4/5
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.

The crab rice was voluminous and very delicious. The fluffy homemade bread for breakfast was also delicious.The early morning tour was also fun, and I would like to take a canoe tour next time.

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.

I'm usually dominated by my smartphone, but the reception was so bad that I was able to spend a peaceful night without using my smartphone.The hallways and rooms were lined with nostalgic manga and magazines about hometown tax donations in Hamanaka, so time passed quickly.Next time I'll order sea urchin for my hometown tax payment.For dinner, I chose the oyster course.There were 6 oysters in total, 4 types of seasoned oysters and 2 fried oysters, and I was very satisfied.Everything was delicious, but the kelp soup was especially memorable. Is the seasoning limited to the kelp soup stock?The only thing that bothered me was that I wish I could take a shower in the morning, but I guess it's still difficult. .At other guesthouses, showers were only available at night.It's selfish of me, but I don't feel refreshed unless I take a shower in the morning.However, it was a very satisfying stay.I would like to stay here again when I visit Hamanaka again.Thank you very much for your time.

Three people used it on a trip from Canada to eastern Hokkaido.The owner was very kind and made us a Hanasaki crab plan for two people.I had another sika deer dinner prepared for my friend who can't eat seafood.The venison was said to be very delicious.Both the Hanasaki crab and breakfast were delicious.In particular, the crab rice and breakfast bread and milk left a lasting impression on me.The atmosphere of this inn is stylish,You can see the sunrise and the Pacific Ocean from your room.When I was eating breakfast, I saw all kinds of wild birds flying by.It was wonderful.Thanks to the owner and his wife who gave us information about wild animals,We were able to see sea otters and seals.It's a pity that I didn't have time this time,If I have a chance, I would like to join the owner's guided tour!We stayed in this cozy lodge in Eastern Hokkaido in February 2024.The meals were amazing especially the ‘Hanasaki crab’ and the deer meat ordered by my friend.We had an unforgettable stay here, and can’t wait to visit again. We will definitely join the guided nature tour by the owner next time!

I stayed at this inn while traveling alone in eastern Hokkaido.The food was very delicious, and I don't remember the last time I had such a delicious and luxurious meal. A herd of deer coming from your room in the evening? family? In the morning, the view of the sunrise, the sea, and the newly fallen snow was amazing.I would like to use it again when I go to Kiritappu.It was a happy time to be able to spend a quiet day alone.

I used it for consecutive nights. I asked for a tour to photograph owls and flying squirrels, and I visited 9 points and was able to photograph owls at 4 of them. That's an amazing probability. Over 300kmWe had them drive, and when we arrived at the point, they inspected the snow while rasping. It may seem easy, but it's a lot of effort. It was a tour where you could feel the attention to detail in every detail, such as checking toilet time and observation times. I'm also thinking of asking for a guide in the winter.

I searched for a hotel in Akkeshi or Hamanaka that served typical Hokkaido food, and decided to stay there because I was told they would serve game food.On the way there, it was late and the sun had set, but I saw a lot of deer on the way, so I had to be a little careful when driving.All the game meat was delicious, but I was embarrassed to say that I couldn't tell what kind of meat it was. The person I went with was a chef, so while I was eating, I was given explanations such as "This is a deer, this is a sheep, etc.", but I thought it would be nice to have some kind of explanation.The milk and bread served at breakfast were exquisite.When I looked outside the hotel after the sunrise, it was a wonderful place with a beautiful view of the ocean. Instead, it was pitch black and scary at night...There aren't many accommodations in this area, so it's difficult to find one, so I hope you'll use this as a reference.

There is a lack of knowledge and the number of wildlife sites.postscriptYou casually boast that you've been watching wildlife for 20 years, but I've been watching wildlife for 50 years.I work as a mountain guide and wildlife guide, and am also involved in the national and prefectural RDB.Unfortunately, there was a hint of arrogance in his customer service, which made me doubt his quality as a guide.Looking at your blog, it seems like you have an aggressive personality.In today's world, what kind of behavior would it be like to suddenly become argumentative towards a guest while you're having dinner?I apologize for the comparison, but the owner of Pension Porch was very friendly and it was the best accommodation.

The building was made of wood and was very beautiful!For our meal, we had game meat and seafood (crab). It was very delicious.In the morning, there were birds visiting the window and I was able to enjoy an elegant breakfast!There is a bath, but I took the opportunity to go to a nearby hot spring called Yuyu.
