Family Tree Guest House

Very cosy atmosphere and welcoming staff. The whole is very clean and quiet. The nearby park is very beautiful and pleasant to walk through.

I always struggled to activate the bedroom number pad. Couldn't say if it was acting weird or I just never understood how it works. Not very central.

During my five-day stay at Family Tree Guest House in Sapporo for an academic conference, I truly felt at home. The Japanese host and her British husband have curated an exceptionally clean and cozy space that’s perfect for young travelers looking for comfort and sophistication. The thick, warm blankets, heating by the window, and convenient laundry facilities were thoughtful touches that made my stay incredibly enjoyable. The shower had strong water pressure, providing a warm, relaxing massage—perfect for the cold weather. The guesthouse is located near a beautiful park, which made for a refreshing start to each day. The park is a stunning location, popular for photos, and even includes a cultural center and an observatory, which are worth exploring. It was a delightful way to begin my day before heading to the subway. Just a 5-minute walk away, there’s a Seven-Eleven, making it incredibly convenient. I visited almost every day to grab daily essentials, from chargers to snacks—everything was easily accessible. There are also several izakayas nearby, three of which I especially enjoyed. Some of them stay open late, and I got the chance to experience a uniquely friendly aspect of Japanese culture, spending time with local men and enjoying the delicious food and drinks. I recommend being cautious, though, as it’s easy to overeat and drink! A highlight was a nearby ramen shop that opens at 5:30 PM. I found myself waiting outside by 5:20 PM, eagerly anticipating their delicious ramen, which was perfect for warming up on cold days. The ramen, made by a sweet grandmother, felt like a comforting, home-cooked meal. I highly recommend trying it if you’re in Sapporo. I’ve stayed at guesthouses in Korea before, but this experience was by far the best. If you’re looking for a comfortable and inviting place to stay in Japan, I wholeheartedly recommend this guesthouse.

The dining and kitchen area were spotless and very comfortable. The room was spacious enough for us and it was very clean. I liked that we weren't far from the tram and a big park the children could play in.

It was a fantastic stay here for my 7 days vacation. The house is super clean & quiet (sometime is too quiet, hahaha). The host is so helpful as well. Hope to come back for my snowboarding =]

The Location is a little bit far but with the public transport provided it is managable. Again, the transport in Japan is quite expensive. Hence i walk for 15-20min or more, meantime also can take a look the surrounding.

The place felt very homely and clean. The facilities were great and the staff was very helpful in guiding me through the check-in process. There's even a coin washing machine and dryer. I enjoyed exploring the park that is near the accommodation

The location is slightly far from the nearest train station so it might be difficult for people carrying many luggages or heavy backpacks. The neighbourhood is relatively quiet at night but it is not dangerous.

The staffs are very accommodating! And the guest house is very clean even though many people are checked in! It’s also very near from the tourist spots like the Nakajima Park and Susukino!

The sounds from the lock of the doors really bothered me every night when there is somebody going in and out. I also felt bad for the other people sleeping in our room when I was arriving very late at night and when I’m going to the toilet late at night.
