"This is a very uniquely Kushiro hotel, with a great spot overlooking the river. It’s got under 50 rooms for a more boutique feel than the larger businesses hotel chains nearby. Designed by a local architect and updated through the years, it has a lot of character and charm. The staff are extremely helpful and look after your needs well. I particularly enjoyed the free drink service and serving of venison curry in the evening, it was a tasty snack after a long day. The lobby has a selection of clothes and other items from local brands available for purchase. Definitely the place to stay if you are looking for an authentic local experience."
