it was good. However, my honest opinion is that the food was more average than I expected. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed. When I say it's delicious, it's delicious.The bath is a home bath, and bath towels are provided as a service. Baths are reserved for each room, but if you stay in a row, there was hair floating in the bathtub that appeared to be from the person in the previous room, so this time I only used the shower. Water pressure is great. One thing to note is that the conversations in the lobby below could be heard through the beams and pillars in the rooms on the second floor, so if that bothers you, you may need to wear earplugs.

Thank you for staying with us for one night on October 2, 2024.I felt the effort put into maintaining and managing the log house. The entrance to the cafeteria was cut out with a chainsaw and you can see the authentic Canadian technique.Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. In particular, I was very satisfied with the taste of the bowl of Hanasaki crab.Although it was cloudy on the next morning's canoe tour, which was the main event of this trip, we were able to enjoy walking through the wetland without encountering any rain while listening to the owner's entertaining stories. On my previous canoe tour of the Kushiro River, both sides of the river were almost landlocked, but in Kiritappu, I felt more like I was walking through a peat-layered wetland. We also thank you for paying close attention to the safety of the elderly, including when getting on and off the train.The sea was rough at Cape Kiritappu, so we only saw one sea otter, but it was nice to see a fox as well.I arrived late the day before and it was dark, but as I approached the hotel, I saw a family of deer crossing the road, which scared me, but somehow they made it out safely.It was my first visit to Kiritappu, and I had a short but enjoyable stay, seeing sea otters, deer, and foxes.My only regret is that I failed to purchase the woodwork that was on display at the Kiritappu Wetland Center. .It was an inn I would like to stay at again if I had the chance.

I go to Hokkaido every year, and this year was my 7th time, but it was my first visit to Cape Kiritappu. It was scheduled for September 1st to September 5th. I had heard that Cape Kiritappu has a lot of fog and rarely clear days, but the day we went there was a truly beautiful sunny day.When I asked the owner's wife later, she said that it was rare for it to be this sunny.The main purpose of Cape Kiritappu was to see sea otters playing in the water, but unfortunately we only saw maybe one sea otter. When I asked the guy next to me who was using a large telephoto lens, he realized that the image he captured with his cell phone camera looked like a speck of sesame seeds. However, I saw a red fox really close up.Unexpectedly, due to my fascination with sea otters, I lost something and caused some worry to the owner, but thanks to the appropriate advice, I was able to enjoy the rest of the trip.The meals, both evening and morning, were really delicious, and the Hanasaki crab bowl was exquisite.It was nice that the room was also very clean.Thank you very much for the enjoyable trip.We will also include the sunset from Kiritappu.Also, if you have a chance to visit, I would like to share some funny stories about this accident with you.

On my third visit, I was finally able to experience early morning canoeing!Although it was foggy, it was quiet and I could only hear the sound of distant waves.It's a great experience to glide along the mirror-like surface of the water.It's done.Both the Hanasaki crab course and the game game course were delicious. What surprised me was that the room had an air conditioner!Next time, I would like to join the tour.

I went on a trip during the Obon holiday. I have traveled to eastern Hokkaido many times. The food at this inn is very delicious both in the evening and in the morning. I had the Nijin Hanasaki crab course, and it was cut into easy-to-eat pieces and the meat was firm, making it a good value. It looks like it was made by a couple. Although it was a little pricey, there was also an alcohol menu (including a cup of wine). As a traveler, I'm happy. The meals seem to have a good nutritional balance, which is great when traveling, where you tend to lack vegetables. This seems to be one of the major inns in Kiritappu Wetland. It's like a log house, cute and clean. There are only three groups staying, so it's quiet, and it has a nice atmosphere like an adult inn. Ma'am, it feels good. The host was a bit talkative and intimidating atmosphere for a moment, but he is also an adult. It's okay if you can cut it down. No free Wi-Fi, poor signal. Recommended for relaxing without worrying about this. I've been canoeing in the upper Kushiro Wetlands several times, so it's not very exciting, but I can see birds in the wetlands in the morning, so I feel like it might be worth it to experience it at least once. Sea otters were seen at Cape Kiritappu a few years ago, but not this year. It's luck. I would also like to see winter in eastern Hokkaido. (My parents from Miyagi also stayed at this inn on a trip to Hokkaido.)

The accommodation I was aiming for while passing by during a previous tour, the surrounding scenery and location are like an observatory. The meal goes well with Shiro wine, and the delicious Daimanjokku breakfast is like Serengeti with deer!! So five stars!!

I stayed there last fall and this winter. I visited both places using the JR Hanasaki Line. The scenery on the way from Kushiro to this inn is beautiful, including Lake Akkeshi, Beskanbegyu Wetland, Uguregi Island, Kiritappu Wetland, and the sight of wild animals (Sika deer, white-tailed eagle, Steller's sea eagle, red fox, red-crowned crane, etc.). I was captivated by the natural scenery of eastern Hokkaido. A herd of sika deer are relaxing around Kabanon's inn, and the sight of them grazing freely is very soothing. In autumn, we often heard the sounds of deer. I was very impressed with what a wonderful environment it was.The oyster dishes for dinner were arranged in a variety of flavors and were all shockingly delicious. In addition to oysters, there are so many other items that your stomach will burst. I had an oyster course both times because I couldn't forget the taste, but next time I would like to try the game game as well. The next morning, we had breakfast on the balcony while watching the birds that keep coming. The fluffy bread you toast yourself, fresh milk, omelets, and salads are all delicious and will wake you up.The room and bathroom were clean. The first time was at Yuyu, and the second time was at the hotel's bath. Yuyu went by community bus and it was fun too. The bathroom at the inn was also clean and comfortable.When we visited in winter, we were taken on an expedition tour to Mashu, Lake Kussharo, and Tsurui Village to observe flying squirrels, Ezo owls, swans, and red-crowned cranes.When observing flying squirrels in the evening, they waited patiently in the forest and only appeared for a moment, but I was happy when I was able to photograph them. The sound of the trees swaying in the wind, the ripples on the river in the wetland, the beauty of the sky gradually becoming colored by the setting sun, and the resounding chirping of the red-crowned cranes all refreshed my soul. I was very moved to actually meet an owl, and I was transfixed by its sleepy face as it snuggled into the tree's hollow. The swans on Lake Kussharo with the snow-capped mountains in the background looked very beautiful, giving the impression of a ``Swan Lake.'' We also met many red-crowned cranes along the way. I was surprised at how many things I could encounter. The flight of the red-crowned cranes was truly graceful.It's also nice that the inn is close to the Biwase Observation Deck. The morning walk just after sunrise was very pleasant, and I saw many herds of deer grazing on the hills.I had a very valuable time during my stay. thank you very much.

I've been interested in this place for a while, and this was my first time staying here. Since I was traveling alone, I stayed in a twin room for single use. We had a great time with a hearty meal at a reasonable price, and it's a great memory.When I asked for advice about where I wanted to go the next day, as I was worried about whether the time allocation would be correct as it was my first time there, they gave me accurate advice, and thanks to them I was able to get to my destination with plenty of time to spare. . I am very happy that you are supporting your travels with all your might, and I look forward to staying there again soon.
