When this place was an inn, we often used it for banquets. Also, I stayed with my parents when the current hotel was being built. It's been 40 years since then? .The room was a twin room for one person, and it was clean and comfortable. There were a lot of small bowls for breakfast, and even though I'm on a diet, I ended up having a second helping of rice.They also served us coffee after the meal, and I felt that their serving style was 100 points.The employees greet each other politely and make sure to talk to each other.The hot springs seemed to come from the Noshap No. 1 source, which was soothing.I really liked it.

I used it on a Friday in August. The hotel facilities are old, but the room was clean and comfortable. The public bath and sauna felt nice, but the floor in the changing room was carpeted and damp, which made it uncomfortable, so I gave it 4 stars.

It was the tourist season, so I couldn't make reservations at my usual hotel, so this was the only one open. It's a bit old so I didn't have high expectations, but it's a very nice hotel. Especially if I arrived early, they let me check in early. I also like the hot springs. The front desk is very responsive and it's close to the downtown area. I will make a reservation next time.

I made a reservation with breakfast included, but due to various circumstances, I informed them at the time of hotel check-in if it was possible to change to not need breakfast, and they accommodated the change immediately. Although the hotel is old, it is well-maintained and the hot springs were pleasant! The best part was that the employees were very responsive and I felt comfortable using the service. It had the bare minimum of amenities, and it was a cheap and cost-effective accommodation.When I stayed there, they didn't offer curry service, but they did offer free coffee in the morning.I would like to use it again. thank you very much.

It is for business use.Normally this is a non-smoking room, but it was a twin smoking room.Of course, the room stinks and no matter what I do, I can't do it!All my luggage had a bad odor as well.It won't get cold at all in a refrigerator without a freezing function.Pillows are expensive and difficult to sleep on.

Room: Our family of four stayed in a Japanese-style room, with separate toilet and bath, and the room was spacious and comfortable.Bath: The quality of the hot springs was very good, and it was so good that I wanted to take a morning bath even if I had to rub my sleepy eyes.Overall: Honestly speaking, I think it would be more convenient if it was near Wakkanai Station...The hospitality and service of the hotel staff was very warm, and the breakfast and set meals had a large variety of items and were filling. I would love to stay again
