Hot Spring Lodge Daiichi is located in Hokkaido's Shibetsu District, and offers pleasant accommodations with on-site open air onsen facilities. One of the best things about a stay here has to be the food on offer, which is plentiful and delicious.
Dinner was served kaiseki (multi-course) style and featured a range of different local produce, with seafood being a staple in many of the dishes. Breakfast involved a buffet with Western options like french toast and cereal, through to Japanese offerings including sashimi and pickled vegetables.
During breakfast there's also a mochi pounding event held in the lobby area, where you can attempt to pound the mochi yourself. It's then served up for guests to enjoy.
