A bit on the outskirts of popular places but hotel is cery new and great for families, business people and those who can't get lodging during baseball season or ski season.
Very pleased with the place.
Wonderful new hotel, directly connected to the JR train and Chuo bus station.
Spotted a couple of grannies using the long covered indoor sloped path for strolling exercise early every morning. Good idea.
The hotel gym is spacious, well equipped, clean but underused.
Transport by bus is easy around Kitahiroshima.
No bath in our room but having a hot shower is really fantastic too.
Flip over the pillow, there's a surprise on the other side, we liked its firm and textured filling (plastic pebbles or beans?) Room even has a sofabed!
Tokou and Coop Elfin supermarkets, the friendly izakaya inside the bus ticketing station are very walkable. Google xlate is your friend here, like Cash & your physical Credit Card is in this area. Working people, friendly gruff guys.
Service was prompt, kind and friendly by the assistants at the self check in area.
One of the staff seemed surprised to hear that Singapore had no snow but was average 30-32°c and only had rain. Fair deal cos it was my 1st time being in snowy conditions too!
Shuttle bus for ES CON Field Stadium every 15 mins from beside the Lawsons of the same building. Pastry shop, Soft Serve shop served quality food at reasonable prices, no wait.
It's a wonderful place to stay with kids too. Many families there.
A nice place to start exploring from, away from all the crowds and traffic. Good for a slow pace I guess.
If you're a Fighters fan, this is the spot for you! Also, I guess in other seasons it is more forgiving too.
Snow there is so much cleaner and finer than in Sapporo. Loved it. Next time I'll start my trip from Tomakomai Port and move upwards perhaps and stay a few nights here again.
