3-Star Hotels in Biratori

1st up you have to take your shoes off to enter, which is very annoying. 2nd there was no shower in my room only toilet and baisin. They told me I had to use public bath instead. I refused so I had to pay an extra 2,700 JPY to use private shower in another room. They told me restaurant stopped at 21:30, but it actually stopped at 20:00, luckily I got there just in time for dinner. The room also didn’t have a proper bed and I had to sleep on the floor “Japanese style” which was uncomfortable. The final straw was as I was checking out they asked me for more money for tax despite me pre-paying on Trip.com I didn’t argue as it was a small amount of money but considering the room rate was very high already and they made me pay extra for a shower it just seemed like 1 too many ways to rip me off.

It was very good to be close to Nifudani Kotan The story about the Ainu with the owner of the guesthouse and the craftsman at the facility where the staff of the Ainu crafts nearby gather are very interesting, and there are also materials about the Ainu in the guesthouse. I was fascinated by it. The guest house was clean and Scandinavian-style white, green and blue-based space, and there were photographs, instruments and paintings that felt Hokkaido and Ainu in 々.
