Hotel Analysis
Based on 4 sites · 3,834 reviews
Sounkyo Kanko Hotel is a 3-star tourist hotel in Sounkyo Onsen village, Asahikawa, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Guests often visit for onsen experiences in nature. The most mentioned feature in reviews is the large outdoor onsen bath.
Reviews across sites repeatedly praise the 'huge mixed outdoor bath with natural hot spring water that's really hot.' Couples and families say it's 'great for relaxing with artificial waterfalls,' and many are satisfied with the variety and taste of the buffet breakfast. Proximity to Sounkyo attractions and a 7-11 is commonly noted as convenient.
However, the building feels dated, with rooms described as old-fashioned. Some mention 'cramped bathrooms or cleanliness issues' and 'smoky non-smoking rooms.' Evening parking congestion and buffet crowds are occasional complaints.
It's suitable for couples or families seeking onsen-focused relaxation. Expect a classic Japanese hot spring hotel experience in nature.
