Ulasan Lake Shikotsu Tsuruga Resort Spa Mizu No Uta

From the moment we arrived at Mizu no Uta, Tsuruga Resort at Lake Shikotsu, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquil luxury. Valet parking greeted us, and we were swiftly escorted to a path lined with zen music, setting the tone for a stay where every detail exudes serenity. Upon entering the reception, a majestic wooden carving of an owl, a powerful symbol of protection in Ainu culture, watched over us. In a delightful and intimate touch, we were asked to remove our shoes – a gesture that immediately made the resort feel like a sanctuary. Walking barefoot on soft wooden floors in such a refined environment felt like the ultimate indulgence. Live harp music floated through the air as we were led past a live fireplace, its warm flames inviting guests to roast marshmallows, adding a whimsical, yet homely feel to the elegant surroundings. The staff, attentive yet discreet, escorted us to our room via separate lifts, ensuring our luggage was seamlessly handled. Entering the room, we were struck by its sheer spaciousness. A half-sized fridge, thoughtfully included, perfectly stored all our chilled treats from the road trip. But the true star was the view: an uninterrupted panorama of lush greenery, stretching out to meet the serene waters of Lake Shikotsu. The combination of the stunning scenery and the luxurious in-room robe made us feel like chaebols, lounging in opulence and shielded from the cool lakeside breeze. As for the dining, the buffet at Mizu no Uta is nothing short of spectacular. Where many buffets struggle to balance quantity and quality, this resort excels at both. Highlights included a live dessert station and a live pizza-making corner, where thin-crust pizzas, surprisingly better than those from Furano’s famed Cheese Factory, were expertly prepared. The spread also featured an incredible assortment of sashimi – the freshest I encountered during my 1.5-week trip across various hotels. The salmon and mackerel, both raw and uniquely marinated in glass jars, were exceptional. The hot dishes maintained the same elevated standard. A simple tomato-based clam spaghetti was transformed by the quality of ingredients, while even the sautéed kailan was enhanced with the addition of Parma ham. Local produce, such as the fresh broccoli used in the cream-based dishes, lent an unmistakable brightness to each bite. The combination of Japanese and Western cuisine was balanced beautifully, with every plate delivering a sense of thoughtful craftsmanship. Of course, no stay at a lakeside resort would be complete without a visit to the onsen bath. While slightly smaller than the one at Lake Akan, the onsen here is far superior in cleanliness and upkeep. Conveniently, the bath is stocked with towels, so there’s no need to carry your own from the room. The experience is further enhanced by a sauna illuminated with soothing blue light, adding a layer of tranquility to the ritual. The open-air onsen is another highlight. For those who appreciate the purity of nature, the bath even features drinkable Lake Shikotsu water, renowned as one of Japan’s top 100 spring waters. This thoughtful touch, coupled with the stunning views, creates an immersive experience that is equal parts restorative and luxurious.

Very nice, highly recommend. Would definitely come back again.

Generally is good but 1-2 staff is not polite

Good location with great environment. Dinner buffet is good; same goes to breakfast buffet.

Quality of hot spring is good

Strong suggested.

I really live this resort. Soooooo amazing. I am very glad we stayed here after 10 days of trip around Japan and we consider this luxury hotel as our gift tp ourselves by pampering through their beautiful onsen. I love our room and all their amenities. Their pillow gallery is out of this world and the only hotel that offered me this service. I will definitely be back here next time and will stay much longer!

Best hotel👍👍👍

Overall a good experience.

Tasty food, excellent services

非常不錯的温泉度假酒店，湖景優美自然宜人，是一個安安靜靜享受温泉♨️的地方。攜程定的套餐早晚都是自助餐，雖然種類很多也很新鮮，但是天天在一樣的地方吃一樣的東西，也是回膩的。所以在那裡呆一晚就夠了。酒店的服務很規範很禮貌，但是好像主要是針對日本人的，碰到外國人就衹能是敷衍了事了。酒店裡明明有另外二個不是自助餐的餐廳，但是一概拒絕套餐客人享用，就是加錢也不行，好沒有道理。總之一個不錯的酒店，有優惠活動價的話可以來一下。

服務態度好，餐食豐富營養健康美味，環境幽雅舒適宜人，孩子們非常喜歡👍這次沒有SPA有點遺憾，下次肯定會再去的

還蠻喜歡的 吃的也好吃，環境也很好，還約了按摩，yyds 機場巴士也不錯，都很方便，服務業也很nice 温柔喔。

看到了支笏湖秋天的模樣，吃到了酒店高品質的自助餐，説實話，原本知道不是定食時還有小小的疑慮，飽餐一頓後，十分滿意！
