A popular hotel near Asahikawa Station. The breakfast may not have as much seafood like crab or sashimi compared to other hotels, but the Asahikawa specialty Shinko-yaki was very delicious and I had seconds. The seats were well-prepared with child-friendly chairs, small spoons, and paper aprons provided, and the service was excellent.

My wife chose the hotel and made the dinner reservation. I just end up paying the bill. We went to Asahikawa, just the two of us. I used to go to different places more often, but now we don't go out as much. This is probably our fourth time in Asahikawa this year. I used to come alone to enjoy drinking, but I don't do that as much anymore. This time, we celebrated my wife's birthday, which we did in Abashiri on the actual day. But that wasn't enough, apparently. My wife said, "That's not enough to be the main celebration, right?" Why is it that the one who celebrates is the one who gets praised? We stayed at the "WBF Grande Asahikawa" hotel. It was my first time staying there. The room on the 6th floor of the 7-story building wasn't big, but it wasn't unsatisfactory either. The hospitality was excellent, no complaints there. The only downside was that the elevator was slow. The hotel boasts of a large communal bath, but I don't really care about that. I thought that I would use the bath in the room the next morning, but when I looked at it again, it was still small. I didn't feel like bothering to heat water for it. I thought I would go to the big bath instead. I went to the outdoor bath, but it was crowded and I came out quickly. That left a bad impression on me. It was just an average communal bath. The outdoor bath, with no one around, was peaceful and the water was nice. Apparently, other than the outdoor bath, it's not a hot spring. Either way, it's not worth paying over a thousand yen to enter the bath. The breakfast is also famous, but it was a bit overpriced for me. The food wasn't that great. I regretted eating the ramen and the curry was just average. There was too much variety, which made it overwhelming. The soup with crab was good, but I had expected more. The scrambled eggs were outstanding, the best I've ever had. The sausage was the biggest disappointment. Individually, each item wasn't bad, but compared to other hotels, I understand why it has a good reputation. It's definitely a good hotel.

I stayed at this hotel in Asahikawa in March 2022. I chose this hotel because they offered a breakfast buffet with seafood bowl, were close to the station, and had a hot spring. Since I was staying in separate rooms from my friend in a business hotel, the photo is of a single room. The room was not very spacious but not inconvenient either. There is a natural hot spring facility on the 2nd floor, which can be used by the general public. There is also a sauna, but it was not in use in the morning. There are several baths, including an open-air one, which was refreshing even in the snowy season. The snow blowing in added to the experience. I stayed for 2 nights and used the breakfast buffet on the second day of the trip. We did not have breakfast included, so we paid on the spot to use it. The buffet area is next to the front desk on the 1st floor. There are table seats and sunken kotatsu-style seats inside. Families might find the sunken seats convenient. The breakfast buffet costs 1760 yen, which is reasonable for a local business hotel. Since the pandemic, it has become common to wear vinyl gloves when getting food. As for Asahikawa gourmet, they had soy sauce yakisoba, shinko-yaki, Asahikawa ramen, and Hokkaido gourmet items such as Genghis Khan, salmon, hokke, imomochi, scallop fry, seafood bowl, and dried Matsumae pickles. I was happy to see my favorite katsu-ni and ham dishes. I would have been even happier if they had cheese. The seafood bowl had ikura, squid, sweet shrimp, salmon, and negitoro, I think. The variety was not extensive, but I appreciated the availability of vinegared rice. Personally, I enjoyed the squid the most. The curry had plenty of meat and was slightly sweet and spicy, making it suitable even for children. The dessert was Kumazasa pudding made with Hokkaido milk, fresh eggs, and cream. It had a hint of Kumazasa flavor, making it easy to eat. Considering the price, the buffet had a good variety and homemade dishes, making it enjoyable even if used for two days.

I stayed at a hotel for breakfast buffet style. I was hoping for unlimited amounts of ikura, but it was bara-zuke don. However, each type of fish was delicious, and there were no tasteless or unfresh ones! Thanks to the second helping, I couldn't finish all the other side dishes. Buffets can sometimes be uncontrollable, right? Wherever you go, there's usually Genghis Khan-like dishes, which is nice and usually delicious! This hotel is affordable, has a spa, and is guaranteed to help you relax to the fullest! #Hokkaido #Asahikawa #Buffet #Breakfast #GenghisKhan #PickledRiceBowl #HotelBuffet

This inn is conveniently located near the station and has hot springs and a rock bath. The rooms are spacious and clean, making it a great place to stay in Asahikawa. However, the breakfast is not very impressive. Some Hokkaido specialties like grilled lamb, Genghis Khan, shishamo, imomochi, and seafood bowl are available, but none of them were particularly delicious.

When the hotel was newly opened, I visited a few times for their bath and meal, but this was my first visit since the hotel changed its name. I was able to stay at a very affordable rate on the last day of Golden Week. The breakfast included salad, ham, bacon, seafood bowl (marinated on that day), pork curry, tonjiru (miso soup with pork and vegetables), corn soup, Asahikawa yakisoba (fried noodles), Asahikawa ramen, potato mochi, Genghis Khan (grilled lamb), fried rice, mapo tofu, shumai (steamed dumplings), Japanese side dishes, grilled chicken, grilled salmon, camembert cheese fry. This was the general menu. Additionally, croissants, bread, desserts (including ice cream), and beverages were available. Since I knew the previous buffet, I felt a bit of loneliness, but I was very satisfied with the breakfast as I could try Asahikawa's specialties. Personally, I really enjoyed the mapo tofu.

[Visit Date: Mid-March 2023] The rating at the time of the visit was 3.10. Stayed at a hotel with a spa and breakfast included. Went to the breakfast venue around 8:30 am and there were empty seats, probably because it was a weekday. I was able to relax. There was seafood available, although there wasn't individual salmon roe, it was still quite delicious. There was also a Kamui Kumazasa pudding and other new items that had an adult taste, making it a good dessert after a meal. Apart from breakfast, there were welcome drinks such as a tasting of 3 types of Japanese sake and a drink and soup bar, which was satisfying. Thank you for the meal.

Hotel breakfast buffet♪ They have local dishes like Genghis Khan and grilled squid, which is enjoyable♪ You can make your own seafood bowl♪ There is also a super public bath for a comfortable stay. It is close to the station and the facilities are clean. Great value for money!

I heard from locals that this place is delicious so I came here. The seafood bowl with salmon, sweet shrimp, tuna sashimi, and squid sōmen is all-you-can-eat which is great. The Genghis Khan, a Hokkaido specialty, was delicious as expected. There are also hidden gems like imomochi and shinyaki. The Asahikawa yakisoba, Asahikawa ramen, and other local specialties were also great. I ended up eating too much since morning. Thank you for the meal! (^^)
