Chiisana Hotel Minori

Arriving at the northernmost point of Japan, I checked into this hotel. Before entering the room, you have to take off your shoes and wear slippers, so the room was very clean, but it seemed to have a slight odor. The front desk staff didn't speak English, so communication was a bit difficult. They charged me for the room once, but when I realized it was a mistake, they refunded it immediately. The hotel is right next to a small tourist attraction, and there's also a popular restaurant next to the hotel, where there were many people queuing up early in the morning!

This time, the main purpose was to visit Karafuto Shokudo, which is right next door. It was a 2-night, 3-day trip, and I enjoyed the hot springs in Wakkanai. On the first day, I got takeout sushi from a conveyor belt restaurant and ate it in my hotel room. I deliberately chose a Japanese-style room, so I spent my time eating and drinking indoors. I also love Hokkaido's Seicomart convenience store, so I bought some snacks there and thoroughly enjoyed myself. There was even a microwave, and ice was free. I will definitely stay there again during sea urchin season.
