Nakamuraya Ryokan - Sapporo

I loved the traditional ryokan vibes 🌸! The breakfast was amazing, offering delicious local produce at a great price. On the downside, the public bath felt a bit cramped.

Hotel is reasonably large.

The location is great and incredible, within walking distance of city centre...

Popular hotel in a favourable position right by the lovely Botanic Gardens. Welcoming staff, fairly quiet rooms with cookies and tatami style beds, as example. Location close enough to the convenience store and the botanical garden and 10 minutes by foot of the JR station and the comfortable Nakamuraya Ryokan during the 2013 Sapporo Snow Festival. 10 minutes walk from Odori Park.

A quiet location near Sapporo Station made exploring convenient. The traditional atmosphere offered a unique experience that I valued. My room was spacious and impeccably clean. Staff members were helpful, trying their best to communicate in English. I appreciated the effort they made, even picking up a few Japanese phrases myself. Breakfast each morning featured a variety of foods, along with attentive service in the dining area. The old-style nature of the ryokan resulted in limited seating options, which could be uncomfortable for those with mobility issues. There was also an unpleasant sewage smell in the bathroom area at times, impacting the overall experience. Despite these issues, a cozy charm remains that I hope the family-run hotel can enhance moving forward.

The place was tidy with an attentive and wonderfully friendly staff upon my request to change room when we were there. The hotel was in a magnificent location close enough to the lobby/restaurant that carries up to the rooms, the National Parks and Sapporo before heading out to visit the National Parks in Hokkaido.

good service, the breakfast was large and they have private parking if needed. the venue is in the heart of the town.

A blend of tradition and warmth

The polite staff were very good, even helping me find a local clinic when I fell ill. The food was a good burst of flavor.

The public bath, while clean, felt cramped and was not quite an onsen experience. The ryokan had a slightly unpleasant scent in certain areas.

The staff were helpful, and the breakfast was a must-try. Traditional room with tatami mats made it authentic. It's a short walk to many parks and attractions. Highly recommend the in-room dinner.

Charming traditional room with delicious in-room dinner.

In my wife's opinion, the public bath felt a bit cramped for all of us.

A good traditional experience

The traditional room was charming, with futon and tatami mats, and I particularly enjoyed the breakfast with delicious local produce. The hot public bath was a great way to unwind, even if a bit cozy. It would be nice if the bathing area could accommodate more guests comfortably.

The stay offered a traditional atmosphere with charming rooms with futons and sliding doors. Breakfast included a good variety, particularly enjoying the cold buffet dishes available. The public bath felt too cramped for comfort, and the limited food options were underwhelming compared to other ryokans. While the location was peaceful, it lacked scenic views was great.

the staff prepares traditional green tea upon arrival. lack of kettle in the room.

The breakfast is a real treat with all sorts of yummy stuff like miso soup, fresh fruit, and potstickers! The staff really went outta their way to.

The staff here were incredibly nice and welcoming throughout my entire stay. 😊.
