Top Hotels with Gyms in Rausu

This inn opened in August 2018 with anticipation of demand for foreigners visiting Rausu for overseas unexplored tours. On some site, it was introduced as the only inn in Rausu that can speak English. Perhaps because of that, Booking.com had more word of mouth information than Rakuten Travel and Jalan. By the way, Sarai means ”inn” in Persian. It is said that the inn run by the West travel trip is only this Shiretoko Sarai, but it is a wonderful inn that is a waste. The price is reasonable and the room is not so large, but there is enough space to spread one large suitcase. The room was separated into Ａ building and Ｂ building, and we stayed in Ａ building with reception. After finishing the reception at the reception on the １ floor, take off your shoes and go up to the guest room on the second floor. There is no elevator. The floor of the room was flooring and had disposable slippers, but it was clean enough with barefoot and clean enough. Amenities are all available, but if you need room clothes, you need to request and borrow them at the reception. There is only a parking space for ５ cars in front of the building, and if it is full, you will use the ２ parking lot located a little far away (about 100 ｍ). It is about 250 meters from the roadside station ”Shiretoko Rausu”, and you can walk to the Shiretoko Nature Cruise office (ticket office), and I think the location is good. We chose a plan with dinner, but on the first day we had Western food (appetizers, local seafood carpaccio, roast ezo venison, homemade kelp bread, grilled plate of rausu silver cherry blossoms and summer vegetables, Tomato pasta with clams and homemade smoked salmon, homemade cheesecake ＆ after-dinner drinks), Japanese food on the second day (steamed oysters, small bowls, sashimi, fried cassbees, boiled black galleys, Shabu-shabu from Rausu, white rice from Hokkaido ”Nanatsuboshi”, vanilla ice cream ＆ after-dinner drinks), Western food on the 3rd day (appetizer platter, roast Ezo venison, octopus and red crush Ajijo, Homemade kelp bread, lamb lemon pepper grill, octopus and tomato garlic pasta, homemade cheesecake ＆ after-dinner drink) was very delicious every day. It is recommended because it is sufficient in quantity and affordable in terms of price. By the way, guests can serve draft beer (small) or a soft drink if they show their JAF membership card.

The room we were in was huge - 2 big beds and a lounge, a huge bath and wet room. Lots of toiletries provided in the bathroom too. The heating needed to be on to 26 or 27 degrees as there was a cold draft coming from under the door and also from the cold windows. This kept the room about 22 degrees we thought. The food was dreadful and made 100 times worse as I am vegetarian... Tasteless vegetables boiled to death with very little protein offered. Breakfast was even worse and one morning I was left to have cabbage and chips as that was all there was that was vegetarian... No bread of breakfast cereal anywhere in sight. Thankfully there is a supermarket close by. It seems quite common in rural Japan to not cater for vegetarians.... so beware...
