    Spotlessly clean. The manager was extremely kind. Very nice kitchen area and showers that warmed quickly. Every room and hallway had a space heater, perfect for the wintertime I was visiting.

    Lovely staff, very cozy atmosphere in the common room. Shower room was the largest I've seen on any trip to Japan, which is excellent for taller people. Beds were comfortable and had good privacy. Excellent value for location.

    The house mom is super nice and welcoming. Easy check in, no check out procedures. Good location in Lake Toya (not that it seems big enough for there to be a bad location). Beds were nice, extra pillows available to grab. Storage felt especially...
