a very decent airport hotel. was comfortable and nice. around 3am the room and bed was shaking but it should be due to a minor quake.

This was my second time staying here. We stayed in a different, larger room than last time, and it was very comfortable 😊. It was a 2LDK (2 bedrooms, living room, dining room, and kitchen), so the kids had their own room to sleep in, and we slept in the other room. The kids were so happy about how spacious it was. We cooked dinner and enjoyed drinks like we were at home. There was a bathtub and a separate shower room, so I took a shower while the kids and my boyfriend were using the bathtub. We had a little trouble checking in because the confirmation number wasn't sent to my email, but the staff kindly helped us via video call. There's not much around, but there's a supermarket a few minutes away by car, so it's totally fine to do some shopping and then relax at the hotel. There's also a soba noodle shop diagonally across the street that caught my eye. I just thought it would be nice to have plastic wrap and a peeler. I ended up buying plastic wrap, and I brought my own peeler since many places don't have them. Also, I think it would be better if toothbrushes were provided as a standard amenity instead of being charged extra. Well, I don't use hotel toothbrushes anyway 😂. Almost all the appliances you need are there. There's a microwave, a kettle, and even a rice cooker so you can cook rice 🍚. There's also a washing machine. We only stayed one night, so I didn't do any laundry, but there's detergent, a place to hang clothes, and hangers. If it had been a washer/dryer combo, I might have done laundry that day. There's also a vacuum cleaner and an air purifier. The lighting was a little dim, and I wish it were a bit brighter, although the kitchen was very bright 🤣. It's about a 13-minute walk from Minami-Chitose Station, and the location isn't ideal for shopping if you're walking, but the room itself was excellent. I'd like to stay here again if I have the chance. Transportation Access: 13-minute walk from Minami-Chitose Station

The room was very comfortable and spacious with excellent soundproofing. The lobby was beautiful, and the staff were very friendly, offering to take your luggage to the room and clearly explaining the facilities. The large public bath was very comfortable, making this a highly recommended hotel.

It's a bit further from the station than I thought. There's a Seiko + Seven and a dessert shop, as well as a steakhouse nearby, so accessibility is quite high. Breakfast was also satisfactory. There's a gym, but for some reason it's currently unavailable, which was a little disappointing. A park and shrine are about a 15-minute walk away, making it a good post-meal stroll.

The breakfast was simple and delicious, the accommodation environment was clean and very good, the toilet was separated into wet and dry areas, and bottled water, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and bath tablets were all provided. The transportation is super convenient. After arriving at Chitose Station, follow the instructions in the subway. You don't have to walk on the road, and you can get there indoors in a short time!

The room was okay except for the placement of the bed which made the space uncomfortable for the other user and the lighting as the lights are concentrated on the entrance of the room only (although the rest of the room are sufficiently lit). Amenities are okay but hope they can likewise provide more English translations for the tourists. Overall, still 5 stars.

This day trip is quite fulfilling, allowing you to easily explore Noboribetsu and Lake Toya without driving. Our guide, Ms. Onodera, was friendly and funny, providing thorough introductions to the history of each attraction, as well as Hokkaido's unique food, entertainment, and recommendations. The meeting point was clear, the weather was great, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. There was plenty of time at each stop to take pictures. Lunch was a simple meal purchased at a convenience store, which we enjoyed while sitting by Lake Toya and taking in the scenery. At Cape Earth, the clear weather allowed us to see Hakodate in the distance, giving us the feeling that the Earth is round. If you didn't purchase a bear park ticket in advance, you can buy one from the guide upon arrival or take a walk around Showa Shinzan outside the park. Along the mountain roads, we were pleasantly surprised to occasionally see wild deer by the roadside. At the Lake Toya observation deck's gift shop, you can buy yogurt drinks, balloon pudding, birch sap, and lavender-related products. You can also purchase medicinal horse oil at the bear park. I think this tour offers excellent value for the money.
