Shogetsu Grand Hotel

Everything was great, from the room, room size, onsen, food, lounge, and price. The room is spacious compared to many other japanese style room elsewhere and it's also very clean and comfortable. We had the half-board booking and both the dinner and breskfast were extraordinary. Both were kaiseki course meal with all kinds of food locally produced. We had more than enough food. Since we were traveling in a group of a few couples, we found the lounge area and the lounge snacks and drinks to be perfect to accommodate groups. There were honey tasting, beers, and after dinner snacks which were a perfect setting to just chill and hangout. Lastly, the hotel offer shuttle bus back to sapporo in the morning. The location is also good as it is a short walk to the Jozankei small town and to the bus stop.

The facility was beautiful. We could see the fantastic gorge from our room; even see the steam coming out of the hot springs. Indoor/outdoor springs were spacious and clean

Beautiful spacious room. Onsen. Lovely view. Enjoyed the dinners.

The food (kaiseki), the lounge with free drinks, snacks, honey, yogurt and nice view on the river The onsen

Is has been eight years since we last visited the hotel. They sure did a marvelous job revamping the hotel. The look is now modern, chic and minimal in style. They now offer shuttle bus service from Sapporo JR station to the hotel and vice versa but you need to book in advance. The food is excellent, so is the hot bath springs.
