Hotel Daiheigen Otofuke, Otofuke

I had a memorable stay at this charming onsen hotel by the Tokachi River. The attention to detail in the rooms provided a genuine feel of traditional Japan, and the hot spring baths were refreshing, though I wished for a little more variety in the dining options. The hot air balloon experience was unfortunately canceled, but the overall ambiance and clean facilities made up for it. A few language barriers in the hotel's information could be improved.

Staying at this countryside onsen hotel was a unique experience with a charming balloon theme, though I missed the actual festival as I visited in winter. The onsen offered a different and pleasant experience with its plant-based water, but the dining options were just average. The rooms were rather small but clean, and the hotel had a cozy feel. While the location was convenient for enjoying local festivals and activities, the overall experience could be enhanced with better dining options and clearer communication about activities.

Daiheigen offers a unique experience in a traditional Japanese ryokan setting, complete with beautiful aesthetics and clean, comfortable accommodations. The hot spring experience is top-notch, with water quality that noticeably improves skin texture. However, the lack of English signage and information can be a bit frustrating for non-Japanese speakers, and the communication regarding the hot air balloon activity could be clearer.

Staying at the ryokan was an incredibly unique experience that truly encapsulated traditional Japanese culture. The attention to detail in the rooms and the overall cleanliness was impressive. However, a few things could be improved, such as the communication regarding activities like the hot air balloon ride and more English signage for easier navigation. The hot springs are definitely a highlight, but the dining experience left something to be desired for those looking for variety.

Staying at this ryokan was a unique experience that truly showcased traditional Japanese culture. The clean and beautiful environment, along with the comforting amenities, made our visit memorable. However, the lack of English literature was a bit of a challenge, and the older room setup may not appeal to everyone's tastes. Overall, it was a delightful stay, especially for those looking to immerse themselves in Japan's rich culture.
