It’s an amazing and unforgettable experience staying in Pension Polaris. The owner is very meticulous and everything was well prepared. He showed us the full moon and starry night outside with his telescope, it was very impressive. The stay at Pension Polaris was highly recommended!

We (four people) visited Pension Polaris on 7 February 2024. This was the second time we resided in this place, and last time was in February 2020. Both Ichiro BABA and Ayana were very friendly and provided excellent service to us, including preparation of delicious food in both dinner and breakfast. If you like cats, I strongly recommend that you visit this place because Kuma and Kiki (two cats) are very cute and friendly. The environment of this pension is excellent, and you can see a lot of birds there and sometimes fox also. The location of the pension is also good if you want to see swan in 砂湯 and crane in 釧路. Overall, the experience of visiting place is nice, and I am sure that I will be going there for the third time in the near future.

The rooms were very clean and spacious, with a big window overlooking spacious field. We stayed in a room with 2 adults and 2 kids (2&6 years old) and had enough space to relax. You can observe birds and animals with binoculars equipped in each room. They also showed us the moon and stars using big telescope, a wonderful experience. There were also two nice cats and a library, that entertained our kids very well. They serve carefully prepared homemade food, using local ingredients, which was delicious. The service was also amazing, with careful consideration for our needs. They also provided lots of activities regarding activities around. My 6yo loved the stay there and already asking us to go back. Wonderful hidden gem, totally recommended.

We stayed for two nights from November 6th. Perhaps because it was the off-season, there were no other guests and we practically had the place to ourselves (^-^; The owners were very friendly and even acted as our travel concierge (*^^*) The two mascot cats (Kiki and Kuma-chan) were also very cute and soothing - this is an irresistible inn for cat lovers 🐈 In the morning, you can birdwatch as the birds peck at food from the dining room 🐦 The meals were plentiful and delicious (^-^) And best of all, we were able to see a starry sky (so impressive!) The husband gave us advice on photography and a lecture on starry skies. There is a vast expanse of pastureland surrounding the pension, so you can see the sunrise The windows in the room are large and you just want to stare blankly at this view forever - it's especially perfect for people who are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city! This is the kind of inn it is. I would like to visit again in a different season.

My family and I stayed here during the summer holidays. We thoroughly enjoyed the abundant nature, scenery, and delicious food, all while being soothed by the hospitality of the owners, their husband and wife, and their cats, Kuma-kun and Kiki-chan. At night, the owners led us to stargazing, and we were given a photo as a gift. The room was very comfortable, with attention to detail and a clean look. Apparently you can also see Japanese long-tailed tits in the nearby woods, so we'd like to come back in the winter next time. Thank you very much.

I stayed there with my wife, who is disabled on her right side. - Separate bathroom with washing area - (Even if there is a washing area, it is in the same space as the toilet, so the area around the toilet gets wet and uncomfortable) - The shower toilet is in the right corner of the toilet space, and the position of the handle is convenient - (If the toilet is on the left side of the toilet space, the wall handle will be opposite your left hand, which means you will have to sit or stand in an awkward position) - The sink in the toilet space can be moved closer so you can wash your face while remaining in your wheelchair (In many places it is too small to fit your feet or knees under the sink) I would like to stay for a few nights and take a leisurely stroll around the neighbourhood.

The clean and spacious rooms had a magnificent view from the windows, and the food, made with plenty of Hokkaido ingredients, was delicious. At night, the owner guided us under the twinkling starry sky and the soft Milky Way. He also told us about the constellations and gave us some photos taken with his high-performance camera. The next morning, we were moved by the sea of ​​clouds over Lake Mashu. Dawn came earlier than we expected, and thanks to the owner couple's advice, we arrived at the perfect time. We really enjoyed our trip to Hokkaido. This is a highly recommended inn!

This is a beautiful and calming pension in the middle of nature. I think it's a good idea not to have a TV. The room was clean, and from the window you can see a wide green field and a forest typical of Hokkaido in the distance. In winter, you can see the footprints of the red fox, so I would like to go in that season as well. The food was made with local ingredients and was very filling and delicious. We had given up on seeing the stars because of the cloudy sky, but after the meal, when we were playing with the cat for a while, the clouds cleared and we went stargazing in the pitch black. In the sky full of stars, we were told the names of the constellations and stars, and we could even see the space station. My family, who loves groves, enjoyed walking through Polaris Forest. They gave us advice on the weather for the next day, things to see, and places to eat in Kushiro, and they also prepared materials for us. It was very helpful. As we don't have a car, we took the JR to Mashu Station and took a taxi for about 2,600 yen.

We stayed here on our honeymoon. They were very kind, from the reservation process to the service on the day, and it was a very pleasant stay at Polaris! They also gave us advice on stargazing and travel plans, which was great! It was a bit cloudy on the day, but we managed to see the stars, the food was delicious, and it was a perfect day. This time we went in March, so next time we'd like to come in spring or summer. You definitely won't regret staying at Polaris (^^) I highly recommend it.
