“The hosts were very warm and welcoming, and have been kind enough to give me rides to the station daily. Thank you!”

The walk to the guesthouse is a tad bit dangerous during the night, and there’s no bus service. I would recommend talking to the owner to pick you up!

Nice and quiet place to stay. It is a bit far from the station, but we could see the drift ice from the window. I also enjoyed the home cooked food.

For the price you pay you do get a full room for your own and not a dormitory. Considering I am staying in Abashiri in a peak Ryouhou (ice) watching season, the value for money is unrivaled.

Excellent stay. Clean room, value price. I shall come again

“Old but nice”

A very cute bnb that’s been running a long time. It’s in a beautiful spot on top of a hill with a great hill. Very clean and although old, it had everything we needed.

Beautiful place and great staff. I had a nice stay.

“Great house but a little far from downtown.”

1.The owner is really kind! 2.Though the house is a little old, but very comfortable and made me sleep so well. 3.The owner treats his house very well! 4.The house is really clean! 5.The view and the atmosphere make people relax.

“Don't stay in summer unless on very tight budget!”

None

“Great place to stay to save money and for solo traveling with accommodating hosts!”

This is a great spot for solo travelers! I was very comfortable and felt safe. The staff were extremely kind and generous. They offered me rides or wanted to help me with my transportation because the guesthouse was far from the main city. I would often walk, so I didn't need a ride, but it's great how attentive they are to my needs.

the owner was very nice and the meals cooked was exceptional

“Relaxing Stay”

This is a traditional Japanese hostel. The male and female dormitories, toilets and bathrooms are on different floors. The dormitory had 5 beds, but there were only 2 of us staying. The hostel has shared toilets and a shared bathroom, the bath is huge but you can just shower if you choose. Dinner is served at 6pm and breakfast at 7am in a large dining room. For dinner we had udon, tempura and all you can eat curry rice. The food was delicious. The dining room is a communal space outside of meal times. There is a vending machine that sells alcoholic as well as soft drinks in the lobby. Shoes are removed upon entry. The owners are friendly. This would be great place to stay if you're going on the early drift ice cruise, it's only a 10 minute drive from the cruise boarding point.

The view

The hosts are friendly.

The owner was friendly and helpful. The room was warm and comfortable There was a stunning view of the sea and distant mountains The room was very good value

“Great Value accommodation”

The Staff are incredible, so friendly and sweet. Doesn’t speak much english but will always try to help you out.

“Great value for money”

Beautiful location and kind hosts. It is a bit of a walk from the station, but the location is beautiful, so it didn't bother me, and they offer to give you a ride to and from the station when you check-in/out if you need it. I was only able to stay one night when I was there, but would definetly try to stay for longer next time I'm in the area.
