When you think of Susukino, you think of the number one, no, the best entertainment district in all of Hokkaido. Whether you're visiting Sapporo for sightseeing or on business, you'll surely enjoy delicious food and drinks in Susukino at night. But did you know that right in the heart of this urban jungle, there's a spot where you can enjoy a natural hot spring?

"Premier Hotel -CABIN- Sapporo" is a hotel renowned for its authentic onsen facilities. And what's more, the breakfast is said to be delicious too. Hearing these rumors, I had to check it out for myself!

Premier Hotel -CABIN- Sapporo is conveniently located about a 7-minute walk from Susukino Station on the Namboku subway line, so you can enjoy the nightlife without worrying about the last train. It's amazing that it also features an authentic natural hot spring to soothe your tired body after a day of sightseeing or work. After all, Susukino is one of Japan's premier entertainment districts. What kind of onsen could you possibly enjoy in a place like this?


Upon visiting, the spacious indoor bath is immediately exciting. The water quality is a chloride spring. Moreover, it's an iron-rich spring, so you can see the water is cloudy with iron components. As you soak in the bath, you can feel its rich minerals slowly penetrating your skin. There's also a sauna in the same area, which will leave you feeling even more refreshed.


Believe it or not, there's also an open-air bath. Stepping outside, you can feel the presence of the adjacent buildings, which might surprise you and remind you that you are, in fact, in Susukino. Nevertheless, as you feel the breeze on your skin and look up at the sky, you can experience a sense of openness that's hard to believe you're in the city.

You can get a better feel for the onsen's atmosphere on our YouTube channel, "Howatto Yumeguri Hokkaido."




After soothing your fatigue in the natural hot spring and getting a good night's sleep, get your morning started with the breakfast buffet. There are about 60 different Japanese and Western dishes that change daily and monthly. The latest recommended menu items are updated on their Facebook page, so it might be fun to check it out before your visit.


Normally, the breakfast is also available to non-guests, but please note that due to the effects of COVID-19, it is currently only available to hotel guests (as of September 1, 2021). Also, the freshly cooked "Yumepirika" rice from Hokkaido (a special A-rank brand) and the Kattedon (a make-your-own seafood bowl where you can top vinegared rice with as much of your favorite seafood as you like) are very popular, but these are also currently served pre-made.


By the way, here's what the guest rooms look like (photo shows a semi-double). You can choose from seven types of rooms suitable for both business and leisure. The largest room is a "Japanese-modern type" that can accommodate up to four people, which is great for families.

Indulge in Hokkaido's gourmet cuisine in Susukino, then relax in a natural hot spring at a nearby hotel... Make this dream-like Sapporo stay a reality at Premier Hotel -CABIN- Sapporo.
