I came for a bit of skiing and had a lovely visit. The room was comfortable, and the kitchenette is great. I only wish I had stayed longer so I could have used it. There isn’t a proper grocery store in Jozankei, so it would be best to get groceries in Sapporo before heading up to Jozankei. The Onsen was amazing and the bed was very comfortable. Communication was excellent, and checkin was easy and seamless. My only critique is with the hearing system. There were lots of warnings about not leaving it on for more than 4 hours at a time, so I was often worried about that. But I would definitely stay again!
The onsen and the view was the best thing about this place. The onsen water was the best we’d had on our trip, even though the onsen area isn’t pretty we’re glad we used it and didn’t go to one of the big ones.
The rules and many emails on how to behave was overkill. We live in Japan so understand social rules and how to treat accommodation. Lots of threats on being charged if we did X or Y. I ignored them after the first few.
The building is old and the apartment is not spotless but the kitchen worked and the price was excellent for the Jozankei area. Again, the onsen water and the view in the morning was worth it. 6th floor.
