Excellent location right near Asahikawa Station! Very convenient for accessing trains and exploring the city. The hotel is clean and modern with efficient check-in service. Rooms are compact but well-designed with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Great value for money in Asahikawa. Staff were friendly and helpful. Perfect for a one-night stopover or as a base for winter activities. Would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is located right at the opposite of the JR station. Comfortable stay and close to the nearby attractions like the Asahikawa Zoo.

I think people who like Hoshino Resorts will be very satisfied. It might not be suitable for those who prefer places like Dormy Inn. The breakfast, in particular, is a bit steep at 2,500 yen for the number of items offered. However, breakfast starts at 6 AM, which is a plus. The location is less about being close to the station and more about being near the entertainment district, making it excellent for going out at night.

The facilities are very new, right next to JR Asahikawa Station, super close. There happened to be a Chinese-speaking staff member at the front desk, and overall, we were very satisfied with our stay. There's also a large public bath, and it was only 1600 NTD per night, which is an amazing deal!
Convenience of transportation: Excellent
Hotel location: Next to JR Asahikawa Station

The staff was very friendly and considerate, constantly keeping an eye on our parking situation. They noticed we couldn't find the parking lot and came over to check with us. The room was clean, and the water pressure was great, making for a comfortable shower. The kids loved the dolls in the lobby and even took pictures with them.

It was nice that it's close to Aeon Mall and there's a convenience store on the first floor of the hotel. I enjoyed the breakfast, and there's a famous ramen shop nearby. If you come to this neighborhood again, I recommend you visit the place that specializes in oysters; it's really delicious.

Our tour guide, Lucy, was very professional and provided us with a lot of different information. Although our departure was delayed due to a restaurant issue during lunch, Lucy did her best to help us catch up on the itinerary, ensuring that our time visiting the flower fields and other attractions was not reduced. That was fantastic! Also, I had read reviews saying that by the time the tour reached Farm Tomita, the farm would already be closed. However, Lucy specially adjusted the itinerary, taking us to Farm Tomita first, then to Shikisai-no-Oka, Aoiike (Blue Pond), and Shirogane Falls. This allowed us to enjoy cantaloupe and lavender ice cream at Farm Tomita. The arrangements were incredibly flexible! I originally joined this day tour just for the convenience of transportation, but thanks to Lucy, I also learned about Hokkaido's history, culture, cuisine, and more. This was the best day tour I've ever taken! Thank you, Lucy!
