We stayed here for three nights with my parents in their 80s, a couple, and a high school student from the Kanto region. It was my first time staying at a private lodging, but it was clean, the storage was spacious, and overall we had a very comfortable stay. It was especially helpful that we could do laundry and dry it every day. There was also no check-in or check-out, so we could use the room immediately, and we could leave our rental car next to the entrance, which made my parents happy. It was also nice that it was close to the interchange and station. However, I think there were a few amenities. It may be enough for inbound tourists, but Japanese people should be careful. There were no Japanese tableware (rice bowls, soup bowls) for 5 people, a bath tub, bath detergent, dish towels or kitchen paper, a TV or reading light in the room on the first floor, and a mop on the second floor. Instead, there were plenty of mugs, towels, and bath towels, so we used them instead. There was no rice cooker, but the gas stove had a rice cooking function, so we were able to cook delicious Hokkaido rice. It would have been nice to have another pot with a lid, a frying pan lid, and a high pillow. The bedroom was too dark, making it difficult to fall asleep, and the morning sun filtering in through the blinds meant I was waking up after 4am. It was a trip that really gave me a taste of Hokkaido, including the biker gangs on the national highway.
