I really enjoyed all of the study resources about Ainu culture and how close the guesthouse was to the museums. I have limited Japanese ability, but everything went great! Iyayraykere!

It's pretty close to the train station- 5 minute walk. Coop mart is on the way from the train station to grab whatever you need. It's not directly in the heart of Kutchan, but Kutchan is a small place anyway. It's clean, calm, quiet, peaceful. Even sitting upstairs reading a book or being busy on laptop feels great. Ryo is super helpful, and cool.

The location was pretty decent. Very close to Odori Park and Susukino. We stayed in the 6 bed family room and it was a very nice bunk bed setup. The heater worked well and the showers/toilets were very clean.

My 4th time staying at their 2 properties here. Great location, clean rooms, tiny kitchen. That is all I need! It is also quiet, which is not the case for where I am staying now in Furano!

It was so close to the train station that I didn’t even need to look at the map! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. Everything you need is here, including Wi-Fi, a kitchen, laundry facilities, and more. Above all, the entire place is very clean, well-maintained, and designed with the comfort of guests in mind. If you need to stay in the Noboribetsu area (not Onsen area), look no further!

This was my first experience with hostels, and it was a great one! Comfy beds, clean, very nice staff AND an amazing breakfast. And the price was incredibly low.

Good location and walk by 10 minutes to arrive from Otaru JR station. Also close to channel and warehouse tourist areas. The reception staff is friendly and patience to introduce hostel facilities. Very nice to offer a welcome drink after check-in. The facilities are well equipped and the common area is large which makes me feel convenient and comfortable to stay. The bed is comfortable as well. Recommend for budgeted travelers to stay here when traveling to Otaru.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. Great modern facilities, plenty of space both in the room and common areas, nicely located near the main station and bus stops, nice prices for their rental bikes... and best of all, very helpful and welcoming staff. I recommend renting a bike and enjoying the mountain views while you explore the surrounding area. I'll definetly come back if I have the chance :)

The premises is a hostel that caters for skiers during Winter. We had the tatami beds in a private room and if we can cope aged 57 and 60 anybody can! It was the cheapest we could find but we enjoyed, aside from the cold showers, but it was cheap in comparison 😀

Probably the best hostel i’ve ever stayed at that i decided to write review for the first time. Super cosy lobby and spacious toilets (even bigger than hotel toilets in japan). The whole hostel was also spotlessly clean and organised which really impressed me comparing to other hostels i’ve stayed at.
