Ryokan Sensyoen

Excellent service and breakfast!

We used this place for the 3 night accommodation while snowboarding at Kamui Resort. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return!! You can also buy the discounted lift tickets at the front desk!!

Great staff and great place We will go back again

We enjoyed the stay, and the food was great. We drove 30 minutes to the zoo and a floral farm, as there was not really much to see or do in the immediate vicinity.

The staffs are really nice!!

Excellent customer service, beautiful gardens, great Japanese breakfast, free parking and wifi, and a nice onsen bath all included in room price. Our tatami room was very spacious and quiet. The only improvement we recommend is better air conditioning, but keeping the window open at night maintained our room temperature comfortable.

The staff the food, facilities and room are all excellent. First class in every way Thank you to all who helped me

Excellent experience in every manner. But curtainless Japanese paper window might not suit city people when sun rises around 4:00am in the morning.

Wonderful experience of Japanese accommodation! Everything was so clean and quiet

The staff were the highlight of this Ryokan, incredibly accommodating and kind, although no one spoke any English. As other reviewers have said, the hotel itself feels somewhat old, and not in a pleasant way. It has a faint musty smell and needs updating. It was less traditional than other Ryokans I stayed in, the entry, common areas, and hallways were identical to a Western-style hotel, and only the rooms were done in traditional Japanese style. Despite this, the restaurant was fantastic, I ate dinner there both nights even though it was not included. Everything was delicious. The included breakfasts had more food than I could ever dream of eating with a huge amount of variety. It was very enjoyable. The location left something to be desired, not near anything, you need a car to get anywhere.

Came here after a day of skiing in Kamuy Ski Links. The place was absolutely gorgeous with great accommodations in traditional Japanese style. The service, onsen, breakfast, everything was great. The ryokan is a bit far from downtown Asahikawa but we had a car so not an issue. Will stay here again

The rooms were very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and gave us a good start to our days. The onsen warmed up our cold bodies each night and enabled us to sleep very well. It was nice to stay within the quiet neighbourhood where the inn is.

Quaint little place with beautiful gardens

Very clean and well presented family run large size ryokan. Outstanding service , showed excellent Japanese hospitality. Food was great, the third generation owner greeted us at dinner. The son spoke very good English. I saw him left some feeds outside in the open car park during breakfast for birds, and birds came. The small shop sells nice stuff that were clearly selected by the owners. In all, if you want to experience Japanese culture and have the western comfort , this place is worth a stay. With onsens too.

Very nice and friendly staff. Great breakfast. Morning coffee corner with the Japanese garden view is superb.

Traditional Japanese Style. The Japanese breakfast is great.

We were a group of 5 who stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The staff helped us with our luggages to the rooms, and when we changed room to a bigger room on the second night, they moved our luggages for us as well. The staff also helped us cut up the melons we bought from the supermarket. Excellent service which is very commendable. The rooms were clean and the toilet was very modern compared to other ryokans. Jacuzzi in the onsen was also nice. The location is easy to find, but recommended only if you have a car because it's not in town itself. The soba restaurant downstairs is also excellent. Only downside is that you need to find parking when you go to town, but my advice if you want to walk around downtown is to check out the restaurants that you want to go to first, because they usually have free parking. Overall perfect experience staying here, would highly recommend.

Ryokan sensyoan is a family business, and is now managed by the 3rd and 4th generation. There is a lot of love and history in this place, and they try to manage this place as closely as it was back then. Having stayed in mostly ryokans this trip, I can safely say that this one is the best one out of all. The room that we had was spacious and had an amazing view of their japanese garden. There were both indoor and outdoor onsens. As a small ryokan with only 16 guestrooms, they are able to customize the service a lot, and ensure that their guests feel special. Privacy was also a great plus because of the size of the ryokan.The most noteworthy experience was the Kaiseki dinner, it was AMAZING, the most unforgettable culinary experience that we've had. The quality was top notch and was probably the best meal we had in our 16 day trip in Hokkaido. I would recommend Ryokan Sensyoen, not just as a place to stay, but for the experience itself of staying in a traditional japanese ryokan!

Very friendly staff, even the owner came over at dinner to welcome us

Staff were friendly and accomodating especially parking and Japanese customs.
