People at the reception were very kind to offer me the cooling patches for my twisted foot. Therefore my foot healed quickly. The convenience stores are very close. There's a private bath room and hot springs. Its a few minutes walk from the bus stops.

“A once ‘good’ to stay hotel but now in sad state”
It has a big lobby yet the room was tight especially the shower, toilet area. No hooks or bars to hang clothes when showering or changing.

“A Little Disappointed”
The rooms were large by Japanese standards. The beds and facilities were clean enough. The buffet meal in their restaurant was excellent with a wide variety of dishes and lots of food even though it was very crowded. The buffet breakfast also was good.

The location to the Kurodake Ropeway was near. Only interesting part of the hotel is they have mixed bath, which I have never tried before.

“A true Japanese-style minibreak!”
I wanted to experience something that is a big thing in Japan - the minibreak at a huge onsen hotel in the mountains, and the Sounkyo Kankou fitted the bill perfectly. A nice big room, huge buffet restaurant offering excellent breakfast and dinner, and a laundromat which was very handy halfway through my holiday were among the good points. I was so glad I did a dinner + breakfast deal because, apart from one ramen restaurant, the only other places to eat in the village are the four or five other big hotels. The Kankou, incidentally, was just down the road from where I arrived on the the bus from Asahikawa, so if you are reliant on public transport you might face a stiff uphill walk with your luggage if you went to one or two of the other hotels. The ropeway is a short walk away, and the hiking opportunities are brilliant.
