The male owner was blunt, but actually kind, and more than anything, the accommodation felt like a pension. Cat Momo-chan, Shiba Inu is so gentle and cuteThe only downside is that it smells like old wood when you lie down on the bed, but I recommend it to those who are not sensitive and want to relax quietly on vacation! Be careful that the road to the accommodation is dark after 6 o'clock. The location is a bit vague.Indeed~~! Be sure to eat 500 yen for breakfast. Prepare cash on the day.thank you for the good memories

The price is cheap and the owners are really friendly and friendly. I liked the breakfast they prepared in the morning because they cooked it themselves and it felt like home-cooked Japanese food. The price is good at 500 yenThe cats and dogs are so cute, and the visitors chat with each other. I, as an I, enjoyed drawing and peeling the leaves at the table and chair on the veranda. I want to come again next time. It was so nice to have a bathtub.

It's a clean little hotel with a lot of taste and a lot of books. Although it's small, it seems to have a lot of rooms. It's better than expected. It's much better than in the photo.

I am a backbacker with a charm in Otaru.I have a dog and a cat, which is nice.The breakfast was good, and a person from Tokyo prepared the food when I was there, and it was delicious.The owner seemed to have a bit of an otaku personality.
