Hotel with Onsen facilities in a quiet town
Our family stayed over for a night at the hotel to visit Daisetsuzan. Hotel is very close to the cable car in small town of Sounkyo. We were there at off-season so it was quiet. Hotel is bit old but its a nice experience to stay in traditional Japanese accommodation. Rooms and tatami mattress were fine and fits in 4 people (albeit bit tight). Onsen was a good experience to have thats built in the hotel that we all enjoyed. Other facilities appears old and breakfast was average. The town was quiet due to off season with plenty shops closed. Can imagine this would be busy during peak period.

While the room decor was dated and in need of repair, the room was very spacious. The air conditioning was temperamental. The indoor and outdoor onsen were great. The buffet was plentiful.

Old school, old fashioned (read: dated decor, manual check-outs, actual keys for your room), traditional spa resort. The mixed onsen is great, lots of space and different temperatures so you can easily find your perfect spot. Definitely go half board as the evening buffet is excellent. Highly recommended.

The onsens are great.. The buffet was expensive and a little funky. Needs more labor, lots of tables went un-bussed. The carpets are old and a little smelly in the hotel. But, overall a reasonable stay and a decent price.

Perfect getaway
Lovely hotel! While the hotel itself it a little outdated, the staff are incredibly friendly (and know English, which was good for us!). The best part is the onsen, which is quite large and does mixed bathing (they provide you with swim costumes). You are in a great location to get to the ropeway (3 minutes walking), or to go down to the kogen onsen and the brown bear center (1 hour by car). The gorge and waterfalls are also nearby. The buffet was also quiet expansive. It’s not great for vegetarians, but I never came away hungry. My partner, who eats meat, was delighted by the crab - crab in most of the food items, and also crab legs.

Great onsen but old hotel room
The hotel rooms are quite old and not comfortable bedding. But the open air mixed onsen pays it all! Must do the open air onsen.

I like outdoor onsen with hotel suit and view from room. But the shower and dinner menu should be improved. Hotel should provide shuttle bus from/to Kamikawa Station.

Worst Ryokan ever
The hotel is currently under renovation and hotel is covered by scaffoldings. Booked the river view room but was completely blocked. However we were not informed during check in or any time during the booking. Called the helpline but obviously there was nothing done. Buffet food was horrid, like serving a zoo of people. Worse dinner in our entire trip. Ryokans are always famous for their dinner but this one is truly disappointing and disgusting. Every evening, bus loads of Chinese, Taiwan and Hongkong tourists would check in and onsen is always noisy and crowded. Not worth going to this hotel, nothing spectacular or anything worth raving about. It probably has 3 stars rating because it has random people rating it 5 stars with no reviews. Read all the ratings carefully before u book. It’s really really horrid.

Rustic Sounkyo Kanko hotel
The place is clean but a bit old. Staff friendliness is just so so. The place is quite remote but the onsen is nice. The dinner and breakfast buffet are just so so.
