Ryokans in Monbetsu District

"Room spacious, buffet breakfast & dinner served with varieties, food so so. Bath suits provided if went mixed open air onsen. Lay out of futons by ourselves. Front staff spoke English. It would be good to has a shelter at drop off point for raining days."

"Very well maintained and constant refurbished hotel since Showa period. Full of nature attractions. Dinner & breakfast are excellent. Hotel did many activities In conjunction w 70th anniversary. Souvenir shop has lots of Hokkaido related items. We can even observed deers in the wild. 3 big Onsen bath with excellent views. Due to very remote position, better to have self drive to for better access. "

"The hotel is lovely! A bit dated but very well maintained. The included buffet dinner and breakfast were amazing with many choices of Japanese and Western food! Lovely rooftop onsen plus ground floor onsen. The area around the hotel is a quiet with many ships and restaurants closed but that allowed us to enjoy the hotel facilities."

"It is a little small but overall a nice stay. Good old fashion style. Front desk receptionist can't speak much English but still tried her best to explain. The bathe is good too."

"dinner time too many people. i like the hot spring. very good location."

"We just spent five weeks in Japan and are still talking about the food we ate here. It is nothing short of spectacular. We paid quadruple at other ryokans and this one had the best food, best location and the best onsens. It’s an older place with older, big onsens and for us that was the charm of it. The rooms are very clean, the beds are comfortable. The staff was incredibly kind. We went skiing one day and snowshoeing the next and ended up seeing a red fox each day. Really can’t recommend this...

"日帰り温泉客に靴を間違えられた。何らかの工夫をしてほしい。"

"Sounkyo is a quaint little resort town with not much in the way of facilities, but this hotel helps make up for that. They provided dinner and breakfast so I didn't have to worry about finding a restaurant in the freezing cold. They also have a hot spring, a place to chill and play billiards, and even a movie showing every night in which I regrettably could not partake. I also stayed during Sounkyo's Ice Waterfall Festival, which was marvelous and a bit different from the other winter festivals...
