Natural Hot Spring Hakuchou no Yu Super Hotel Kushiro Station Front

It was my first stay in a while. It’s a one-minute walk from the station, so you can get there safely even in the snow. The Onsen is on a men/women time schedule and is a bit small, but it wasn’t an issue. The complimentary welcome bar with sake, wine, whisky, and more was much appreciated because it meant we didn’t have to go out in the cold. I’ll be happy to stay again.

The location is very convenient, as it is right next to the station and bus terminal. The Room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Although there is a large public bath, it operates on a time-based schedule with separate hours for men and women, and the washing area has only three stations and feels cramped. The in-room unit bath is also small and not very easy to use. I always stay in a non-smoking Room since I don’t smoke, so it was disappointing that the smoking room that should have been on the first floor was no longer available.
