The Suizantei Club offers free drinks and food in the guest lounge, except during dinner time when drinks are chargeable. The staff, who appear to be former hotel employees, speak fluent British English and provide excellent service. I ordered a Highball with From the Barrel and Ichiro's Malt, along with Campari, and enjoyed a relaxing adult time in an authentic atmosphere!

Our second night's accommodation was at the Suizantei Club Teiensan in Jozankei. The room had an open-air bath and a bedrock bath. Dinner was elegant and refined, with a satisfying amount of dishes. The snow crab was juicy, the sashimi was fresh, the eel was delicious, and the steak was extremely tasty! The sake tasting was reasonably priced. I forgot to take a picture, but breakfast was also excellent. It's a quiet inn, and if you stay at a sister property in Jozankei, you can enjoy visiting different communal baths. I will definitely be coming back.

I stayed at Spa Living for one night. It was such a comfortable spa and living space that I didn't even need to go to the communal bath. For dinner, I had Hokkaido Wagyu beef sirloin and filet. The meal was delicious, and I had a great time chatting with the chef. The drinks in the room's fridge, including alcohol, and the drinks at the bar were all-you-can-drink. I had quite a bit to drink on the first day and had a really enjoyable time.

I enjoyed a course meal at a ryokan in the Jozankei Onsen area of Sapporo. Each dish was carefully explained and had delicate and wonderful flavors. There was an additional charge for a variety of sake, which paired well with the Japanese cuisine. In the evening, I enjoyed an all-you-can-drink option at the bar. I also had breakfast here, which was delicious. The facilities in the ryokan were great, allowing me to relax and unwind. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

A hidden gem hotel in Jozankei. The hotel was sophisticated in every aspect. Dinner was enjoyed in a private room, and the staff was very attentive and elegant. For breakfast, I chose the silver cod with Saikyo miso out of three fish options, and it was delicious. I would love to visit again.

This is a ryokan in Jozankei, Hokkaido. I stayed overnight using the 15,000 yen dinner course. From check-in to check-out, food and drinks were always present. Laughing. Check-in explanation: Warabi mochi Room: Kintsuba Until dinner: Light snacks at the lounge Dinner: Course selection from 12,000 yen After dinner: Snacks and a wide variety of drinks at the bar Late-night snack: Inari-zushi and honey ginger Breakfast: Japanese set meal After breakfast: Coffee at the lounge Full stomach. Laugh. The bar has a menu of over 7 pages of drinks. A great service for those who love alcohol! As for the food, considering the price... it was okay. The presentation was very luxurious and beautiful, but maybe the ingredients used were a bit off. The flounder and turnip steamed dish was very Japanese and deliciously comforting. The sashimi was fresh and delicious. The hotel requires the use of stairs, so those needing barrier-free access should be cautious. Also, due to the location, there are many bugs like stink bugs. The staff were all wonderful.

This is a ryokan in Jozankei, Hokkaido. I stayed here after using the 15,000 yen dinner course. From check-in to check-out, food and drinks were always present. The check-in explanation included warabi mochi. In the room, there were kin-tsuba snacks. Before dinner, there were light snacks in the lounge. Dinner included a choice of courses ranging from 12,000 to 20,000 yen. After dinner, there were snacks and a variety of drinks at the bar. Late-night snacks included inari-zushi and honey ginger. For breakfast, there was a traditional Japanese set meal. The bar had a menu with over 7 pages of drinks, which is great for those who enjoy alcohol. The food presentation was beautiful and luxurious, but the quality of the ingredients was a bit lacking. The flounder and turnip dish was delicious, and the sashimi was fresh. The hotel requires the use of stairs, so it may not be suitable for those needing barrier-free access. Additionally, there were many bugs like stink bugs due to the location. Overall, the service was excellent, but the value for the price was questionable. I recommend this place for those who prioritize service.

I visited this restaurant for the first time in over 10 years. It's still a cozy private dining place, and even though it's small and there are no windows, you can relax. It can get a bit noisy if there are loud customers in the neighboring rooms though. The menu and the dishes served were different in some cases, without any explanation. I wonder if the menu was incorrect? Some dishes tasted a bit salty at times, but overall, everything was delicious. The sashimi, in particular, had a great balance of freshness and aging. The best dish was the simmered dish! "Flounder and vegetable steamed with crab sauce" When the dish was served, I was told it had crab and shrimp sauce. This sauce was incredibly delicious!

Breakfast is a lavish feast with a variety of accompaniments that go perfectly with white rice. It includes rich whole milk, white rice, miso soup, five types of pickles, grilled salmon, rolled omelette, seaweed salad, rapeseed blossoms, chawanmushi (savory steamed egg custard), processed fish cake, sashimi (white fish, red fish), vegetables, pickled plum, spicy cod roe, kelp, and more. A delightful and extravagant meal to start the day!

After the meal, guests can enjoy drinks at the bar and relax in the hot springs for a truly rejuvenating experience.

I had a chunk of time off and was looking for a place to stay for a trip. Since it's still January and there's a lot of snow, I decided on Jozankei! I chose the dreamy Suizantei Kuraku Club, a place I've always wanted to stay at! I'm so happy! I arrived at this hidden gem of an inn and was shown to my room. I was so impressed by the spacious room with a spa living room! There's even a sauna! I can't wait for dinner - you can choose between teppanyaki and traditional Japanese course meals! I chose the teppanyaki course this time! The time before dinner can be spent soaking in the hot springs or enjoying the free drink bar - what a luxurious time! We're being greedy and doing both! After getting out of the hot spring, I was surprised to find ramune waiting for me! Now, dinner time. We toasted with champagne! The appetizer platter, seafood, domestic wagyu beef, and the ingredients being cooked right in front of us - the chef's skills and the hospitality of the staff are truly appreciated. And there's more good news! It's bar time after dinner! It's perfect for us who love alcohol! How happy can one get? The master's original cocktails are delicious. The next morning, we had a leisurely breakfast in a private room, and the food was delicious. It was like a dreamy one-night stay!

Suisantei is a great place with fantastic food. You can enjoy seasonal menus, especially the sashimi and meat dishes are delicious! The hair crab sashimi and crab miso are rich and sweet! The Chateaubriand is also tender and really tasty, with a wide variety of dishes that leave you fully satisfied. Even the desserts are delicious until the end. Apart from the drinks with meals, everything is all-inclusive, so we enjoyed Ebisu beer in our room and cocktails at the lovely bar in the evening. The best room is very spacious, stylish, and has a great atmosphere. The artificial fireplace has a warm design, and you can even listen to music in the room. However, it was a bit disappointing that you couldn't see the view from the bath and some wood on the bathroom wall was peeling off and falling into the tub, so I rated it 4.8 overall. The breakfast also includes sashimi, which is a nice touch. The stylish one-plate Japanese meal is served in small portions, but each dish is delicious, making you want more. This is a wonderful inn recommended for those who prioritize food in their stay at a hot spring.

I stayed at a place in Jozankei that was a bit away from the hustle and bustle, allowing me to relax and unwind. The food was delicious, and the service from the staff was excellent, making it the most relaxing stay I've had in Jozankei so far. Each room had its own bath, so I was able to enjoy the private hot spring bath as well.

This is an all-inclusive inn with hot springs that flow directly from the source. You can enjoy a slight view from the bath in your room. Dinner is teppanyaki, but the sauce didn't quite suit my taste. For the last meal, you can choose between ochazuke (rice with tea poured over it) or garlic rice. I recommend the ochazuke. After eating, you can enjoy drinks at the bar, where the cost is included. I had a lovely time chatting with the charming bartender and learning about the local area while enjoying whiskies from Yoichi. I stayed for two nights, with the first night's plan not including meals.

I skied at Sapporo International Ski Resort, but it was the coldest day in years. The gondola lift stopped before noon, so I took a taxi to check into the hotel. Because of the heavy snow, I couldn't even see the shape of the hotel building and went inside. Given the situation, I was able to check in early and had teppanyaki for lunch. From check-in to check-out, all drinks in the minibar were complimentary. The long-awaited dinner exceeded my expectations with a parade of dishes that can only be enjoyed in Hokkaido. It was a delight to have delicious and unique dishes served one after another. After filling my stomach, I spent some time at the bar. Just like the minibar, everything at the bar was complimentary except for special high-end wines. I enjoyed my time at the bar, then returned to my room for more relaxation in the hot springs. Thanks to the snow, I was able to leisurely enjoy the hotel's services. When it was time to leave, it was still snowing heavily. In the end, I returned without even seeing what the hotel looked like from the outside.

Looking at old photos, I found one from a family trip during Golden Week in 2014. We went to a teppanyaki restaurant chosen by my parents, but the food was just okay. I remember wishing we had chosen something other than teppanyaki. The accommodation was very clean and had a luxurious feel. At that time, there was no Jozankei Tsuruiyama, so it was the most expensive inn in Jozankei. Some hot spring enthusiasts may have complaints about the hot springs. There used to be an inn in Jozankei Onsen with amazing hot springs, but it's no longer there. Looking at the photos from that time, I realize that both my wife and I looked pretty good back then. We've both aged since then.

Stayed for a night. In the room, there was an all-you-can-drink selection of beer, sake, guarana, water, black oolong tea, and tomato juice. There was also a UCC vending machine that offered coffee and tea, with each person allowed up to five drinks. The lounge offered self-service until 7 pm, with original cocktails, wine, chai lattes, and other snacks like potato chips, dried salmon, and squid available for unlimited consumption. After 8 pm, the bar opened with most drinks and cocktails being free as well. For a late-night snack, there were inari sushi and yuzu honey drinks. This level of hospitality was unbelievable.

Year-end party from 2020 to ==========
