It was a short walk from the bus terminal to the accommodation and it was exactly as pictured. We got there a little early but were able to stow our luggage there and rent bikes without any problems. There are also scooters to rent.The hosts were very friendly and we felt right at home. 😊We were immediately given some tips and discounted entry to the local onsen, which we were happy to use.The common room and the kitchen are beautifully furnished and invite you to linger.Unfortunately we only planned one night there, we would have liked to stay longer but we will definitely come back. I can definitely recommend the accommodation.

The property is an easy walk from the bus terminal and is exactly as shown in the pictures. The hosts are very friendly and we immediately felt welcome and at home. When you enter and discover the loving details, it exudes magic. In addition to many tips that you can get for the area (for example a wonderful onsen where you can even have tattoos), it is also possible to rent scooters and bicycles. Cooking in the accommodation was also child's play. If you want, you can chat with other guests in the common area (there are three rooms in total). Yuji & Kiki even helped us with our Japanese. Unfortunately, our travel plan only allowed us one night here. We would really like to come back ❤️ An absolute recommendation!

Lulu stay is a most wonderful Inn in Wakkanai. I was lucky to stay there for one night at the start of my bicycle tour through Japan. The hosts are really nice and helpful, and the room very clean and nice. Hosts helped me with many things, and they really gave me a fantastic start to to my journey in Japan. Highly recommended.

Thank you to the two hosts that accommodated for myself and Kyle! Our first AirBNB was absolutely worth it, and where better to than at LuLu Stay?! The hosts shared local places to eat (please check out the nearby eatery Aoitori for their popular salt ramen, the broth is delicious!) and sights to see.We loved the deer themed decor and the tatami mat experience is one we’ll never forget!Arigato 😀

I booked a twin room for 25,800 yen per night and stayed there without understanding the category of this facility.As a result, we ended up with a monster that had no toilet/bathroom and the only air conditioner was a fan.It was a top-class hotel in price, but it was a low-level guesthouse.There are inbound tourists who are willing to stay at this price, so the facility may have misunderstood the settings.I think it's a good guesthouse if the price is around 7000 yen per night.

Absolutely perfect little place.You'll stay in one of 3 beautiful tatami rooms on the second floor and sleep on nicely thick and warm futons. Available to all guests are: two toilets, a shower, a fully equipped kitchen and a big living room with plenty of space.The whole house is lovingly decorated and you'll feel right at home. The hosts are fond of the wild deer that sometimes wander through town and you can probably find a picture or figurine of one of them in every corner of the house.The host couple is super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We were recommended a great restaurant and also purchased tickets to the local onsen directly from them, saving us a couple yen. Lastly they have their own part of the house on the first floor so you can reach them right away if any questions arise.
