2-Star Hotels in Hokkaido, Japan

The accommodation is much better than I thought. We went in the winter and the snow was really thick. The villa has 2 floors. The ground floor has a kitchen, a dining area, and a backyard area. The upper floor is a bedroom with a large window for sleeping and watching the snow. If you go in the winter, you have to push your luggage in a cart yourself. It's fun. The atmosphere around the accommodation is good, but it's more suitable for people with cars because it's quite far from the city.

The staff at the inn were warm and moderate, and I was very comfortable. While there were many non-smoking rooms, the companion who was a smoker was very happy. In addition, the correspondence of the odor remaining in the room is also firm, and I think it can be comfortable. It's a hot spring, but you can get the power of the source. It is a hot spring of great satisfaction! I want to enter again ♪

The house design is beautiful, but the location is a bit far unless you have a car. The guesthouse serves food, and you can mingle with other guests. You can also play with the cats, though be careful with the three-legged one. The room is clean and comfortable.

The location was great, only a 5-minute walk from Maruyama-koen Station. The room felt nice and was very clean. It had a kitchen with a large refrigerator, microwave, rice cooker, and electric stove. There were also two sinks, which was perfect for the four of us. Wi-Fi was available, and there's a supermarket nearby. However, upon arrival, there was a sign for the front desk on the 3rd floor, and when I got into the elevator, it wouldn't move without a 3-digit code. I didn't know about this, and I'm not sure if I was informed of it beforehand. It caused some hassle during check-in, which is self-service. I eventually had to call to complete the check-in process.

Trip.com has always been my go to for travel bookings. Similarly this time to Niseko, decided to extend for an additional week and MyEcolodge came up in the search. I have to mention the checkin was seamless, but what I thought i booked, vastly differ from what was allocated for me. I thought what i booked was a room to myself however it turns out as a shared room. Its not a big deal but the feeling of misinterpretation leaves an awful taste. (Trip.com CS stepped in and helped to clarify things but theres nothing that could be done. peak season, and everywhere else is fully booked or without paying a premium) That said, the stay was good. MyEcolodge sits in a very convenient location just couple stops from Hirafu. Theres various buses including free shutters so thats really an ease off the mind) 7eleven, a small cafe, hotpot/shabushabu restaurant just sits across from you. The hostel also has their own cafeteria though ive never eaten there (food looks good though). They have a huge storage room for your gears, pretty safe so no worries. pantry, laundry room, washroom are pretty spacious and kept tidy. The room itself is fine, nothing to wow about. nothing to complain either. Towels are free and clean. Everything else you need to pay. Overall good stay. Pray hard you get nice room mates if youre sharing!

This is the first hostel I ever tried, personally they just aren’t for me so it’s difficult to review this place. Hearing other people snoring like chainsaws and making noise rustling bags well into the night and having phone conversations at 6am made me unable to get a good nights sleep both nights I stayed here. It’s not necessarily the hostels fault that other guests are crap but I will likely never stay in a hostel again after this experience. At least the location wasn’t bad I guess, and the staff (when they were there) seemed nice.

Rebun Shiri is an excellent budget-friendly ryokan on Rebun Island, offering a comfortable stay in a convenient location just 5–10 minutes on foot from Kafuka Port. The property is surrounded by useful amenities, including a supermarket and several restaurants, making it easy to find food and supplies during your stay. Guests can choose between traditional Japanese-style tatami rooms with futons or Western-style twin rooms, depending on their preference. The facilities are well maintained, with shared bathrooms and washbasins separated from the guest rooms. On the first floor, there is a public bath (sento) with separate areas for men and women, providing a relaxing way to unwind after a day of sightseeing. Complimentary yukata are also available for guests to wear during their stay. What truly stands out is the warm hospitality of the staff, who were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. Considering the high accommodation prices often found on Rebun Island, this ryokan offers outstanding value for money. As a bonus, you may even spot seagulls gathering on the rooftop in the morning, creating a charming and memorable island atmosphere. Overall, an easy 5-star stay for anyone looking for affordable, comfortable, and authentic accommodation on Rebun Island.

We were here scouting a bit for the coming winter and really liked the location very close to the slopes and also a few restaurants a short walk away. Downside perhaps that no Lawson or similar in the immediate surroundings but maybe there was some other minimart around the lift station. Just spent a night here so not much time to drift around the area. Easy parking in front, fast check in and a kind offering to help haul the suitcases upstairs. Hotel is in super good shape, felt almost brand new. Nice public area with couches and a fireplace. Room was good size and comfortable for 3 but especially for a ski resort it really lacked storage for clothes. Could easily have fit something under the bunk bed. Also in the bath theres no place to hang towels or clothes, just a really tiny foldable drying rack. Room fridge was not cooling either and pretty small. Breakfast was set menu and nice for this stay but for winter I would rather have a buffet to load up for a day on the mountain. Might be though they change for winter and i realize that buffet may not be a sustainable option for low season and few guests. All in all it was a good stay and we will definitely keep this in mind for the next visit to Furano 👍🏼

Family room is very large and there is a attic floor room with refrigerator shower and toilet separation very clean no smell very quiet there is a laundry room with a dryer there are other Japanese tourists staying on the same day the boss is very good and very happy to help you can make an appointment to pick you up to the station or Wen Quanjie at night, we took a boat to watch the fireworks at night at 9:20. The boss also helped us to pick us up at that time. There are three hiking routes next to the hotel. There are two short ones. It takes more than half an hour to go back and forth. In the morning, we slowly walked to the Jinbiluo Fire Exit Observatory. The raw sika deer was curious and cautiously observed for a while, and then twisted around. It jumped into the planting on the side of the road and disappeared. It had unexpected benefits. According to the boss, there are actually many deer here. You can overlook Lake Toya and the hot spring block and the pool of green mountains. Water (small fire mouth) The boss warmly invited us to come again in winter. I want to come to the snow scene to win.

A small but charming accommodation. The staff at the front desk were very friendly. The room was just right for two people, with a standard double bed. It's a 5-minute walk to Wulinggang Pagoda. Clown Burger is next to Wulinggang Pagoda and is open until 9 pm. Parking is available right next to the hotel. It costs 660 yen per day. There's a large restaurant called Da Kuro-ya just around the corner. There are many places to eat nearby in the evening.
