Guest Reviews

• Jacob (10/5): - An extremely cute place to stay, especially if you like unique Japanese trains. This was such a special place, I am very happy to have stayed here. During the winter, stinkbugs and ladybugs seem to enjoy the heat and are present in the room. It is not unmanageable, but it definitely made things a bit less comfortable. The bugs never actually came near me, though, and did not go into my bags, which I kept zipped shut.
• michael (10/5): It was great! Will come back! -
• 정 (9/5): - The time spent with other guests was an unforgettable experience. The accommodation had a truly wonderful atmosphere. I have an experience that it was difficult to reach the accommodation due to heavy snow. In the case of other seasons except winter, there will be no problem and it will be good to feel the nature. However, I think there will be a lot of visitors in winter because of the characteristics of the region, which will have to be endured. When you enduring, you can have a fantastic experience to live with!
• arj shige (10/5): 最高！また来年！ - ロケーション最高でオーナーさんも親切丁寧な方で安心できます。 特にありませんが。
• Sam (10/5): Wonderful! - Incredibly friendly owner and because of its small size, you get to interact with very interesting guests and have great chats whilst looking out at the trains pass by right beside you on the platform. A really incredible place to stay and unique! I'm a big train fanatic and this place is truly idyllic. Stay before the Shinkansen comes! :)
• Caleb (10/5): -
• Thomas (10/5): Very unique experience of staying at a train station with a very hospitable host. - Train platform right outside guesthouse, host is very friendly and sweet, he can provide meals if you request (I didn’t have the chance to), cozy atmosphere Found a few live stink bugs including one that fell on me, shopping needs to be done at Kutchan as there’s no restaurants or shops by the guesthouse, infrequent public transit
• Miguel (10/5): Thanks Kohei-san, we had an amazing time. Please let JR know the amazing work you do at the station guesthouse !! ありがとう！ - The coziest guesthouse you’d ever stay at a train station in Hokkaido
• RNRN19 (10/5): Amazing Guesthouse - The host, Kohei, was amazing and absolutely made our stay memorable. Very communal atmosphere. 10m drive to Hirafu ( you can pay the host to drive you if you do not have a car). Very quiet and cozy. Super clean and would definitely stay again.
• Ezra (10/5): Incredibly enjoyable. - The host completed this magical stay. Not being able to stay longer!
• Oliver (10/5): Really special - So quaint, Woodstove, great kitchen, beds and bathrooms were plenty. Really homey, encouraged socializing. Koeshi is what made the stay, excellent accommodating and warm person
• 雅彦 (10/5): 最高でした❗️また行きたい❗️ - 何もなくて、場所が最高です。函館本線で行きましたが、本当に「何もないから降りないで下さい」みたいなことを言ってました（笑） 管理人さんも気さくで話やすく、とても良い方でした。 金額的にちょっと…とは思うものの、ここが目的であれば十分に受け入れられる金額ではあります。
• Hideyuki (9/5): 駅に泊まれる宿で最高の経験 - はじめ相部屋には抵抗が有りましたがとても楽しく過ごすことができ、とてもいい経験をさせていただきました。駅に泊まっているので列車が来るたびにホームに出てのの撮影、ラッセル車もあっという間に通過すると聞いていましたが、何故かこの時は駅直前で停車、何か作業の後に再発進でじっくりと駅を通過するのを見ることができました。オーナーもとても親切で同室の方とも沢山お話していい時間を過ごすことができました。
• Frank (10/5): A once in a lifetime opportunity to sleep at the station - A thrilling encounter with one of Japan's most scenic and endangered railroads. The Hakodate Line between Oshamambe and Otaru is set to close with the opening of the shinkansen in 2038. Manager Kohei tells fascinating stories of Hokkaido's wild nature.
• Lawrence (10/5): Great Stay - Highly recommend - Great host and location - close to the slopes. Beds were comfortable and our host Kohei helped us out a lot. The shower being outside the main lodge. That’s it really.
• 义祥 (10/5): -
• Riley (10/5): This property was amazing! This stay had a comfy home feeling, Kohei the tender was welcoming and made the experience de - Easy access to the train station. Koehi and all the guest were very polite. Stay had a comfy home feeling. Easy to cook your own food. Food and supplies only a town away. Nothing.
