This is one of the prime resort hotels in the south of Hokkaido, Japan's main northern isle, offering open-air hot spring rock bathing areas and a rich choice of other amusements and delights. The general vicinity includes the remains of the “Goryokaku” pentagonal fortress and other renowned historical relics, Shikabe Geyser and numerous other impressive spots that enable guests to commune with the majestic natural setting. After enjoying an invigorating hike in the fresh, clear air, return to savor the spectacular view of the nighttime sky from your plush hotel room.
