Recommended for those who want to stay comfortably and at an affordable price.It has the feel of a guesthouse, like your parents' home, but it's not sloppy. I was able to spend my time leisurely.

I couldn't sleep because of the noise from the air conditioner in the room.Also, the next day, the snoring from the next room (a foreign man) was bothersome because there was only one wall...Before I knew it, I was sightseeing on a lack of sleep.I felt that I needed to learn about guesthouses and understand them before staying there.

The water in the common areas is clean. The shared living room is easy to relax in, and the collection of books is tasteful, making it comfortable even when the space is stagnant due to bad weather. On a motorcycle trip, he takes the initiative to guide me to a covered space and even provides support so that I don't get stuck. (Although space is limited) The remote island ferry terminal is also nearby, making it convenient for crossing to Rishiri and Rebun. . Close to restaurants and supermarkets, and fully equipped with cooking utensils and tableware for self-catering. They also provide food and drinks. As additional information, there was a sika deer eating weeds on the gravel road next to the guesthouse. Although it is a core urban area, it is like Nara Park. There are buildings around, but I feel like people are familiar to some extent.

It's close to the station, clean, and reasonably priced. There are about 10 parking spaces, which I thought was very convenient.I would also like to use it when I come to Wakkanai.It's close to the Heartland Ferry Terminal, so I thought it would be a good place to stay before or after your trip to Rishiri or Rebun Island.

The free coffee was delicious because you could grind your own beans. The common spaces and other furnishings are stylish, but the guests were not just ordinary people who were touring and were talking to each other, so it was fun. I started reading the hunting journal ``I Want to Catch Mountain Whales'' that was on my bookshelf and found it interesting so I bought it. I was surprised to learn that the young An-chan (who looked like one) who was at the reception was the owner of the guesthouse and the author.

This was my third stay here, and I was able to order dinner, so I ordered the deer shabu-shabu, rice, and miso soup set, and I was very satisfied. Next time I would like to order another menu.
