Hostels in Hokkaido, Japan

What's great about this hotel is its location in Nishikoji; it's incredibly convenient for evening strolls. Some shops in Nishikoji stay open until 11 PM or even later, so you don't have to worry about it getting too late. However, this hotel is genuinely tiny. There's barely any space for luggage, and the rooms are too small, which is something to consider.

This hostel is on the pricier side, and the shower water temperature is inconsistent. It's really inconvenient having to walk through the kitchen and common area, past everyone, just to get to the bathroom. Many residents seem to live here permanently, with their belongings scattered all over the floor. It's not a very welcoming place for travelers just staying a short while.

Maybe if it's not snowing, 800m to susukino station is easy, and I don't know if the room concept is like urban style, because it's like a newly renovated building but not complete yet, for the room is too small, about 2 pieces 28” luggage can be opened at the same time and then you can't go in nor go out. But the price is cheap. Overall 7/10 Kitchen lounge is good

I used a five-day pass for my trip to Shiretoko Five Lakes, Abashiri, and Kushiro-Obihiro in Hokkaido. Obihiro is just over a two-hour drive from Sapporo, offering easy access to Kushiro Marsh and convenient transportation to Sapporo and Noboribetsu. The convenience of a single-person stay was the key reason I chose Obihiro. One minor complaint was the mixed-gender bunk beds on the first floor, and the lack of signage for the restrooms and showers was a major drawback. Breakfast was served in the lobby downstairs, and there were very affordable izakayas nearby. Jr. Obihiro Station is about a 700-meter walk away, and there's a bus to Koufuku Station right in front of the station. I love the Japanese countryside; every spot offers unique scenery and delicious food.

There is a wood burning to the heating stove at the entrance on the first floor of the homestay. It really feels a little ”untapped”. The homestay is divided into two parts, and the back should be more upscale! Because I didn't really enter it, I just took a photo outside. The homestay attaches great importance to details. Guests who are afraid of cold can freely take hot water bags and cover them with towels and coats very carefully. If you have the opportunity to see the real experience!

This was my first time staying here, and it was only for one night, but I received a warm welcome and the room was great, so I'd like to stay for multiple nights next time. Thank you very much.

I really experienced the style of a Japanese homestay here, especially the children are very excited about tatami. The room is very spacious, there is also a loft, you can sleep on it and below, and you can make your own bed and fold the quilt. Although it is not a hotel, the floor, carpet, bathroom, mattress, quilt... are very clean. There is heating in the house, although it looks small, but the energy is very big. The store is a short distance from Hot Spring Street, about 40 minutes walk, snowy road in winter, it is not recommended to walk, you can do bus to arrive, the station is at the door, there is a timetable in the corridor on the first floor for reference. When returning at night, the boss is very intimate to pick up the car, you can call in advance or agree on the time and place in advance. The boss is very very nice, very friendly, and the owner's mother (a kind old grandmother) who lives next to the hotel is also very good. We arrived early in the morning. The grandmother did not let us check in at 3 pm like other hotels, but kept saying that the weather was cold and let me go directly to the room. In the afternoon, she personally sent us to Hot Spring Street. I was very touched. 👍👍👍 The next morning, because there was no suitable bus, the boss took the initiative to send us to the station, which made us very touched 👍 In short, if you are tired of staying in a hotel, want to experience Japanese life and feel the warmth of ”home”, you can come here. highly recommended

There was an issue with my capsule hotel booking, and to top it off, Sapporo experienced heavy snowfall, causing the JR airport line to shut down. By the time I finally made it to the city center, the subway and buses had stopped running. Luckily, I spontaneously booked this place, and it's within walking distance of Sapporo JR Station. Given the price, I didn't have high expectations. I just pulled the curtain, put in my earplugs, and slept soundly until morning. It's a decent option for a solo traveler needing a last-minute overnight stay.

Excellent! It has a very hostel-like vibe with comfortable common areas where I could chat with other travelers in the evenings. The staff were also very friendly, engaging in conversations and recommending great attractions and restaurants. This hostel is a must-stay for travelers who enjoy interacting with others.

Convenient place to ski Rusutsu while not staying at the resort (and not paying resort prices). Shuttle service was run smoothly and even accommodated me when i screwed it up 1 time. Nothing but good things to say about the staff, and all amenity rooms were stocked and kept tidy. Shower room and adjacent corridor smelled a bit off but the rest of the place was fine. I would stay here again if i were committed to skiing Rusutsu, didnt rent a car, and didnt want to pay resort prices.
