This is a long-established inn that has been in business for nearly 50 years.The cost is 9000 yen for 1 night and 2 meals, and payment can only be made in cash.The meals are large, probably because there are more workers staying there. Dinner is Japanese cuisine, with a focus on dishes using seafood.The room is made of wood, has tatami mats, and has a TV. Kushiro is cool even in the summer, so there is no air conditioning.Perhaps because the walls are thin, you can hear some noise from the next room and the hallway.It's close to the station, so you can take a walk, and it was a comfortable stay overall.

Accommodation fees are paid in advance! We recommend that you think carefully before checking in. Prepayment will be collected for consecutive nights! You will first have to pay at the door and then be shown to your room! !It was an old, musty inn that felt like it had been left behind in a hotel near Kushiro Station. Despite the staff at the tourist information center telling me that I should go straight behind the station, I got lost, and when I called, the old proprietress of the inn complained, "You're late," and checked in. did. ``Can I stay for two nights?'' I asked, and as soon as I was standing at the door, ``I'll pay in advance!'' She glared at me with a scary look on her face as she salted the greens, like a caterpillar being sprinkled with salt. I was taken aback by the bossy attitude of this old landlady, but after paying the bill, I was shown to my room. The moment I entered, I smelled cigarettes! I thought so, but the festival was already on. There was a sign on the wall saying "No smoking in the room🚭", but the wall was covered in tar. It wasn't clean, the windows didn't open, and although it was hot in the summer, there was no electric fan, and there was only one broken fan.There was a hot water server in the hallway, and I didn't know how to use it, so I took the plunge and asked the old landlady, who told me to lend it to her. She made me some coffee that I had brought with me, but when it overflowed so much that it almost ran out, all she said was, ``The tatami mats have just been replaced, so please don't overflow the coffee.'' The tatami mats had just been replaced and looked like they were worn out and peeling, but I managed to drink carefully without overflowing.I was so scared of the creepy old landlady who seemed to be scrutinizing the customers from above, so I ended my stay in Kushiro early. (because there was none) I left.I now understand why Sumire Ryokan was the only one with vacant rooms. By the way, I asked people who live in this neighborhood about their reviews. It seemed difficult to answer, but he gave me a sympathetic look and asked, "Are you staying the night?" 😱I wonder if the hot water in the bath is not changed? I was supposed to take a bath, but there was hair and dirt floating around so I decided to just take a shower.The toilet was always clogged and wouldn't flush.Although I don't mind the inn, which has been left behind due to development and is likely to receive an eviction order, I thought to myself that the elderly couple here could be more kindly treated.When I left on the second morning, I was asked to leave the key and leave. The promise that someone would always be there when I came back was a complete lie, and I couldn't go into the room for a while because there was no one there. 🙀We had a hard time because the refrigerator was turned off and we couldn't use it, and we didn't know how to use the Showa era TV.I stayed for a while in a room with moldy futons and a room where I felt like I was going to get heatstroke, and then I left Kushiro. Will this inn still be there next time I come to Kushiro? 🤔

I took care of you a while ago on a business trip. I think I stayed there for about a month. Breakfast and dinner were amazing. Personally, I'd rate it in my top 5. For bathing, my mom kindly introduced me to a nearby hot spring. Also, if I have a chance, I would definitely like to go ❣️.

A valuable inn near Kushiro Station.The equipment is old, but seems to be well maintained.There is a parking lot for 2 or 3 cars in front of the inn.

Yes, we didn't realize it at that time. It all started the moment I arrived at that inn...I ended up staying at that one inn that day, and as soon as I arrived, I was breathless. Unspeakable complaints were thrown at me, and I cried in the corner of the sour room.Every night, I could hear the voices of fairies coming from behind the thin walls. Maybe it was still time then.
