Gasthof Papirio, quietly nestled in the forest near Lake Kussharo

We spent a truly relaxing time at this warm inn run by a married couple 🛏🌿 At night, we warmed ourselves up by the hearth and wood stove. In the morning, we woke up to the quiet sounds of the forest and the birds 🌲✨ The meals were made with plenty of local ingredients, with gentle flavors, and you could enjoy delicious Hokkaido food 💓 It's also a perfect base for visiting Lake Kussharo, Mt. Iou, and hot springs ♨️ It's a special place where you can quietly connect with nature. 📍There are plenty of tourist spots! ・5 minutes walk: Lake Kussharo Sand Bath (foot bath and swan paradise) ・5 minutes by car: Experience the geothermal heat of Mt.
