Overview
The airport bus stops at the front door. The South Exit of Obihiro Station is one minute away, so both airport and rail journeys finish beside Hotel Nikko Northland Obihiro.
That combination is especially welcome with luggage or in winter weather. Full-service dining, event rooms, and a range of room sizes add substance to the transport convenience, though exploring wider Tokachi still requires a separate plan.
Rooms
The 171 rooms draw on Scandinavian home design, with pale wood and colorful textiles. Singles start at 18.2 square meters, while most doubles and twins measure either 22.1 or 27.2 square meters. Twin B rooms can accommodate a third guest, and connecting rooms give small groups more flexibility without requiring a suite.
Superior rooms occupy the 10th and 11th floors and feature upgraded bedding with Simmons pocket-coil mattresses. Views depend on room category and direction, but some look across Obihiro toward the Hidaka and Daisetsu mountain ranges. The junior suite measures 54.6 square meters, while the top-floor suite extends to 81.6 square meters.
Facilities
A laundry corner comes in handy on longer Hokkaido trips. Drivers can use the underground garage or the outdoor Obihiro Station East parking area for 600 yen per night, with the hotel rate applying from 2:00 PM until noon the following day. The spaces accommodate standard passenger cars, not trucks, trailers, or minibuses.
Meeting and banquet facilities range from small private rooms to the large Northland Hall. They support conferences and formal events without defining the experience for overnight guests.
Dining
Restaurant J serves the Tokachi Morning Buffet from 6:30 to 10:00 AM. Hokkaido and Tokachi ingredients shape the spread, with local milk, regional cheese, and butadon giving breakfast a clear sense of place.
Dinner at Restaurant J is available from 5:30 to 9:00 PM, with Japanese, Western, and Chinese choices. Aurora offers a quieter lobby-lounge setting for drinks or sweets. Guests can also visit the self-service TOKACHI Tasting Bar, where a coin issued at check-in provides a sample of regional wine or sake.
Location and transport
The Obihiro Station Area brings JR trains, buses, taxis, hotels, and downtown restaurants together in a compact part of central Obihiro. The hotel's one-minute distance from the station's South Exit keeps arrivals and departures simple.
Limited express trains on the Nemuro Main Line connect Obihiro with Sapporo and Kushiro, which helps at either end of a cross-Hokkaido rail journey. Tokachi's gardens, hot springs, and farms lie beyond central Obihiro. Reaching them usually requires a bus, tour, or rental car.
Airport access
Direct shuttle buses between Tokachi-Obihiro Airport and central Obihiro stop in front of the hotel. The trip generally takes about 35 to 50 minutes, depending on the service and traffic, with no transfer required at Obihiro Station.
Check the current timetable before an early flight or late arrival. The stop is directly outside, but service times matter more here than they would for city rail.
Why stay here
Flights, late trains, and early departures are easier when the airport bus and JR station are both at the hotel's doorstep. Restaurant J, varied room sizes, paid parking, and the tasting bar make the stay more substantial than a bare overnight stop.
Obihiro is also a starting point for Banei horse racing, butadon, Tokachigawa Onsen, and the gardens and open countryside of Tokachi. These experiences are spread across the city and region, so the station-side location solves arrival logistics rather than placing every attraction within walking distance.
Good to know
Check-in begins at 3:00 PM, and checkout is at 11:00 AM. Breakfast is limited to staying guests, so include it with the room or confirm whether it can be added after booking.
The TOKACHI Tasting Bar is also reserved for hotel guests. Its selection can change, and additional tasting coins are available for purchase at the front desk.
