“Quiet comfortable stay.”

The owner is super friendly and helpful! He made sure we were set for the evening with many suggestions for eating out and activities. The futon beds were very comfortable. The place was a bit 'tired' but roomy enough for two. A few minutes away from town but quick by car. Right beside the road up to the crater from the 2000 eruption of Mt Usu.

“This hotel would be very recommended.”

Mr. OHNO is a nice and kind owner, and the room is clean and comfortable. He offered me the necessary and extra help in my trip this time.

the owner is so kind, he gives you advice and he helps you in any way he can

“Most excellent”

“Highly recommended for the value and presence of Hide-san”

Hide-san went above and beyond to pick me up and drop me off within the area as the hotel is a bit far from the JR station and the lakeside. The room is also neat and comfortable.

This is a comfortable room

“Really lovely - would love to return one day!”

The host was very kind and helpful - regularly offered to give lifts to town or the train station to compensate for the remote location.

“Couldn’t be more thankful to the host, nice stay”

The location is a bit far from the city area but can be arrived by bus. Would be perfect for car drivers but the host Hide san was incredibly helpful. He offered the onsen ticket, fetched me back after the firework show. He even gave me a ride to Sobetsu park (which had the most stunning view in my Toya Lake trip) and Uzusan Ropeway. The room was cozy and clean, typical Japanese apartment. The surrounding was quiet and tranquil.

We had the most wonderful time. 5 very comfortable nights, beaut location, drive/walk to the lake, nice drive to Rusutsu. The beds were very comfortable and the host was amazing. The accomodation was very cleaned and serviced daily. Cannot wait to visit again soon!

Extremely friendly owner, he even left all of us some food for a night! Room service was great, gave us new towels, etc. and cleaner the room.

“Great place”

Cute little place with Japanese style rooms. The male owner was so friendly! We will definitely be back the next time we come for boarding in Rusutsu

“Great owner”

2 futons were on the ground floor while 1 futon was on the mezanine floor, which can only be accessed by a ladder. Not recommended for elderly people to climb up but for our group it was okay. Owner was very nice and helpful, giving recommendations of food and answers any questions that we ask about the place. he also gave discounted Onsen tickets, free drinks and even took a polaroid photo for us when we were leaving!

“Exceptional”

The facilities in the stay were very convenient. The host is very friendly and offered to pick us up from Toya Lake after the fireworks show even though we have 10 people in the group. The host also offered recommendations for local restaurants.

spartan but spacious

Big room, simple, clean, nice to have separate toilet from bathroom. Host gave us information about nearby restaurants and told us about the fireworks show at night.

Really liked the owner, who was genuinely friendly and helpful throughout. Room was really quiet and it's easy to get to town and back.

“Not good not convenient not recommended”

Location is far, not suitable for traveller without car, also not suitable for senior who can’t climb.

“Great value and kind owner in a silent neighborhood”

The owner was waiting for us at the exact time we told him we'll arrive. We got sweets and discount tickets to onsen. I was amazed by that onsen hotel, Infinity rooftop pool, it was fantastic. We had a car, the lake and shops are in a 3 min drive. The hotel is quite old, but everything was good. Clean bed sheets, warm, bright, no smoke smell in the room, silent at night. We were travelling with a 1 year-old toddler, it was safe for her too. There is a loft in the room, we did not use it.

“Best receptiveness in a Japanese hotel so far”

I had a very nice reception by the owner. When I arrived, I was given a full package of Japanese snacks. He then offered to give me a lift to the lake, to eat in a restaurant (as there are none close to the hotel) and to watch the daily fireworks. After the fireworks, he gave me a lift back to the hotel. Because I am travelling by bicycle, on the following day he gave me an isotonic for my bike trip around the lake. And on the day I left, he gave me some sushi and an energetic for the trip. So these small demonstrations of receptiveness really captivated me and to me they are more important than the utmost comfort of a 4 or 5 star hotel.

The owner and his family are so friendly and helpful! They even picked me up after watching the fireworks on my first night. If you like the countryside and are looking for a nice mountain area near the lake, this place is ideal. Definitely wanna come back, thanks so much!!!
