Had an amazing stay! Loved our relaxing time there and the city was beautiful. Went on a lovely hike. Hug and Momo were so sweet and such a great treat! The hosts were so welcoming and also had great recommendations for our trip going forward! Would love to stay again!

친구들과 하룻밤 묵었어요. 일본 특유의 감성이 곳곳에 잘 녹아 있었고 인테리어가 정말 아기자기해요. 아침에 비용을 조금만 추가해서 훌륭한 음식을 먹을 수 있었어요. 그리고 매우 친절해요. 드라이기나 소형 치약이 있었습니다.

관광지랑 거리도 가깝고 위치도 미나미오타루역, 오타루역 사이에 있어서 딱 좋았어요. 위생 상태도 좋고 숙소에 묵는 내내 친절하게 대해주셔서 편하게 지낼 수 있었어요. 그리고 강아지와 고양이가 특히 너무너무 귀여워요. 아침밥도 정말 맛있었습니다!! 다음에도 또 가고 싶어요
