Jozankei Tsuruga Resort Spa Mori No Uta

Staying at this mountain-side resort in Datejima was an absolute delight. Nestled in the quiet hills near Sapporo, the atmosphere is peaceful and truly feels like a retreat from the city. I booked a room with an outdoor onsen—what a treat! Soaking under the stars with views of the surrounding forest was magical and totally unique. The cleanliness was excellent throughout, and every detail felt thoughtfully maintained. The staff were incredibly attentive and professional, always ready to help without being intrusive. Dinner featured a standout crab hot pot—huge, fresh crab legs and claws, paired with delicious mushrooms and seasonal vegetables. It was generous in portion and so flavorful. Breakfast was another highlight: a rich, thick curry (not the usual soup version) that paired perfectly with rice—simple but deeply satisfying. Every aspect of this stay exceeded expectations. If you're looking for a serene, authentic Japanese ryokan experience with great food and top-tier service, this place is a must-visit.
