Best Chitose Spa Hotels

We have stayed at hotels located in or very near major airports. Some have been good, but we have found those actually in the airport usually practice treating guests as prisoners who don’t have other good options. Service there is usually average at best and care of the property is often marginal. Not so with the Sapporo Portom International. We wish every major airport in the world had a hotel just like it. It is new, modern, comfortable, well maintained, and run by a professional helpful staff. Our room was a Superior Twin, a typical shoe-box shaped hotel room, this one on the big side. Those who frequent hotels know the typical shoe box room will suffice as long as it’s clean and the water is hot, but you also probably notice some owners do a lot more than others with their rooms to make guests comfortable. This room has all the latest high tech, from lights to tv to curtains to outlets for charging. There’s a safe, fridge, and nespresso coffee maker. The bathroom has a little wet room with separate tub and shower. However, unlike many Japanese hotel wet rooms we encountered, the shower was western style (rather than the onsen-style with both shower and faucet, sitting stool and big bowl). However, if you want an onsen bath, the real thing can be accessed on the 4th floor of the hotel where there is everything you need to cleanse and then soak in a public bath of hot mineral water. The hotel also appears to be designed to facilitate quiet and rest. It’s purposely dimly lit and located at one end of the international terminal away from other airport services. It has black-out curtains. The location, which helps keep it quiet, is about 15-minutes' walk from the domestic terminal where most of the airport’s services are located (just a Lawson's convenience store nearby the hotel as well as a Visitor Welcome Center type place). Even if your itinerary doesn’t take you to the domestic terminal side of the airport, if you have time, you’ll likely want to peruse the many shops and restaurants over there. If you’re technology challenged, make sure to quiz the staff member who accompanies you to your room on room features and how they work. At checkout we were provided an airport cart and they loaded our luggage on it for us. This cart together with moving walkways between the international and domestic terminals removed a lot of the burden of crossing the airport on foot with luggage. We wanted to avoid rushing from the Sapporo city center to catch a 40-minute train or taxi to the airport for an early morning flight. The Sapporo Portom International was perfect, plus it afforded us a final onsen experience in Japan. Please build more.

Pros: 1. Hotel is conveniently located in the Domestic airport terminal. The lift actually brings you directly to the arrival/departure hall 2. Free breakfast & Onsen 3. Get to see the planes up close. Runway is right outside the window 4. Near to shopping street Cons: 1. Hotel is a bit old (it’s clean though), need to use physical keys to open door kind 2. Domestic terminal closes at 11.30pm, so must make sure to reach before then. All other shops and convenient stores closes early

Truly a world class onsen resort! My partner and I booked a 2 night stay and was truly taken care of with dignity by ALL of the staff members we've interacted with. The minute we drove into the compound, our car was politely taken over by the valet staff, and luggages handled by their concierge - we literally completed check in without the hassle of finding a parking spot or dragging our luggages around. Every staff member, and I truly mean all of them, made sure they greeted you and ensured that you have everything you need. I highly recommend going for the Kaiseki Meal at the Japanese restaurant within the compound. We were taken care of by 中谷-san, who does his best to converse with us in English and made sure we know what we're consuming. Food was delicious, well-plated and very fresh. One thing to note - this is a superbly well-maintained onsen resort that probably has been established for many years now. Given the age of the facility, you won't be finding modern fixtures like USB outlets and cable TV in the room. Nevertheless, the beautiful and well-kept interiors would certainly make up for that. You'll also find amenities like sewing kit, nail clipper and even indigestion medicine (wow!) in case you ever need them. Highly recommended if you're in Hokkaido!

A great hotel on the way to the airport, stayed for one night, the hotel is not big, the rooms are also tiny but everything is necessary. The hotel is near the subway branch, you can get to the center or airport if the flight is not very early. The staff was very responsive, we were with ski equipment, we were allowed to leave it down to not drag it into the room, so we asked to call a taxi in the morning that would take us with the equipment, the taxi was exactly at the time. There is a thermal pool on the first floor, as well as everything necessary up to the haircut. Nearby, a huge supermarket and one stop atlet. On the last day we managed everything)

I stayed in the Bon Festival for a long time. It is only the highest peak of the Tsuruya Resort, and it is very luxurious such as decoration in the building. It was a space like an art museum such as a stacked wall in the lobby and earthenware and sculpture owned by the museum. The room uses suite sky resort. There are main roads and parking lots in front of you on the top floor of the 4 floor, but the view was good with the panoramic view of Lake Shiho and the distant mountains. The room was also a room with a room of 100 ㎡ over 々, and the open-air bath was satisfied with a large bath where four adults put in. All inclusive service allows you to eat all sake, drinks and snacks. I also handled champagne and ordered it many times during my stay. The meal is Japanese kaiseki and iron plate yaki, and it is also used in two places. We used high-class ingredients such as seasonal ingredients and sea urchin kinki, and it was delicious. The service side needs to be improved a little. * Compared to the previous time, the weekend was full, and the timing of the arrangement was slow. * Taxi arrangement time mistake (it was good because I checked in the morning and was in time...) * I bring it with a bottle without ice pale or plug at the time of champagne request... * It is the second stay this year, but I was asked to describe the inn book I received the impression that some men at the front desk were unfriendly ＆ I couldn't get a little cooperation. Just a comfortable stay to cover it, so I would like to use it again.

This is an inn facing the shore of Lake Shikotsu. Lake Shikotsu never freezes, and the inns are open all year round. The inn was located in a corner of Lake Shikotsu, and we encountered many wild animals. (Deers, foxes, etc.) The open-air bath is linked to the water level of Lake Shikotsu, and the water level in the bath changes depending on the day, giving it a natural feel. The water is deeper than expected, so be careful when taking a bath with children. From the open-air bath, you could see Lake Shikotsu and Mt. Tarumae in the distance, which was very soothing. It's nice to have a sauna as well. It was handmade and you could feel the owner's love for saunas. Breakfast was a buffet, but some of the menus were difficult to understand, so I hesitated. I thought it would be good if you could add some explanation. Personally, I really liked the quality of the spring water in the bath. It's open all year round, so I'd like to visit in the winter next time.
