Cottages in Shibetsu District

"Relatively spacious, well appointed rooms. Just make sure you ask for soft pillows!"

"The hotel was typical rural Japanese, the showers are shared in the onsen area (no en suite). Breakfast was served to you but was really typical Japanese (don't expect western food here)."

"I enjoyed my stay. Having access to a kitchen was great, the staff were friendly (even offered me some soba noodles one morning) and the sea view from my window was great. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, as was the chair I was sitting in to work for a bit. There are stairs in this property (no lift) so it may not work for everyone. "

"Service was wonderful. Person who checked us in was very understanding of my limitations in the Japanese language. His English was very good. Very welcoming atmosphere."

"Great view over Lake Kusharo"

"It was close to the national park. I loved the vibe of the small town, rooms were dated but clean. Added to the ambience of the town. The onsen was nice. Parking was easy. Close walk to everything."

"The shower head should be replaced and hot water was just luke warm."

"Good views from the room. Clean. Friendly staff."

"Beautiful hotel! The free drinks are helpful any time of day (alcohol only in the afternoon and evening). The onsen is well worth a visit: go at 7pm as it's very quiet while people are eating. "
