This was a bit expensive for us, especially as it is a hostel and a bit out of town (20 min walk), but it was actually very nice indeed. The superb onsen was absolutely lovely with sea view, there was a nice reception, the shared lounge was enormous with amazing view and there was easy parking. We had a nice meal out at a friendly (recommended) local restaurant. Shiretoke is a truly beautiful nature reserve and well worth a visit. We were happy we stayed here.

It is a nice property with outstanding views of the port. The bedroom was clean, comfortable, and ample for Japan standards. The staff is courteous and the pristine shared kitchen works well. In case you aren’t driving, note that it isn’t quite walking distance from downtown. Btw the GPS took me to a wrong address, by the port; actually the hotel is at the top of the hill. I totally recommend it.

Misleading pictures and description - beware!

About the hotel It is absolutely no ryokan but rather a huge resort with a dining hall for 200+ people, an onsen for 150+ people, an arcade games room, several shops inside the hotel, etc. It also seems that the hotel recently merged with sister hotel Wings which is just next door. Hotel room We were misled by the good reviews which referred to the main hotel. Unaware of the difference between the main and the sister hotel, we ended up in the “Wings” hotel where rooms could definitely use some refurbishment and renovation. Description mentions traditional furniture. Nice way to describe worn out furniture from the 1990s. Bathroom was tiny and the oldest we have seen over our 2 weeks of traveling in Hokkaido. TV had no internet connection and had even no HDMI port. The “Mountain View” was also an absolute joke. View was first on the parking lot, then the fire escape stairwell and yes you could see one ski slope in the background. Food Misled by the word ryokan we expected a dining experience of high quality with local ingredients and attentive service. Well nope. Dinner and breakfast is buffet style, where you have to hand in a ticket when you arrive. You are then escorted to your table and are free to choose between Japanese, Chinese, or Western cuisine. While options are not lacking, taste and freshness was however sadly missing. Overall it was a very disappointing experience and if in the area, we would recommend La Vista Akangawa hotel instead

Walls are thin. If you stay on the same floor with family with kids, then you can and will hear small children scream, cry or run throughout the nights. Not hotel’s fault but you cant escape those noisy issues.
