Immediately after we get off the bus from Sapporo staff member rushed out from the hotel and helped us move the big luggages from the bus station across the street into the hotel. While I was finishing up the check in procedures they are cleaning the outside and the wheels on my luggage. These are the little details that gave me an first impression that this 4 star hotel really pay attention to little details. Staff member then took my luggages to my room (of course not expecting a tip because this is japan). She gave a brief tour of the room and we were impressed by the scenery outside the window. All the rooms in this hotel are facing the river (the river is not huge and have much bigger water flow a hundred years ago not sure the reason why). The onsen area is clean with a lot of cleanings supplies like facial rubs, shampoo, body soap, etc. The water temperature is around 40-42'c which is on the medium temperature and just right. There is also a outside section which is outdoor and boy it was chill. In room dinner was served right at the prearranged time and brought into the room, served and cleaned up by another staff member. The dinner was excellent but don't expect you will be full like a buffet type. The food portion is just right and it's all about the presentation. Breakfast was served at the cafe on the 6th floor and it is excellent again. Prestation and taste is excellent. Front desk also helped us to book the return bus back to Sapporo. excellent hotel !
