It is conveniently located just up the hill from Sakaimachi Street, the main street of Otaru City.
It is about a 15-minute walk or 5-minute taxi ride from Otaru Station, and offers a relaxing stay that can be used as a hideaway or a second home when visiting Otaru. From the top of the hill, you can see the Otaru Port, which stimulates your sense of travel.
"I was very impressed by the connection between the movie-worthy old house and the modern Japanese-style hotel. Just staying here felt like an attraction in itself. However, the lighting was a bit dim at night and the lack of a drain in the bathroom floor was a bit inconvenient."

"I was a little nervous when I booked this hotel. I was worried that the outdoor hot spring would be cold and that the transportation would be inconvenient. After checking in, I found that the scenery here was beautiful, like a white fairy tale world. I took a lot of photos. Although it is not prosperous, the scenery is beautiful.
As for the outdoor hot spring, it is really not cold at all in the sub-zero temperature. It is very comfortable. After the bath, just put on the bathrobe and rush into the room to take a bath. Our family of three bathed every day and it was completely fine without feeling cold.
However, I was glad that I had arranged to pick up the airport when I first checked in. There are two reasons. 1. Although there is a station not far away, it is a bit difficult to find if you are not familiar with it on a snowy day. After getting familiar with it for a day, you can take a bus from the station at the door to go in and out to play. 2. Because it is a homestay, there are many things that need to be communicated, including garbage classification... You can ask the driver to help communicate, and there will be no problem~"
