About

Hanamomiji

Hanamomiji sits in the Jozankei onsen area of Sapporo, a valley known for its hot springs and river views. The hotel blends traditional Japanese design — tatami rooms, kaiseki meals, and communal baths — with the conveniences of a modern city hotel: 24-hour reception, a restaurant, and a free shuttle service.

Guest reviews consistently praise the onsen facilities, the quality of the food, and the helpfulness of the staff. With a rating of 9 out of 10 from 282 reviews, this is a property that earns its reputation through service and atmosphere rather than hype.

“I had a wonderful time at this traditional Japanese hotel in Hokkaido. The room was spacious, clean, and had a cozy tatami style. The outdoor onsen on the first floor was the best part — very relaxing after a day of exploring. Dinner was a fantastic kaiseki meal. The location also offered lovely river views from the nearby onsen.”
