Book a Nakashibetsu Cottage

"Small but functional room, clean, unique experience with no staff hotel. "

"Perfect stay for visitors seeking a peaceful adventure. "

"The food they prepared for breakfast and dinner was delicious. Great location. "

"Friendly helpful staff,but that was the best part: the hotel has a drab exterior with extremely dirty windows within a run down locale opposite a disused/derelict building. The inside was functional but uniformly tired and dated. Our room was clean enough but the bedding was stained, the sheets and towels were old and thin. A simple warm air blowing heater kept us comfortably warm (no aircon but not needed in late October). The water went cold after one shower but was hot again by the morning. I reported weak wifi and was given an in-room wired hub which worked; except that on both evenings the hotel’s internet connection dropped out repeatedly. We made do for a couple of nights but wouldn't consider returning."

"If you like a place in the middle of nowhere which can provide you privacy and natural environment, this is the place! It’ll take around 12-15mins driving from the nearest town for groceries and local restaurants. Wonderful place for real getaway."

"This business hotel makes a reasonable base for exploring the Shiretoko National Park, given that options in Utoro are very limited. It is functional and a bit charmless, though facilities are all ok. The interior could do with renovating, as it all looks dark and gloomy. The mattresses were rather hard and the breakfast buffet wasn't up to the standard of other hotels we've stayed in - no fresh fruit, margarine instead of butter, unpleasant coffee (there's a better quality in the machine in reception). Staff were all pleasant enough."

"The hotel was typical rural Japanese, the showers are shared in the onsen area (no en suite). Breakfast was served to you but was really typical Japanese (don't expect western food here)."

"Service was wonderful. Person who checked us in was very understanding of my limitations in the Japanese language. His English was very good. Very welcoming atmosphere."
