MASATOSHI ICHIKI
5/5
When I was looking for a place to stay in Teshikaga, I found one that was close to the shores of Lake Kussharo and had access to hot springs. I was really looking forward to finding an accommodation that I liked.When we arrived at the inn near the Wakoto Peninsula of Lake Kussharo, it was raining lightly, but it gave us a unique atmosphere that made us excited.This seems to be a popular hot spring where one person comes for a day trip, and one person came after that.When I entered the building and called out to him, the owner greeted me.I told him that I would be taking care of him today, and after receiving an explanation of the accommodation from the host, I entered the room.When I entered the room and relaxed, it felt so comfortable that I felt like I was at my grandma's house in the countryside.I went out to eat dinner, but the open-air bath I took at night was really comfortable and had a great atmosphere.I woke up early in the morning and took a morning bath in the light rain, but I was able to enjoy the morning view from the open-air bath. I was healed by the scenery.Your husband will give you coffee after you take a bath! As I was having a great time drinking coffee and talking about various things with my husband, a squirrel came to the feeding area that I could see through the window and started eating sunflower seeds.I hurriedly took a photo and called everyone over to take a photo.I was very moved.Thanking the couple for such a memorable event, I left the hotel after seeing them off.

THE handmade open-air bath. 400 yen for a day trip.I can do this even if I am not connected to the phone. (I was doing it)For people who don't mind insects or fallen leaves.There's shampoo! There are no showers, so I just drink hot spring water in a tub.

An inn located on the shore of Lake Kussharo. I used it as a drop-in bath. Since we were in the snow, the temperature of the water was a little low depending on where we were in the bathtub, so it took a while for it to warm up, but if you soak in the hot water slowly, your whole body will be warmed up. It is also located in the forest, so you can soak in the hot water while looking out at the nature in front of you. It's cold in the changing room, but there's a wood stove, so if there's a fire going, it might not be that bad.

Well, it's like this.There are many hot springs that have a handmade feel to them.It has the same rustic feel as Niseko Golden Onsen.I forgot, but there are regular holidays, so please check.

5/5
The atmosphere is really good considering the location and building feel, which is a little hard to understand.To begin with, the Kussharo Lakeside area is dotted with hot springs of various sizes, making it a sacred place for hot spring lovers.Among them, this inn with a maniac aura is very nice.The building itself has been around for quite a few years, so it has a mountain hut style, or rather a real retro feel.Lamps and bare light bulbs look better than fluorescent lights and LEDs.Although it is a hot spring, there is no shower in the indoor bath, only a tap, and water comes out (I wonder if the water will become hot if it is kept running?)Shampoo and body soap are provided in both indoor and outdoor baths.The open-air bath is not accessed from the indoor bath, but is located in a hut-like area after getting dressed and exiting through the back door (?).There is a wood-burning stove here, which helps with the heavy cold of Teshikaga in the winter.It's an open-air bath, but as other reviews have said, it's quite large.It's not a bathtub made of rock or wood, but rather...a simple, unsexy bathtub that looks like a koi farm! It is a structure.But that's good!It strangely matches the surrounding nature and is calming.The host is friendly and has a great personality, making this an inn that you will want to stay at again.

Just looking for hot water. Simply face the source.The bathroom is a bath only. There's no shower. Oh, there are buckets, body soap, and shampoo. That’s it! Just 400 yen. Whatever, I like it.

Accommodation on Hokkaido TourA kind father will welcome you.It said that Wanchan would welcome us, but he said he went to heaven two years ago, so there was only a hut.The room is large and cleanThe futon is fluffy, but there is no air conditioner.It's hard not having air conditioning in Hokkaido now.For dinner, I ate pork bowl in the town of Teshikaga, came back, took a bath, and just turned on the fan.Drink a cold beer!You can put your name in a bag and put it in the refrigerator.I want to sleep but it's so hot I can't sleepIf you open the window, insects will come in.I kept repeating ``It's hot'' and ``I'm sleepy'' and fell asleep without realizing it.Wake up after 6 o'clock, take a refreshing bath and go outBest accommodation with air conditioningThat's the only regret
