We stayed for 4 nights in Nakamuraya Ryokan and had a very good time. The rooms are pretty big for Japan and we like the public bath very much. The Ryokan is clean and the Staff is very polite. We didn´t try the Breakfast but i looks nice.

“A remarkable stay!”
-Safety briefing! They go the extra mile by doing this, what others don't do. -They brought my luggage upstairs, readily placed inside my room upon check-in hour. I was out exploring because I arrived in the morning. Another exceptional gesture is that they placed a plastic mat under my luggage, to ensure the place was kept clean. I love this! -They prepared one cold water and one hot water thermos in the room. Although there is no kettle provided, this is enough for me. -Definitely the traditional building setup, interiors and all which is the ultimate reason I booked with them. And I love the fact that they provided the yukata, what a dream came true! -I would say that having a spacious room in Japan is a luxury. It's like a mini house for me, a great personal space for a solo traveler like me. -I will say that I loved everything about this place! I felt lucky that I was able to get a room like this even though it was just 1 month before my travel date. I would have extended my stay but the room was no longer available.

The ofuro/ spa was a little disappointing. It was small and cramped - just small enough to fit in or two people. The water is half full and not hot at all, only warm.

“Value for money, traditional experience with onsen in Sapporo itself.”
The location, friendly and welcoming staff, and the facilities were top notch. Also, well portioned breakfast, and nice souvenir selection and onsen.

“A clean, simple ryokan with very friendly service.”
It felt like an old-school ryokan: no frills, but a clean room with extremely helpful and friendly service, and a nice bath. It's nice that a place like this exists in Sapporo.

A wonderful Ryokan with friendly service and a very good breakfast. Large rooms with traditional furnishings and private bathrooms are more than you'd expect when traveling in Japan. Thank you very much for perfect stay in Sapporo.

Everything was perfect: extremely kind staff available 24/7, big and beautiful room, delicious breakfast and lunch, good hot springs. Excellent position about 10 minutes on foot from the central Sapporo station, literally in front of the Hokkaido University botanical garden and behind the red brick government office building.

“Exceeded my expectation!”
Got my own room but it's more like a little apartment without kitchen. Very spacious for 1 person. Would be perfect for 2. Very clean and quiet.
