“Feels like visiting my grandparent's home, cosy and warm.”

Homely guesthouse owned by an elderly couple, mainly managed by the wife. Mrs Imodango is very welcoming and warm, making sure we are comfortable during our stay. Although common area is small, it makes it easier to connect with other guests to exchange travelling tips and stories.

I had a single room for myself for the two nights of my stay, and could have my laundry done.

“Relaxing place.”

The host is really friendly,just like your mama. She will give you any help. The view above the farm is also great. Very relaxing place.

What a wonderful host, helped me with bicycle issues, drove me to the freight company to ship some of my luggage, then drove me to the station to make sure I could get a ticket with my bicycle. Very kind lady, please consider staying only 10 mins drive out of town 😀

Rustic, homely vibes. Farmhouse guesthouse that was situated away from Abashiri main town center. Clean and cozy, and I enjoyed the futon style beds in the attic, but there were also private room options.

“Perfect and peaceful. Loved the place.”

Location is perfect to get away from everything. Rural and peaceful. Wonderful little place. Friendly owners who had local suggestions. Make sure you have a car and drive around Abashiri. So many museums to go to! Loved sleeping in the attic loft space with futon beds. Perfect for a change of pace. Definitely coming back.

“Great budget accomodation”

Great atmosphere, lovely staff

“Lovely low-budget place to stay”

Nice atmosphere.

Nice comfy and clean place to stay. Lovely host and good vibes in the kitchen. Would recommend

“Beautiful and cozy stay!”

It is very remote (15-20min walk from Masuura station) on a hill overlooking the Shiretoko mountains and the sea below. You sleep in the attic of an old farmhouse that you share with other people. Important to know: There‘s no food or meal provided, you have to bring your own. It is ideal to relax and recover. A very scenic and beautiful area with a lot of culture to see in Abashiri (Abashiri Prison, Hokkaido Museum of Northern people, Drift Ice Museum).

The place is very cutely decorated and set in a nice locale. I rented a room with friends, and it felt cozy. The amenities were good, there was also coffee.

I liked all of the cute knick knacks, and the staff were kind and drove us to the konbini so we could get dinner for the price of 500 yen.

Felt my grandparents house very cosy.

“Friendly , helpful , clean”

Atmosphere and , going out of their way to help .

Friendly atmosphere and staff. Comfortable stay in general. Quiet place too, due to it being in a farm.

“Wonderful last minute booking with very helpful host”

Booked last minute and had a wonderful if too short stay! The host was very helpful and nice, even with a slight language barrier. The room was comfortable and came with yukatas (which no other hostel style place on our trip provided!).

The master was kind, and the price was cheap.

Superfriendly hosts, great location, comfy beds and wonderful atmosphere with fellow travellers.

Very cute place! The owners are nice!

“Beautiful location, amazing hosts.”

It might be a little hard to access by walking, but the location is really beautiful, so as long as you can plan around the bus schedules, I think it's really worth the effort (beware, Google Mpas doesn't seem to have the most up to date schedules, I'd suggest asking in Abashari's tourist office about them). The hosts were really friendly, and they made an effort to make conversation and suggestions about what to see in the area. They also offered a ride to Abashiri JR Station the day of my check-out, free of charge. The house interior is full of little figurines, pictures and paintings, and the pastures outside offer a great view, you really feel surrounded by nature. I'm really glad I was able to spend a couple of days here :)
