I stayed overnight late at night. I arrived on foot from Biei station. The room was well-cleaned, including the washbasin, bath, and kitchen in the common areas, so I had a comfortable stay. The price was reasonable at 6,600 yen without meals, and I would stay there again if I had the chance! ️

?! Debsho, a 5-star accommodationI made a reservation as an Airbnb.There were 3 people and we were told that we could choose between a private house or a 2-person bedroom + 1-person bedroom, so we used a 2-person bedroom + 1-person bedroom.It is divided into two buildings, the main building and a private building, but toilets and shower facilities are located only in the main building.It is a two-story facility with a dining room and shower facilities on the first floor, and the best part is that dogs are allowed.They don't provide breakfast, but you can eat freely, and you can also buy brunch or dinner.It was a really comfortable japchae accommodation. It is no exaggeration to say that it is almost like a business hotel, and although some people might find it inconvenient to have to use a shared bathroom, it was clean.The additional fee for a dog was about 3,000 yen (approximately 30,000 won) per day, and it is not allowed in the dining room. lol

At the time of check-in, it seemed like we didn't have a reservation, but the room seemed to be empty, so we were able to stay comfortably for the night. Since it's Hokkaido, most of the people are construction workers. I stayed in one of two bungalows along with my Hokkaido cycling bicycle. When I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I saw a sky full of stars. Although it was late July, it was quite cold compared to Osaka. It looks like it was rebuilt a few years ago and is a beautiful facility.Two days later, I received a call to confirm my reservation, but I told them that I had stayed there the other day by bicycle. I made the reservation over the phone, so there may have been a mistake. However, in the end, there were no problems and it was a comfortable stay with two meals a night.

It's located in a residential area near Biei Station, so there are no cars outside and it's very quiet, but depending on the manners of the other guests staying on the same day, it can get very uncomfortable.This time, I could hear the sounds of people taking baths in the middle of the night from the hallway, and the sounds of people walking on the second floor, so it was so noisy that I couldn't sleep.I can't help it to some extent because it's a guest house. .Although the staff seemed nice, it was quite disappointing.

The sound resonates anyway. Washing machine, shower, voices in the next room until midnight... The roll curtains are so weird that I feel like people will be able to peek in from the outside, so I don't feel at ease. Unless you have hair on your heart, you won't be able to rest here. If you look at the chair in the room like this, you can tell the level of the inn.

Worst stay of our trip in Hokkaido. Check in time is 4pm and check out time is 9 am. There is no provided towel and you need to rent them. We rent 2 towels and after the first night, they came in our room and took one used towel away without ever informing us. We thought we were renting towels, not paying 100 yen for each use? The sound proof is terrible. You can hear your neighbor snoring at 10 pm and people start using the public sink right outside of your room since 4:30 am in the morning. Good luck having a great sleep here. This was our first minshuku experience, and probably will be our last.

The floors and various noises that occur from time to time are not ideal. The strong sound of the hair dryer with no restrictions and no sound insulation is very disturbing! !
