It's seriously good. The food is amazing and the hot springs are wonderful.In particular, the way the grilled food was cooked was divine, and the crispy outside and juicy inside was truly amazing. Also, the seafood carpaccio and sashimi are delicious, and unless you don't like seafood, I'm sure you'll be satisfied. I felt like they were serving wild game because it's local, but the other dishes are amazing, so I recommend staying just for the food. Also, since it is a guesthouse, the prices are quite wallet-friendly.

Thank you for staying with us for one night during our trip to Shiretoko. This time I was alone so it was very quiet. I took a bath outside once, so I was worried that it would be difficult on a snowy day, but I took my time and enjoyed the free-flowing hot springs. We recommend the morning and evening meals, which are rich in variety and delicious, including venison, chicken ham, and seafood. My favorite was cherry tomatoes made with pesticide-free vegetables, which had a good balance of sourness and sweetness.

The owners, a lovely husband-and-wife duo, were incredibly nice, attentive and very helpfull. The weather was really bad (typhoon) and they allow us to check in before the time. The husband, who is also the chef, prepared an abundant and incredibly delicious meal for us. We enjoyed a variety of dishes, including kinki fish, ray, sashimi with octopus and white fish, a delightful salad with scallop, miso soup with eggplants, deer with a radish sauce, salmon eggs.... Every dish was a culinary delight, and it was impossible to pick a favorite—they were all really good. Additionally, the minshuku offers a private onsen for couples, adding to the overall experience. We enjoy a lot our stay, and I highly recommend this minshuku. Tks!!

We are happy to assist you at a very reasonable price. The building is a renovated private house with a dining room on the first floor, guest rooms on the second floor, and a separate bathroom.There is no air conditioner in the room, so either open the window or close the window.Since the air conditioner is running in the hallway, you can open the door and let the air from the air conditioner enter the room.The refrigerator on the second floor is fully stocked with cold water.When I stayed there, it was 30 degrees every day and it was very difficult.There are two baths, both of which are fed directly from the source. If it is not in use, you can take a bath with your friends or family.

2024.8 I used it during the Obon holiday. The food at this inn is absolutely delicious. As you eat, you can feel the owner's love for his food and for his guests.The skin of Kinki's grilled food is well-grilled and crispy, the vegetables are fresh, the dressing is homemade, the miso soup has a good stock, the rice is delicious, the sashimi is plump, and there's so much to choose from that I end up with seafood. I ate it in a bowl style.I was worried about staying at a buffet like the Shiretoko Daiichi Hotel, but I'm glad I chose this accommodation!

First of all, the way the landlady speaks in the past tense is addictive and interesting.The room has tatami mats and is not small for 2-3 people.There is no cooler in the room.It might be a little hard to sleep.The bath was a natural hot spring, and it felt great.There were two private rentals,I couldn't enter slowly because I felt like the next person might be waiting (actually, I don't think they were).The food I was looking forward to was delicious, as others have said! Sauteed venison is the best! The beer was a little loose (lol)I would like to use it again, but as a request,Window cooler installationBeer server installationVending machine installationI wonder if it's about that.

The private bath was very comfortable and wonderful. Also, the breakfast and dinner dishes were all luxurious and delicious. Different ingredients were used each day, and I thoroughly enjoyed each meal as a full course. The husband and wife were also very nice people, and they talked to me a lot and introduced me to some delicious sushi restaurants in Otaru. I would like to stay there again if I have the chance.
