Experience of the stay
It takes about 5 minutes from Nakajima Park Station on the Namboku Line. (There will be a wait at the signal on the main road, so it's about a 3-minute walk.)
I reserved a twin room, which is spaciously designed with a sofa and TV area in the front and a bed area in the back. There’s a bench by the window, so there’s plenty of space to spread out your luggage. Also, there's a large public bath, so the separate raffled loungewear for the upper and lower halves gave a good impression.
The futon was light and very easy to sleep on. Although it’s just one station from Susukino, it was nice that the outside noise was quiet.
The large public bath is open until 2:00 AM, and it was quite crowded around midnight (perhaps because of the fireworks festival?). However, there are many vertical lockers and plenty of washing and bathing areas, so even if it's crowded, it was manageable.
The bath includes an indoor bath, jacuzzi, open-air bath, and cold bath.
The sauna can comfortably fit 8 people, and it seems it could accommodate up to about 12 people in a spacious design. The 85-degree dry sauna with a TV and the cold bath around 15 degrees were very nice.
Personally, I appreciated that the elevator had little waiting time despite being on a high floor, but it was unfortunate that the restaurant supervised by Snow Peak on the first floor was fully booked due to reservations. I plan to make a reservation next time!
Experiences during the trip
Since breakfast was not included, I went to "Saeira" at Odori Station to eat sandwiches. The summer limited Yubari melon (available until the melon runs out) was sweet, melting, and delicious!
There are many foreign group visitors, and there are long lines depending on the time of day, so I recommend going right when they open.
I arrived around 9:45 on Saturday and waited 15 minutes, and I was able to enter in the first round. It gets fully booked as soon as it opens, but they are well prepared, and there are many staff, so they serve quickly. (Some people who eat quickly left within 15 minutes.)
