“Enjoyable stay with delicious food, attentive staff and a nice onsen.”
Really nice and expansive dinner as well as breakfast (washoku). To be able to taste various little dishes was very delightful. The staff spoke English to a very good degree and was very helpful. The onsen was soothing and quite hot - ideal for the cold winter.

“Great hotel to enjoy Utoro and the Shiretoko national park.”
Really friendly staff, and since we went in winter, waking up and seeing the ice in the sea in front of the hotel was a very nice sight.

“Wonderful stay with delightful meals by the sea”
The whole stay was wonderful, everything from the room through the onsen to the meals was perfect. The room was spacious and well equipped, large enough for two futon beds that were arranged while we had dinner, a small table and a counter with bar seats by the window (which had a lovely sea view). As for the food, we had dinner and breakfast which were both fantastic and comprised of several small dishes - cold plates, tempura , fried fish and more. We also used the private onsen and had great time.

“Perfect hotel for relaxing”
Stunning hotel, room was large and comfortable, in a great spot away from all the other hotels but not too far to walk to everything in town. Staff were wonderful and had good english which helped a lot. Dinner and breakfast were made with such care and used local fresh ingredients, especially the locally caught fish. Would come back for a longer stay next time.

It is right by the seaside, run by a diligent team, combining skillfully the Japanese hospitality traditions and the Western expectations.
