There's only one bathroom for each gender in the hostel so it took sometime and lots of checking every time you hear a door open to get your chance to shower.

The hostel was in a big and beautiful wooden building and the room was larger than expected. There's a hotel nearby that allows day-visits to the public bath if it's something you're looking for. A great stop from/to shiretoko. Great view of nature and field right outside the room. Staff also had great suggestions for sightseeing places nearby.

The rules are very extreme. It’s A Lot. Make sure you check the rules before you stay. 1. You have to check in 16:00-21:30, no late check in, which is ok. 2. You are not allowed to stay in the house 9:00-16:00 no matter how many days you booked. 3. You can’t use anything in the house after 22:30, you must be quiet and sleep. Even they LOCK the toilet room!!! It’s crazy!!! But you can use everything after 6:00 in the morning. And remember you must leave after 9:00. 4. The staff look after you carefully about every move and everything you do in the house. 5. You are not allowed to bring trash into the house. 6. Limit amount of bathrooms and toilets. So many many rules, just be careful. It could be a really nice place without so many extreme rules.

It’s a big house, nice parking, nice view, nature water nearby, cute goat….since it’s not allowed to cook but the staff still helped us ( borrow us bowls etc) to make salad and miso soup.

A thicker mattress would’ve been great.

Very friendly, helpful staff. Clean and great views.

Common bath could need a clean, but is ok. Breakfast prices increased so not so good value for money, I would say.

Helpful staff. Close to Sakura Falls (salmon jumping), Kawayu Onsen and Shari.

No air conditioning. But we were there on an unusually hot day and the hosts provided us with plenty of fans etc to keep the room as cool as possible.

Very clean. Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Spacious communal areas. Good local knowledge and information.

No kitchen provided. Not public transport to go there. Just only drive your own car.

Big enough for living and common area.

The staff was almost over-friendly, I couldn’t be alone when I wanted to.

Cute hostel, felt like home. The staff was very friendly. I also got own room even though I thought it would be shared, which was nice!

On my first night it was too hot in the room, so if you feel hot, just ask for a fan. It's a bit far from Shiretoko, but very affordable

Owners are very positive and kind people. Nice and comfy house, tasty breakfasts, discount onsens. Very quiet rural location, just what you need to rest from cities

The traffic is inconvenient and the owner is uncomfortable.

The price is cheap.

The hosts werw intimidating and unfriendly. He was breathing down our necks especially when we were trying to prepare and reheat our food using the microwave which was the only available appliance that we were allowed to us. He kept reminding us to sort the thrash, it's annoying for us...as if we were that stupid. We overheard him grumbling loudly from our room. He was rude! We were not allowed to use the bathroom before 7 am whilst we had to make a move earlier than that. I seriously wouldn't recommend this place!

The scenery

The host was mean, and the room was sloppy.

The location is in the middle of nowhere.

The hotel has such beautiful surroundings with the view towards the sunset. My friend and I really enjoyed our stay here. The owners were so welcoming and friendly. There was a shuttle bus provided to take you to and from nearby restaurants and onsen, in case you are not comfortable driving at night time during winter. The room was very clean and warm. We will definitely come back next time when we return to Hokkaido.
