We will introduce the “Foreigner’s Popular Japanese Hotels Chosen by Travel Lovers!” ranking on TripAdvisor up to the top 10. Please note that this information is based on 2020 data and may be slightly outdated due to the impact of the coronavirus, but we will update the latest ranking as soon as new information becomes available.
*This ranking is based on TripAdvisor’s proprietary algorithm, which aggregates foreign language reviews of Japanese hotels posted from January 2019 to December 2019, using a five-point rating and number of reviews.

At Club Med, which offers all-inclusive packages, you can use gondolas, lifts, ski and snowboard schools without any additional charges. It’s also family-friendly because children can participate, and it’s a ski-in, ski-out resort, so you don’t need to bring your own skis.

summary
Looking at the popular rankings compiled by TripAdvisor, luxury hotels are lined up one after another.
In addition, Hokkaido hotels, which are praised for their snow quality by skiers around the world, are always ranked high every year.
Of course, high-end hotels have high-quality services, which leads to high satisfaction rates. However, foreigners tend to prefer high-end hotels with high-quality rooms, meals, and other services rather than cheaper ones.
In the future, our site will provide various information such as “hotels boasting hot springs,” “hotels where you can enjoy the beauty and atmosphere of a Japanese garden,” and “hotels where even vegans can stay with peace of mind,” so please look forward to it.
