This hotel is excellent, a true old-money Japanese resort. It's conveniently located, just a 20-minute drive from the airport. Sapporo city is an hour away, and attractions like Lake Toya are within 1.5 hours. It's perfect for those with a rental car or private hire, especially if you're looking to combine golfing with sightseeing.
We booked a lake-view cottage (the hotel charges per person, not per cottage, so be sure to specify the exact number of guests). One wooden cottage can accommodate 4-5 people, and the price increases with the number of occupants. It was great for just two of us to have the whole cottage. If you're with friends, I'd recommend booking two cottages because while each cottage has two toilets, there's only one shower, which can be a bit inconvenient.
The service was exceptionally good. They offer pick-up and drop-off, and the staff constantly checked on our meal arrangements, arriving promptly for transfers. It's quite amazing how, once you make an appointment, all staff members seem to know your itinerary and provide thoughtful, meticulous service. I absolutely loved this! 🤣 However, their English isn't very strong, so having a translation app on your phone is a must. This level of Japanese service surpasses many luxury hotels in Europe.
Staying at Nidom, you'll encounter deer and squirrels, immersing yourself in nature. It's incredibly comfortable and peaceful.
The hotel boasts a golf course with three different courses, and the course environment is superb, as shown in the pictures.
Breakfast is a delicious and generous Japanese set meal. You should also try the roasted lamb restaurant at the clubhouse; the meat is incredibly fresh and tasty. The other two restaurants aren't really worth it, feeling pretty average. The clubhouse dining is almost always a safe bet and consistently delicious.
This will definitely be my top choice for future Hokkaido getaways. I'm already looking forward to my next trip.
