JOZANKEI DAIICHI SUIZANTEI

Perched on a hill in Sapporo’s Jozankei hot‑springs town, this luxury onsen ryokan serves panoramic valley views. It’s a short 10‑minute walk to Jozankei Hot Spring and Jozankei Futami Park, about 28 km from Sapporo city centre and roughly 65 km from Chitose Airport. Pet-friendly facilities include a dedicated pet room.

The property blends classic ryokan vibes with modern touches. There are 60 air‑conditioned rooms, including 22 special rooms with private open‑air baths that look out over the valley. Guest rooms come with refrigerators, flat‑screen TVs, desks and in‑room safes. Bathrooms feature separate bathtubs and showers plus bidets. The women's bathhouse is crafted in wood; the men's house features a dramatic 7‑meter natural‑rock waterfall.

Soak in multiple onsen options — indoor baths, open‑air baths and saunas — then book an on‑site massage or spa esthetique. Other highlights: hot tub, karaoke and party rooms, a cafe and gift shop, bar/lounge and on‑site restaurant. A complimentary area shuttle and free self‑parking make getting around easy. Wake to steam drifting through the valley for an unmistakable hot‑spring morning.

Free internet access is available across the property. The ryokan also provides a 24‑hour front desk, concierge, room service, luggage storage and safe deposit boxes.

Japanese restaurants are on site, and dinner can be delivered to your room. There’s also a casual cafe plus a bar/lounge for drinks. Note: guests planning to dine should check in by 6 pm. For nearby options, Onsen Shokudo (an Indian spot) is close by.
