Hotels with Breakfast in Shari

This is a typical ’boom & bust’ hotel, like the thousands of similar hotels you see all over Japan. It’s enormous, with lobbies, restaurands an common areas the size of airport hangars, huge rooms with separate tatami areas and massive onsens. All of which is in various stage of decay. This particular hotel is set back from the harbour, up on the hillside, presumably for tsunami reasons, which means you have to drive everywhere, to the boat tours in the harbour and the really nice little seafood shacks on the waterfront. The hotel offers, like all Japanese hotels, a myriad of ’settu’ options, all very confusing: breakfast, dinner and onsen package. Ditto with unlimited sake. Lunch and onsen and a spa treatment; don’t take any of these. The food is terrible by Japanese standards, and the gigantic restaurant is more like a East German Communist Party Headquarters canteen circa 1953 than a restaurant. You know whst I mean. Our room was huge, but with peeing wallpaper, slightly smelly damp wall-to-wall carpeting and (my pet hate) one of those pre-fab plastic bathrooms which has all the solidity of a bouncy castle. Our friends stayed at the Kitanokobushi Shiretoko Hotel, and I wish we had too. This is actually built this millennium and is right on the water. I highly recommend you stay there instead. As for me, I am thoroughly fed up with these depressing, smelly 1980’s concrete monsters.

I chose this hotel because there is a large communal bath. I went to the bathroom thinking that there would be no small children after 22:00, but I had a child about ２ with my mother. The admission time is not fixed, so although I am a little disappointed, when I wash my body first, my child is making a loud noise. The content will be long, so it will be folded, but depending on the mother's response, it was a content that did not have to make a loud voice. Next, the child said ”pee”. There was a toilet right after leaving the bathroom, but my mother made it on the spot. Children (girls) urinate standing in the washroom, not toward the drain or corner (of course it's still out). My mother is showering toward it. Although there was a distance, the direction is facing me! I was stunned and wanted to yell, but I put up with it because I thought my child should not be traumatized. I urinate in my standing state, shower there, and scatter to what extent? I gave up because I had to pass by the site to go to the open-air bath I was looking forward to. Even if there are other guests, there are adults who are okay with this. No matter how clean the hotel is, it is irresistible because it is dirty by such guests. The other is an event at the breakfast buffet. It was just after the store opened, but it was quite lined up. A man dropped a small tong for miso soup ingredients (wakame?). I picked it up immediately and was looking for a staff member, but there was no staff member, and I put the tongs next to the ingredients. And when I got to my seat, I didn't go looking for the staff, but I started eating. I think some people were watching, but no one said anything. I think there were about 10 people in the meantime, but in my turn, the tongs were put in the ingredients and used. Due to the expansion of the corona, this is the situation where I am very careful about hygiene. In this case, I think it's a problem that the staff who can be called immediately were not in the dining room. It was a beautiful hotel, the room was large, and there was no problem with the customer service, but if you see people with such bad manners in just one night and two days, the impression of the hotel will be bad.

This was the most amazing stay of our 2-week Hokkaido trip. The design of the hotel was very nice, it is hard for a large hotel to feel homely and comfortable, but it did - walking around the lobby and dining areas was such a pleasant feeling, there is also a TV section where everyone enjoyed the documentaries on Shiretoko comfortably. The staff at the hotel were incredible, they were all very friendly and helpful, and seemed genuinely happy with their jobs - from the man at the front of the hotel welcoming us into the hotel and directing the cars to the carpark, to the front desk, and the servers and chefs at the restaurant - everyone was so friendly and nice. The breakfast and dinner buffet was amazingly good - usually I do not enjoy buffets as much, as the food is usually just average, but here, the food variety was amazing, and quality was so good! I had the freshest sashimi, very good desserts, good grilled beef and pork, ramen was amazing, and the fried food counter was so good. The rooms and onsen were comfortable and luxurious as well. The price we paid for the hotel was very well worth it! Thank you very much - we really enjoyed ourselves! Every day when we got back to the hotel after a long day out, it felt like returning home.

There is a transfer from the bus terminal, facing the sea in an inn with a woody smell, and the price is reasonable. I was taken from the Utro bus terminal and went straight to Shiretoko Nature Center by bus. On the way back, I arrived at the inn in 45 minutes on foot while watching the sea of drift ice. The room is not large but clean and the sea is also visible. There is also an open-air bath in time system, and the indoor bath is large and nice. There are owners and employees, so it feels good.

An inn in Utoro, Shiretoko; I used the World Natural Heritage inn Shiretoko Village Tsukuda-so in July 2021. Shiretoko in 2021 was a year when it was very difficult to make reservations for inns. Many guest houses are closed due to the corona disaster, and relatively large inns and hotels are open, and even major hotels will be closed after the beginning of June. We also had to look for an inn in a hurry a month before the trip. Under such circumstances, Shiretoko Village Tsukuda-so is an inn that can be used for a relatively reasonable accommodation price, and the food is delicious (especially the boiled menme is delicious), and it has a hot spring. It is a relatively reasonable usage fee for Shiretoko with a cup of hair crab for dinner and 37400 yen / two people for two meals per night. The hot spring ”Kuma no Yu” was a reddish muddy hot water, also called a beautiful hot water, and it was a pleasant hot water with a little tromi. If there is a difficulty, it was a little difficult to sleep at night in Utoro in 2021, where there were no air conditioners in the guest rooms and the daytime temperature exceeded 30 degrees Celsius. In addition, the surrounding nature is rich, and where does it come out at night, the insects of 々 intrude into the room and make a fuss. The room has insecticides and gum tapes for insect capture, but it may be quite difficult for women ...

The room had a space to open suitcases and was clean. The hot spring water was good, and the sea breeze felt in the open-air bath was also pleasant. In addition to the menus that are common in business-type hotels, there are also seafood dishes. It's true that it's not as luxurious as the introductory photo on the homepage, but I felt that it was the best possible hospitality. The front desk and dining staff seemed to be working with a minimum number of people, but they were polite and kind when I went to the front desk to ask questions, as well as check-in and check-out procedures. Shiretoko itself is expensive, so I think I was able to stay here at a relatively reasonable price. If you think of it as one of the sightseeing bases rather than enjoying it at the hotel, it is a very convenient location near the roadside station, sightseeing boat office, convenience store, coin laundry, Oronko Rock, Godzilla Rock, etc. Shiretoko is a great place for both hot springs and sightseeing.

Excellent Japanese style inn run by an Ainu couple. Delicious and ample dinner and breakfast. Located only a few minutes walk from cruise ticket offices and departure ports so you can save a few dollars on parking as well.

The first day was a huge hot spring hotel, so on the second day I wanted to buy and eat crabs, so I went here. There were a lot of low reviews (before renovation?), so I was worried until I arrived, but the facility was renovated and beautiful, and the view was great, overlooking the Utoro fishing port from the room and the open-air bath. 〇 The food at the hot spring hotel is not very delicious and I can't eat it all. Drinks are also super expensive. ⇒ I want to choose what I want to eat and drink to my heart's content. I think it's recommended for people. The shared kitchen was well equipped, and there was no inconvenience with cooking utensils and tableware. However, there are detailed instructions on how to separate garbage, etc. It seems that there are many people who do not use the kitchen.

I stayed １ in 2022 ２ month ... because it was a visit aimed at the ice time, I was able to enjoy it. However, at this time, the weather was bad, so I couldn't worship the sunset (tears). As other word of mouth, I think the evaluation changes with each 々 values. I was satisfied enough. The room was also enough for Japanese room ８ tatami mats because it was only sleeping at night. I am satisfied with the rental condition (there were quite many guests) even if I go to the hot spring. The open-air bath outside was also pleasant, but the foot was frozen, so be careful. The temperature of hot water is high in the inner bath at night, and the impression that the outer bath was hot in the morning. The meal is separate from the hotel, moving the snow road to the restaurant building, and the barbecue was also large and sufficient. The last rice was finally eaten one bite. The building certainly looked aging but clean. Other guests were the impression of students and the ice divers. The hotel around Utro is a large hotel and has many first-class hotels, but it is hard to move from the room to the public bath and restaurant, but this is a small building and it was good to have a small turn. The meal was luxurious here, there was a natural hot spring, and I felt ”first class”, and the staff 々 was very kind and spoke with me.

Absolutely loved everything about this place! I stayed overnight with my friend and her family. Yuta (owner's son) and his mother went above and beyond to give us spectacular experience! Food was top quality, facility was extremely clean, Onsen water was so silky, delicious Gelato and good opportunity to try varieties of Japanese alcohol. This place made our visit to Hokkaido extra special. Thank you for taking good care of us and spending quality time with Matthew! He adores you!! ps. Ask Yuta to make Esther's secret menu: pistachio affragato 😀
