Sanitation maintenance falls short in parts of the guest bathrooms, where water stains and brown mildew are visible around washbasins, faucets, and tile grout.

Hallways on smoking floors and tatami mats inside smoking rooms retain strong odors of stale cigarette smoke and persistent mustiness.

Considering the age of the structure, the guest rooms are relatively spacious, providing ample room for multi-person groups and luggage storage.

Staff members are stationed next to front desk self-check-in kiosks to ensure a smooth and prompt arrival procedure.

To prevent traffic congestion in front of the building, dedicated parking areas are located separately uphill towards the footbath area.

Shuttle bus transportation is available connecting the property with Sapporo Station and New Chitose Airport.

Due to a substantial volume of group tour guests, the lobby and public areas can become somewhat congested and noisy during specific peak hours.

Large public baths and open-air hot spring baths are situated in both the main building and the annex, allowing guests to choose their preferred bathing atmosphere.

During the winter months, the water temperature in the outdoor baths tends to run somewhat lukewarm, making it difficult to retain warmth.

While the natural spring water quality is well-regarded, mineral scaling and mildew can be seen on showerheads and ceiling tiles in the public bath.

During full capacity or peak bathing periods, the shower stalls inside the public bath can become congested, leading to brief waiting times.

To mitigate congestion in the breakfast and dinner buffet halls, meal entry timeslots are designated in advance during check-in.

The breakfast buffet centers on staples like salmon sashimi rice bowls and curry, though satisfaction varies depending on the proportion of processed food items.

At the dinner buffet, guests can prepare their own Jingisukan grilled mutton and seafood kamameshi (pot rice) at tableside personal burners.

Restaurant and front lobby staff provide courteous hospitality, and traditional evening futon-laying service is carried out smoothly.

A local municipal hot spring bath tax is charged on-site at checkout, separate from standard booking rates.

Guest room windows offer pleasant views of the surrounding natural landscape and hot spring forest scenery.

Convenience stores and the main hot spring shopping street are situated at the bottom of a slope, requiring a noticeable walk.

Compared to neighboring hot spring properties, nightly rates inclusive of buffet breakfast and dinner provide strong cost-effective satisfaction.
