Guest Reviews

- Martin (10/5): A place to fully relax whilst enjoying the beautiful location. The hosts were lovely, I would highly recommend this plac - It is in a great location with lakes nearby. The hosts were lovely and had given thought and attention to the guests every need.
The dinner and breakfast was delicious and presented so well by the couple.
- Charlotte (10/5): -
- Laura (10/5): I would love to come back here again and hope for clear weather so we can do some star gazing. - The food was incredible. The ambiance was on the playful/cutesy side and felt very comfortable and luxurious at the same time. The owners were very friendly and their cats were adorable. I couldn’t get the bird sounds to turn off in the bathroom.
- Andrea Erika (8/5): Insgesamt wunderbar! - Sternenhimmel Dass man von 10.00-15.00 nicht im Hotel sein darf.
- Natalia (10/5): Это прекрасное место! Вернусь сюда обязательно! - Отличное место! С душой!
Меня постоянно окружало внимание и предусмотрительность. От момента бронирования до прощаний. Ужин от хозяйки просто великолепен! Спасибо!
- hatsuzo (8/5): ゆっくり気分のお宿 - 静かで落ち着いた雰囲気を期待して行きましたが、期待通りでした。 特に無し
- Simyee H (10/5): No regrets spending our Christmas Eve here - The location though is off the main road, it is easy to find within ample parking place. The property is beautifully decorated, clean and cosy. Lots of big windows allowing sunlight in and to look at the wonderful surrounding views. The room is well equipped, clean and comfortable. Our hosts cooked us the most healthy and delicious Christmas Eve dinner, served with grape wine. Happy to have chosen to spend our Christmas Eve at Polaris. NIL
- Wen Pin (9/5): It was a great stay and we really enjoyed and will surely recommend to anyone! 👏🏻👏🏻 - Very cozy and homely accommodation. Hosts were friendly and attentive and meals were satisfying and sumptuous. Able to see the efforts in preparation 👍🏻👍🏻 Nothing
- Tracy (10/5): Owners are nice and super clean. Took stargazing picture for me - V good place for stargazing!! No. Everything is good
- Yael (10/5): - This is an amazing spot with a very proactive owner that will literally get you the stars.
- Aurelie (10/5): - Unforgettable!
We will definitely come back!!! Nothing
- Hsingwen (10/5): 整體體驗良好,老闆服務良好,餐點多元美味,房間內部空間大,浴室乾淨整潔,晚上天氣好可以看到星空。 - 住宿環境非常好,晚餐豐富多元品質良好良好
- Yew (10/5): Loved it - It in a quiet spot in Teshikaga. Quiet and Excellent place for stargazing.
- Rita (10/5): A warm, memorable stay filled with care, stars, and the sweetest cats — we hope to return one day. - The atmosphere felt like home — the place is run by a lovely couple who truly care about the guest experience. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared, with clear attention to detail. One of the highlights was definitely the two adorable cats, Kiki and Kuma, who added so much charm to our stay. We also loved the stargazing experience — being able to see the night sky so clearly, getting thoughtful explanations, and even receiving a beautiful photo made it truly unforgettable. Nothing to complain about — everything exceeded our expectations (:
- Tal (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts are an adorable couple with their 2 cute cats. They made our stay perfect, we enjoy the meals, the star gazing, the beautiful nature and the amazing hospitality. Nothing
- Hyunah (10/5): Wonderful and unique stay - Very kind owners. Delicious food and drinks..Spotlessly clean facilities..Star gazing was fantastic.
- Svetlana (10/5): Perfect! - So happy we came across this little gem of a place. Tucked in at the end of a quiet private country lane, Polaris offered us a perfect base to explore Eastern Hokkaido. It is a very easy drive from the property to see Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo and visit the Cranes in Tsurui. The lodge is small (but our room was very spacious), charming, pristinely clean, warm and welcoming. The moment we stepped into the lodge, noticed owners' great attention to detail. A lot of thought and care went into creating this lovely place: from a flowering coffee tree in the dining area to room amenities, to binoculars offered to enhance our birdwatching experience. Every morning we woke up to bird song and a fantastic snow view from our window. If you lucky, you will see a Shima-enaga, a gorgeous white Long-tailed tit native to Hokkaido, coming to say hello. Breakfast was sumptuous and delicious and multi-course dinner offered a few local specialties beautifully cooked and presented. The owners take a great pride of Hokkaido and will help you with your trip planning. If you like peace and quiet, privacy, dark sky away from resort crowds, this place is for you! Nothing
- James (10/5): It was comfortable. The hosts were friendly and so were the cats. Room was comfortable to stay and food was good. - Very cosy and comfy yet seems clean and modern. Nothing much to not like about it.
- Chun (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chin (10/5): Beautiful home, felt very rested and energized after the stay. - It was a very beautiful home. The hosts/staff were warm and attentive to our needs. Interior decor was cosy and comfortable, and place was very well maintained. It was the highlight of our stay and the owner and his wife, together with their cats made us felt welcomed and even prepared some information sheets on suggestions for our onward travels. It was truly a highlight of our trip here😊 There was really nothing I didn’t like about.
- Francesca (10/5): Exceptional - I stayed with my boyfriend in Polaris during our trip to eastern Hokkaido. The pension is located in one area with amazing nature, close to Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo. The owners are very friendly and made us feel at home. They are very passionate about what they are doing and the pension is really cared of in every detail. They also gave us precise indications about famous and less known sightseeing destinations nearby. There were also two wonderful cats, they did not disturb and they were really a great company. We were able to see a starry sky with the owner's telescope and the owner took us a great photo with professional equipment. The dinner and the breakfast were also excellent and with many fresh local products. I would highly recommend Polaris and I would definitely go again.
- Torsten (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice lodge in a serene surrounding with committed hosts and tasty meals. Various sights are easily reachable by car and the hosts provided valuable guidance. Highly recommended.
- Sutinna (9/5): A charming, cozy little place. Highly recommend. - Charming hosts and the cats. The skylight is good for the star but as the sun came up at 5.30 am, it's not very late-sleeper friendly.
- Yuen (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel is surrounded by grassland. The environment is quiet and make you feel calm and comfortable. The person in charge of the hotel is a couple. They are friendly ,warm and always ready to help. The two cats are very cute. The supplies, decorations and tableware in the hotel are the exquisite ideas of the couple. I look forward to visiting the hotel next time and I hope Ican see the starry sky. Nil
- Adeline (9/5): Will definitely come back again! - One the best place we have ever stayed! The interior of the place is awesome! Very well maintained, can’t believe that they have opened since 2011. Everything was like newly renovated. We loved the room, very spacious room for 3 pax, that comes with bath and a huge toilet. We didn’t manage to see the milky ways as it was a little cloudy that night, but towards midnight, the stars that we saw was amazing! The hosts are very welcoming, breakfast and dinner was very good! And the 2 resident cats are so sweet… they come out to greet the guests, and then go back to their own room.. they don’t disturb and no meowing in the nights..
- Ting (9/5): Superb - Very attentive and helpful owners who recommended places of interest to us, and printed coloured maps for us too.
Excellent food, all homecooked too. Lady owner made special effort to cook more for my hungry kids, and they loved her cooking. Would need to self drive to get there, but the location in general is excellent. Close to many major attractions in the area.
