Japan is a country with a long north-south axis, so even if we talk about traveling to Japan in one word, the temperature and characteristics vary greatly depending on the destination. Today we will introduce a hotel in Hokkaido, a very popular northern tourist destination. This hotel is very popular for its natural hot spring spa. Although the hotel is celebrating its 20th anniversary, it has a luxurious and clean atmosphere that does not feel old. The staff is full of hospitality, and everyone who has stayed here has a reputation for being satisfied. Please enjoy a luxurious trip by warming your cold body in the warm natural hot spring in cold Hokkaido!
Recommendations
The hotel is directly connected to Sapporo Station, making it very convenient to get around. Hokkaido is a very popular tourist destination in winter, but it is very difficult to get around due to the large amount of snowfall. Therefore, it is very convenient to be directly connected to the station!
The breakfast menu also uses ingredients produced in Hokkaido, and has a reputation for being a very satisfying breakfast menu. You can have a uniquely Japanese set meal at “Tancho” where you can eat Japanese set meals. You can feel Japan by eating this breakfast, which includes grilled fish, fluffy cooked rice, and miso soup. Hokkaido is famous for its seafood. You can even have a bowl of fresh seafood in the morning.
At SKY J, a Japanese/Western buffet restaurant, there are about 40 different dishes on the menu, including salmon roe marinated in soy sauce and cheese from Hokkaido. It is perfect for those of you who want to eat delicious foods from Hokkaido without being restricted to Japanese cuisine.
In the popular natural hot spring spa, you can enjoy a panoramic night view of the city of Sapporo. The spa area features a hot spring bath, VibraBath, Finnish sauna, water bath, and body cleanse, as well as a minus ion steam sauna for men and a massage bath “Karunia Isle” and mist sauna for women, making it the perfect healing space. In the season when it is cold enough to snow, the hot spring baths are a luxurious way to warm your body from the core.
Points to note
The very popular spa is open to non-guests, so it may be crowded depending on the timing. There is also an additional fee to use the spa even for overnight guests. There is an age limit of 18 years or older to use the spa, so if you have small children, parents should stagger the times and take turns entering the spa. Guests who are intoxicated, have irezumi or tattoos are not allowed to enter the spa or receive treatment. If you have tattoos but want to enjoy the hot springs, choose an inn with a private hot spring bath.

If Hokkaido in winter is appealing, but getting around is a challenge, we recommend the JR Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo, which is directly connected to the station. Hokkaido is a large island, and travel in Hokkaido tends to involve a lot of moving around.
