Top Kotan Hotel Reviews

THE FOREST AKAN TSURUGA RESORT

THE FOREST AKAN TSURUGA RESORT

8/10 Good
"This hotel confirmed to me that the Tsuruga chain is reliable - the room was large and had a wonderful lake view. The staff was helpful and efficient during the whole time. They offer you to enjoy the larger onsen at one of their sister hotels in Akanko Onsen and there is an efficient laundry wash room. My only ‘beef’, staying there 5 nights, was that breakfast and dinner buffets offered zero variety day to day with somewhat average food. Yet there was variety enough."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kotan?
The best area to stay in Kotan is around the town centre, particularly near the main onsen (hot spring) resorts and the Ainu Cultural Centre.

This central area offers the most convenience for visitors. Hotels and traditional ryokans are clustered along the main road, providing easy access to local dining and shops. The Ainu Cultural Centre is a key landmark here, offering insights into the indigenous Ainu people's history and traditions. The area also serves as a gateway to exploring the stunning natural landscapes surrounding Kotan.

For couples seeking a relaxing retreat, staying in one of the onsen resorts is an excellent choice. These resorts often feature private hot spring baths, exquisite dining, and serene surroundings, great for unwinding after a day of exploring. Many are situated with views of the surrounding mountains or rivers, adding to the tranquil experience.

Families will find the central area practical due to its proximity to the Ainu Cultural Centre, which often has interactive exhibits suitable for all ages. Several hotels in this area cater to families, offering larger rooms and amenities.
When is the best time to go to Kotan?
The best time to visit Kotan is during the winter months, specifically from December to March, for the most quintessential experience.

The crisp air and snow-covered landscapes create a truly magical setting, ideal for those seeking a peaceful escape.

Couples looking for a romantic and unique getaway will find the winter months particularly appealing. Imagine cosy evenings by a fireplace after a day of watching the elegant cranes dance in the snow, or perhaps a relaxing soak in an outdoor onsen with snow falling gently around you. The natural beauty and quietude of Kotan during this season create unforgettable memories.

For solo travellers seeking reflection and a connection with nature, winter in Kotan provides an unparalleled opportunity. The tranquil environment is great for photography, bird watching, and simply enjoying the stillness of a snowy landscape.
