Guest Reviews
- Nino (10/5): - Un hotel basic dove non manca nulla, c’è tutto! La camera con vista sul mare era spaziosa. Ci sono spazi comuni dove mangiare e caffè sempre disponibile. Nei dintorni ci sono buonissimi ristoranti e 2 kombini. Molto consigliato!!! Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo!
- Masayuki (8/5): - 静かな海辺のロケーションです。
無料のコーヒー 美味しかったです。
ありがとうございました。
- Bryan (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay. Having access to a kitchen was great, the staff were friendly (even offered me some soba noodles one morning) and the sea view from my window was great. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, as was the chair I was sitting in to work for a bit. There are stairs in this property (no lift) so it may not work for everyone.
- WEIYU (10/5): - 很棒
- TSUDA (10/5): - フタッフも親切で海岸の眺めも素敵でした
ありがとうございました
- ? (10/5): - ウトロ港を見ながら、ゆっくりできました
- TOMOAKI (8/5): - 共同のキッチン、コインランドリー、各階に電子レンジがある(今回は4泊のため使用せず)ので、長期滞在に向いていると思う。無料の駐車場がありありがたい。畳にツインベッドの部屋だったので、ゴロゴロ出来て良かった。入館時に靴を脱ぐ必要がある。エレベーターが無いので、スーツケースを軽くしていないと少し辛いかも。
- Yuh Yiing (10/5): - Property owner was very helpful and friendly. She shared about dining options nearby and various tours avaliable during our stay
- MICHEL (6/5): - C'est vraiment un hôtel minimaliste : la chambre est minuscule, la salle de bains microscopique, l'équipement réduit à la plus simple expression. Vraiment cher pour ce que c'est.
- Claudia (8/5): - You need a car when you stay at this property. The wife and husband owners are so nice and helpful to show the kitchen. There is a professional kitchen all equipped that guests can use until 10pm. The view from my room was seaside and wonderful
- CHUNG-PAO (10/5): - Nice stay
- Boon Hua (6/5): - Staff did not bother to share about the more convenient way to move luggage to room during checking in. Generally not helpful.
- Miyuki (10/5): Vie magnifique ! - Nous avons la vie magnifique par notre fenêtre ! On peut utiliser la cuisine et la salle commune pour manger, boire, discuter, etc. J’adore le concept de ce lieu. Je recommande fortement 😊
- Mayumi (8/5): - 清潔なお部屋 また利用します
- keith (10/5): - A lovely couple run this hotel....so thoughtful and helpful ...lovely location on the edge of town and overlooking the harbour.if I visit Utoro again I wouldn't hesitate to return this hotel. Marvellous
- Steve (10/5): An oasis - A truly awesome oasis on the edge of town, with superb views over the bay, and lovely owners who go out of their way to help you. The other guests were also friendly, and the set-up of the open kitchen where you can prepare your own meals is a bonus. Actually the best bonus was the free coffee available 24/7. That was a blessing to the two drowned rats who made it to the hotel in a torrential downpour…
You would be hard-pressed to find better accommodation on the peninsula, and far less likely to meet nicer people. 5 big stars.
- Nicolo' (10/5): - Nice hotel with sea view , good position, room with a lot of space
- PUAY GEE (10/5): Little seaside room - Wonderful little seaside stay. Happy to open my windows to hear the waves rushing in. I think it’s a lovely spot ! Extremely happy to catch sunrise at my window view too
- Cheuk Man (8/5): - nice hotel with nice view and service
- Daisy (8/5): - The owner lady and her are delightful. The room is facing the sea which is creating dramatic atmosphere. Just the stairs are a bit hard to carry luggage’s, but the owner’s son gave us big help to carry the cases for us. Overall fantastic experience to stay in Shari.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Very nice - 房間乾淨、海景很漂亮、有免費熱咖啡可以喝。
地點離商店有點遠,不過來這裡的住客都是開車,所以不成問題。
比較不解的是發生三次詭異的現象,吃完晚餐回到房間後,蓮蓬頭自己打開噴水,而且還是開到最大的那種,因為不是小小的水流,所以也不是沒關好的緣故,因為每次離開房間回來後就又開始噴水,最後決定邊錄影邊鎖門,回來再開錄影,但這樣做卻又一切正常了,後來開車也累了,所以也沒有再在意了。
(老闆的想法覺得是門關太大了或根本沒關好🤔)
- Verified traveler (10/5): 超值的旅館 - 房間很大,還有大窗戶面對海,早晨很寧靜,旅館人員態度很好很熱心,房價在這個區域很划算,附近還有米其林餐廳,推薦👍
- Verified traveler (10/5): 写真の通り - 夫婦で利用しました。どんなホテルか少し心配でしたが、写真の通りで部屋は広く、清潔で満足でした。食事対応が無く地元の店での夕食を楽しみたい場合は17時頃までに入店するのが好い様です。
- BONGJOON (8/5): 시골 고향 분위기 - 찾아 가기 좀 힘드니 어둡기 전에 도착하세요.
조용한 바닷가, 고래가 보일듯한 해변가에 있어요.
저녁식사는 자동차로 조금 가면 되는대 오후
9:00 이후에는
편의점에서 선택 해야 할 듯
- megumi (10/5): - Clean and quiet
- Paul-Eric (10/5): Génial - Hotel génial ! Vue magnifique, salon commun très agréable, belles chambres.
Le personnel est adorable plein de petites attentions.
- ?? (10/5): - ロケーションが最高です!
- 延久 (4/5): - 食事の有無の設定が欲しかった。
- Clarence Kwang Hse (8/5): - Small, but reasonable price with great seaview.
- yung tai wlsi (8/5): - 自駕遊比較方便,民宿周圍只有7仔,但自己可以準備食物作早餐及晚餐,這裏可以自己煮食,非常方便
- eiichi (6/5): - 今回安く利用できました。周辺の観光にも便利な立地でよかったです。
- YURIKO (8/5): 部屋から海が近いです - 外観は古いかなとも思いましたが、室内はリニューアルされていて、畳にシングルベッドが2つおいてあり、清潔で過ごしやすかったです。
ホテルへの入り口が分かりにくいなと思いました。
- Kenson (10/5): - Clean rooms. Great central location for Shiretoko area. Lots of parking and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
- TAKAHARU (8/5): 気楽に楽しく - 滞在中は快適に過ごせました。2泊しましたが、ホテルの方も親切で気さくに話をする事ができました。ただ、食事の提供がなく、食事する場所も限られていて少し不便でした。自炊ができるので上手く食材が調達できればコストダウンできて楽しくやれます。因みに2泊とも食材を買って来て食事しました。出来るだけ簡単にできるものをチョイスして。良かったです。
- Cintia (10/5): - Great service, quite place, beautiful surroundings. I highly recommend it
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We have an ocean front room with tatami mats
We have an ocean view bath room with a tab
Super good
- MIKIKO (8/5): - 窓から見える海の眺めがよかった
- Carrie (10/5): - Much better than I expected. Rooms were clean and seemed renovated. Beautiful view from rooms.
Room like a hotel, facilities and convenience of hostel with a large common kitchen and dining area.
Staff were helpful.
Not quite in town (a few minutes drive), but this made for a beautiful sea view.
- Hirotaka (10/5): - 市街地から徒歩で15分ほどの距離ですが、車で移動していれば問題ありません。部屋も広くて良かったです。
- Naomi (10/5): - お部屋がとても綺麗でした。
窓の目の前にはオホーツク海。
- Nicholas (10/5): - My partner and I planned on camping and the campsites had closed for the season, so we went looking for options. This hotel was great! We ended up staying an additional night here, and plan to incorporate it into trips to the area in the future. The family that ran the hotel were wonderful and patient with the language barrier at times. We hope to stay again!
- Shinya (10/5): - 窓からの景色が素敵でした
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 身近に自然が感じられる。
- Norikatsu (10/5): - 窓の外はすぐ海で港の夜景と満天の星空を楽しめた。
スタッフは気さくな方で親切に周辺の風呂や食事場所を教えてくれた。対応が事務的でなく、会話が楽しい。
また来たい。
- ATSUSHI (10/5): - 部屋から海が見られて、凄く楽しめる。キッチンも使えて、自炊も楽しめる。ラウンジもあるので、仲間で泊まりにくると、より楽しめる。
- Rumiko (10/5): - お母様と息子さんで経営なさってますが、いつもとても親切です。
部屋も清潔で、窓からは海がすぐ近くに見え山とともに時間によって変わる景色は最高に美しいです!
- NORIMUNE (10/5): - 共同サウンジが使える。
- Sawako (10/5): - 食事は自分達で作るのですが、台所も広く、食器や鍋類も豊富で使いやすかったです。ホテルにはエレベーターが無く荷物を運ぶのが少し大変でしたがスタッフの方がお手伝いしてくれてよかったです。
毎日のフレッシュコーヒーも嬉しかったです。
- MASANOBU (10/5): - お部屋もきれいで、快適に過ごせました。
- Verified traveler (10/5): Friendly and comfortable - A small hotel that was friendly and comfortable. The view of the Okhotsk Sea from the room and terrace was wonderful. As mentioned in the description, you can cook your own meals, and there is free coffee for the guests. It takes a walk of about 20 minutes to get to the port of Utoro (for boat tours of the Shiretoko Peninsula and the bus centre) and "Godzilla Rock". There is a ramen and yakitori restaurant about 10 minutes from the hotel. I would definitely stay there again if I have the chance to revisit Utoro!
- Takako (10/5): また行きたい! - 大型ホテルでは味わえない、靴を履いたらすぐ海という好立地、ゆったりとしたテラス、そこで海と星を観ながらのビールは格別。オーナーのママさんと息子さんのさりげない心遣いやトークで心地よく過ごさせて頂きました。食事の提供は現在はされてないので、食料の準備は忘れずに。共用のラウンジには広いキッチンや冷蔵庫があるので好きなものを持ち込み、好きな時に食べ飲みできるのでとっても便利!今回はショートステイだったので、次回はオーナーさんのレクチャーを受け、釣りにチャレンジしたいです。また行きたいです!!今回はお世話になりありがとうございました。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 息子さんが親切で、
夕食の食堂を取ってくれたり、送ってくれたりと親切に接してくださいました。
- AKIRA (10/5): 快適なホテル - 海そばで夕焼けどき綺麗でした。
お店などが近くにないので車で移動する人向きだと思います。人懐っこい小型犬がいて可愛い。撫でてって要求してきます。
- KIMIYO (10/5): とても満足 - 海に面した小さなゲストハウス。
ゲストハウスとは言え、個室には冷蔵庫、ポット、ドライヤー、お茶セットなどあり、ビジネスホテルと変わらない。
共用のダイニングが広く、常にコーヒーが用意され好きに飲めるのが良い。
海に面したテラス席があり、とても眺めが良く、サンセットが美しい。
スタッフの対応もとてもよく、居心地良く過ごせる。
- Verified traveler (8/5): 海岸がすぐそばに - 海の見えるテラスが最高でした
- Verified traveler (10/5): - フレンドリーなオーナーはコミュニケーション力があって、アットホームな雰囲気。テラスからの景色も素敵です。港やバスターミナルまで距離があるのが玉に傷か。
- Verified traveler (10/5): また泊まりたい - 景色も綺麗で居心地が良かった
窓から海が見えるのは最高!
キッチンも使えるので好きなものを買ってきて自分で料理ができる。
部屋からキツネを見た
- Verified traveler (6/5): - 睡眠時間帯(夜間)、断続的にボイラーの音が聞こえ朝まで眠れませんでした。窓からの景色もよく、部屋も清潔でしたが、ほとんど眠れなかったのは残念でした。気温の低い日だったからかもしれませんが正直きつかったです。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 食事のサービスは無いが滞在費を抑えて宿泊するのに適する。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - プランの間違いを申告して安くしてくれたから。
- Torry (4/5): - 清潔な部屋。ベランダから眺望、知床の峰々、海、港が見えるのが良い
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 部屋が清潔で広く、設備もアメニティも充実して寝心地もとても満足しました。海に直面して大きな道路から離れている立地で、共有スペースのテラスで過ごせば最高に癒されます。オーナー家族で運営しており、民宿とホテルの良いところが両立しているアットホームな雰囲気になっています。また知床を旅する機会があれば、迷わずまた利用したいと思います。
- Alexander (10/5): a perfect place - A perfect place in Shiretoko. Friendly staff, pretty spacious rooms and nice public space for breakfast and relaxing. They can also give a ride to one of the restaurants in the city (of their choice) which can be very useful (restaurant will give a ride back). Free parking space and great sea breeze
- AlbadelRioCampo (8/5): - 自由かつ親戚の家に来たような、懐かしさがあります。キッチンが使える自由な雰囲気と予約のしやすさが、外国人にも人気の理由と思います。
- SAWADA (10/5): 非常に良かった - 見た目安そうなホテルだが中は清潔で部屋は快適。十分な広さの部屋、ふかふかな布団、充実したアメニティ、オーシャンビュー、親切なスタッフ、共同だがテラスやキッチンもある。値段以上の価値あり。イルカの畳と壁もかわいい。エレベーターがないのと外国人は多いのが気にならなければ最高。
- じゅんねえ (8/5): - きれいにリフォームをされていてこじんまりとしたホテルですが、ホテルへの道が狭く駐車場は整備されていない感じがします。
階段でしか移動が出来ず、2階がフロントなので足の不自由な人には向かないと思います。海が目の前なので景色は良いと思います。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - オーシャンビューで良かったです^_^
- Verified traveler (10/5): - お部屋はそれほど広くはありませんが、室内は綺麗で部屋から海が一望とても素敵なホテルでした。フロントの方の対応がとても良かったです。また利用したいです。
- Tono (8/5): - 長期滞在用に考えられたサービスが自分には心地よい!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - とても良かったです。また滞在したいと思いました!
- MAYUMI (10/5): 送迎 ありがとうございました。 - 中心地から少し離れていますが、電話で連絡をして送迎をして下さり、とても助かりました。
- Julien (10/5): - Very kind ppl, a lovely place !
- Jared (8/5): - We got a spacious room with a picture window of the frozen sea. However, the facilities were a bit dated. E.g,still using old water taps no mixers. But overall it was a pleasant stay
- Verified traveler (8/5): 感想 - とても良かったです。
周りにそんなにお店はありません。
- Verified traveler (10/5): 物有所值,會再考慮入住的選擇 - 離城鎮鬧區有一小段距離,自行開車前往會比較適合。有共用廚房可供使用,公共空間大,半hostel的感覺。房間整潔明亮,窗戶即可看到海。隔音一般,但也不至於太吵。
- takashi (10/5): 大満足 - 素泊まりですが、海を目の前にテラスで朝食を食べれてすごく良かったです。
コーヒー無料が嬉しかったです。
大変満足で、また行ってみたいです。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 駐車場に、車止めや停止線が欲しい。
- Francesco (8/5): Schöne Lage - Auf der okhotsk see. Sehr schöne Ausblick vom Fenster und ganz neben Shiretoko National Park
- Daryl (10/5): Amazing Hospitality & Great Vibe! - The hotel was about 20mins by foot from the Utoro Onsen Bus Terminal, so it was slightly inconvenient with our luggages. That said, the owner of the inn was really friendly and welcoming, which more than made up for the inconvenience. She even gave us 2 bicycles to use for free during our stay (compliments for guests who did not travel by car) and drove us to the Bus Terminal several hours after the check-out time. Facilities-wise, the pantry/kitchen was very cosy and comfortable; the balcony a great place to relax and view the surrounding scenery, the room clean, thoughtfully decorated and well-equipped (hairdryer, kettle etc). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here (and also playing with the adorable dog!).
- Verified traveler (10/5): - One of the best hotel experiences I had. The view from the room was spectecular. The caretakers were extremely helpful and friendly. i simply felt at home with the nice hospitality. Do remember to request for pick up service. You’ll have a wonderful experience in Utoro!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful view, great staff - Hotel is on a quite part of the old coastal highway now bypassed by a tunnel. Rooms are small but well-equipped and the view over the harbour is great. The staff is really friendly and helpful and the restaurant serves excellent pizza with local ingredients.
- Verified traveler (4/5): One of few sub-par lodgings in Japan?? - Iruka in Utoro claims itself to be a hotel, but it is operated like a low-end minshuku (guest house). It has one great attraction, its location is right by the sea, beautiful view of the sea throughout the day. Other than that, general quality of the place is rather poor, primarily because it has been around for quite a few years. And in fairness, maintaining such a place is rather difficult for small lodging owners in Japan. Overall, it was not what I expected. Fortunately, I only planned a 1-night stay. There is however one pleasant surprise, lunching at a boutique cafe about 600 metres down the road. It is named GVO, the owner is a sea urchin fisherman during "Uni" fishing season, so his specialty is cooking uni in a variety of ways. I had Spaghetti Uni - perfect!!!
- Michele (10/5): Good location, view and pizza - We stayed 2 nights to explore Shiretoko. We stayed in a family Japanese style room with 4 futons. The futons were comfortable and plenty of space in the room. A fridge also In the room and you can use their dining area and deck to have your afternoon drink while taking in the view. If you walk over the hill you will catch the sunset. The pizzas are delicious and the staff really helpful. Would highly recommend this hotel.
- Lili (10/5): Nice place - Great location, delicious dinner and breakfast, will definitely come again.
- Abraham (10/5): Nice hotel by the seaside - Great place to stay. Clean. Bed and breakfast style. Take off shoes and put them in a locker, switch to slippers in the building. A little farther out from the main part of town, but within walking distance (about 1 km). The owner works very hard and is very nice. Speaks decent English. Breakfast is also good. She also sells pizza for dinner if desired.
- Fred (8/5): Nice view near the sea - Nice view of the sea. Good pizza served in restaurant. Good value for money. Driveway to hotel is steep and not paved.
- Wing Lok (10/5): This is a quiet and nice hotel. - Quiet hotel besides the shore. 20 minutes walk to nearest convenience store. Attached photo was took at the nearest food shop. 15 fifteen minutes walk time.
- Neil (10/5): Great hotel. - The hotel is situated overlooking the Sea of Okhotsk and a lovely view can be had overlooking the sea from the hotel restaurant's terrace. The restaurant serves excellent pizza. Toppings range from the traditional to more Japanese in flavour.
The hotel is clean and I found the bed in my (Western style) room to be very comfortable. Free wi-fi is available and also free parking.
What really stood out for me though was the hotel's staff. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and helpful and made my stay even more special.
- janice (10/5): Nice hotel - Nice view from the room we stay, good breakfast. Recommended when visiting Shiretoko Peninsula.
- anton (10/5): Family style hotel with great view of the bay - We stayed in a 2 bedroom annex apartment, so had lots of space including kitchen and dinning area. Everything was new but perhaps a little flimsy. Hotel has a wonderful view of the bay with a balcony restaurant serving tasty pizza amongst other things
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel with nice room, superb staff - Good hotel with nice rooms, good staff. Will stay again
- Shaun (10/5): Relaxing seaside accommodation - Hotel was set on the shore if the Ohotsk sea. A picturesque relaxing location. You could gaze into the sea whole having a bath in our family room
- Shaun (10/5): Wake up to the sound of the calm Ohotsk sea - Beautiful seaside lodge on the edge of Utoro, brilliant view of the sea, nice breakfast and pizzas for dinner were great, easy access to seafood restaurants and the tranquil Shiretoko national park
- Sachiko (8/5): very relaxing - friendly staff . view from the room was good.nice breakfast.
- Drusilla (8/5): Clean and Comfortable Guesthouse - This place is more like a guesthouse. Its a lot cheaper than the other hotels offer. Its pretty clean and comfortable. Would recommend you this place if you are driving in that area because it is not really accessible. Love playing with their very friendly dog. It came greeting us when we first arrived. The dog's name is Akuri (Ikura spelled backwards). Its a rather good place for a day or two stay. But don't expect too much because its a guesthouse. You may not be able to see sunset from the room. But sunrise may be possible.
- MW (8/5):
Great surprise! - A very nice family run hotel!
Will come back soon.
- Gim Tee (8/5): Nice n clean hotel - The location is near the Shiretoko National Park. The room was clean and comfortable. There is no lift but we had help from the staff. The free breakfast was good. The path to the parking area was a bit tricky n challenging.
- Michele (10/5): Lovely place to call home for a couple nigbts - People were warm and friendly.food was good.check in was great. View was nice.beds(futon) comfy.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel close to National Park Center - We occupied the 2-bedroom apartment with all the kitchen facilities. Helpful staff to recommend all the places to visit around Shari area since it was wet weather when we were there 2 days.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Very charming hotel with a great view of Utoro. - The hotel was in its last legs of being refurbished during our stay, so there were still scaffoldings outside our window. Despite that, the view was great plus the hotel & room was so new, clean, comfortable and charming that we did not mind. The staff speaks English fluently, which made us feel right at home. We opted for the mixed Japanese/Western breakfast which cost 750Y per head. The hotel also offers a good selection of pizza (1150-1250Y) for in room dining or in the cafeteria.
