jozenkai bus stop which is closest to the Jozenkai View Hotel and walked through the town to get to the hotel which is near the bridge with a good river view. There is actually another bus stop for the No 7 Jotetsu bus right in front of the hotel.

The hotel itself looks a bit tired and out-dated but the Onsen itself is in pretty good condition. There are two separate sections (which rotates between men & women) every few hours, there is a big signboard in front of the onsen to let you know which one is for whom. There is a large rest / lounge area outside of the entrance to the onsen area but they were few guests / onsen users there. The standard rules apply inside the bathing area, no clothes except for the face towel which you can use to cover your privates. You should shower and wash up before entering any of the hot pools. There is a large sign on the rules in the changing area if you need a reminder.

For the afternoon period (3-6:45) when I was there, the men had the smaller Onsen area but there are actually more pools (5 in total including the jacuzzi, rock pool, large indoor, outdoor pool and a small square pool) compared to the larger section which has larger but fewer pools. Each pool runs at a different temperature and you can dip in all of them to see which one you prefer. There is also a dry sauna room if you really want to sweat it out. The inddor onsen area is pretty humid so there is no need for a wet suana room. The outdoor pool area has 1 wall partially open (above 5 ft) that allows the fresh winter air to enter and chill the air around the pool. It's an interesting experience to have your body immersed in 43C hot water with your head in cool <10C air.

Did not stay over night at the hotel so can't comment on the rooms. Most of the onsen users looked like they were staying there as they were wearing the hotel provided robe / towels. For day trippers that don't have a spare towel, you can rent it for Y300 from the front desk reception. The staff there does understand basic English and is familiar with the bus / onsen pass package, they will take part of your ticket stub and give you back the return bus stub.

Went for the Onsen on the bus pass package

As mentioned by other reviewers, the hotel is rather old and definitely in need of some renovation. Food is mediocre in the hotel. We tried both the buffet breakfast/dinner and lunch at the hotel's restaurant. Staff at the hotel speak very little English. However, the onsen bath more than makes up for all the negative aspects. We found the water quality to be the best of the 3 onsens we tried in Japan.
