Luxury Ryokan in Hokkaido?
We're headed to Japan next May, and after our lovely stay at Gora Kadan last year (trip report), we were hoping to spend at least a night or two in a nice ryokan during our time in Hokkaido.
Does anything of GK's caliber exist up there?
I'd especially appreciate any thoughts on these from those who have stayed:

http://www.ginrinsou.com/ (Otaru)
http://www.kuramure.com/en/ (Otaru)
http://www.mizunouta.com/en/ (Lake Shikotsu)
(Insights on "regular" luxury hotels much appreciated, too. Not interested in private rentals or anything on the slopes...we're interested in places well-located to access Hokkaido's best hiking trails/other outdoor activities).
Thanks!

This I believe is one of the best Ryokans in Hokkaido. Rate ranges from ~70,000-100,000 depending on season.
