Rumah tumpangan di Shari

大浴場があるのでこのホテルを選びました。22時以降なら小さい子はいないだろうと思い浴室へ行ったのですが、２歳くらいの子が母親と居ました。入場時間に決まりはないので、少しがっかりしてながらも、まず洗身していると、子供が大きな声で騒いでいます。内容は長くなるので端折りますが、母親の対応次第で大きな声を出させずに済む内容でした。次に子供が「おしっこ」と言い出しました。浴室を出てすぐの場所にトイレがあるのに、母親はその場でさせました。排水溝や隅に向かうでもなく（勿論それでもアウトですが）、洗い場で子供（女の子）は立ったまま排尿します。母親はそれに向けてシャワーをかけています。距離はあったものの、方向は私向きに！唖然として、怒鳴りたい気持ちでしたが、子供がトラウマになったりしてはいけないと思い我慢しました。立った状態で排尿し、そこにシャワーをかけて、一体どの範囲まで飛び散っているのでしょう。楽しみにしていた露天風呂に行くには、その現場の横を通らねばならないので諦めました。ほかの客が居てもこんなことを平気でする大人がいるとは。ホテルの方がどれだけ綺麗に清掃をしても、こんな客で汚されるのだから、たまりませんね。 　もう一つは朝食ビュッフェでの出来事です。開店してすぐでしたが、結構並んでいました。ある男の方が、味噌汁の具（わかめ？）用の小さいトングを落としました。すぐに拾って、スタッフを探しているのか、きょろきょろしていましたが、スタッフの姿はなく、そのまま具の横にトングを置いていました。そして席に着くと、スタッフを探しに行くでもなく、食事を摂り始めました。何人かが見ていたと思いますが、誰も何も言いません。間に10人位は居たと思いますが、私の順番の時には、そのトングは具の中に入り、使われていました。コロナの拡大もあり、衛生面にはとても気をつかっている状況でこれです。この場合、すぐに声を掛けられるスタッフが、食堂内に居なかったのも問題かとは思います。 　せっかくキレイなホテルで、部屋も広く、接客も問題がなかったのに、わずか一泊二日の間にこれほどマナーの悪い人たちを見ると、ホテルの印象が悪くなってしまいます。

This resort has an outdoor foot spa which is amazing in the winter! Loved the sunset view indoor onsen too. Food is fantastic and they make the most delectable croissants and other pastries. Must have. Beds and rooms and comfortable, clean and luxurious. The only complaint I have is that we accidentally went to a wrong floor of the hotel and it opened up to a nearly completely dark long walkway along an unused area of the hotel. This could be dangerous. Other than that, everything is good. The staff could be friendlier to non-Japanese speaking guests.

This is a typical ’boom & bust’ hotel, like the thousands of similar hotels you see all over Japan. It’s enormous, with lobbies, restaurands an common areas the size of airport hangars, huge rooms with separate tatami areas and massive onsens. All of which is in various stage of decay. This particular hotel is set back from the harbour, up on the hillside, presumably for tsunami reasons, which means you have to drive everywhere, to the boat tours in the harbour and the really nice little seafood shacks on the waterfront. The hotel offers, like all Japanese hotels, a myriad of ’settu’ options, all very confusing: breakfast, dinner and onsen package. Ditto with unlimited sake. Lunch and onsen and a spa treatment; don’t take any of these. The food is terrible by Japanese standards, and the gigantic restaurant is more like a East German Communist Party Headquarters canteen circa 1953 than a restaurant. You know whst I mean. Our room was huge, but with peeing wallpaper, slightly smelly damp wall-to-wall carpeting and (my pet hate) one of those pre-fab plastic bathrooms which has all the solidity of a bouncy castle. Our friends stayed at the Kitanokobushi Shiretoko Hotel, and I wish we had too. This is actually built this millennium and is right on the water. I highly recommend you stay there instead. As for me, I am thoroughly fed up with these depressing, smelly 1980’s concrete monsters.

My wife and adult son rented an apartment-like unit for three days. Quite spacious, with a kitchen, dining room and two large bedrooms, one tatami and the other with a king-sized bed. All we lacked was an ocean view. The staff was cordial and helpful and we felt welcomed. The hotel is stuck off in a corner of Utoro and was not so easy to find at first. Yet, Utoro is small and getting around was easy. Would I stay here again? You bet! In a snap! Great place.

I wanted a place where I could get away from it all and this was certainly it. The rooms was cozy, the staff were amazingly friendly and accommodating, and the food was the best I've ever had at any hotel in the world. The view from my room was of the ocean and there are lots of day activities to do. I would recommend staying there with a car. Wonderful and warm.

Our main concern is to constantly provide our guests with meals exclusively cooked from fresh and local ingredients from Shiretoko, such as locally caught seasonal seafood. We cook our meals simply but generously, because we want our guests to enjoy the authentic taste of the ingredients themselves. Here you can also enjoy a pleasant soak in our open-air bath filled with natural hot spring water, which will relax your body and free your mind, while enjoying the beautiful views of Shiretoko's nature. To make sure that our guests will fully enjoy the worldly famous beauty of Shiretoko's amazing nature, we will welcome you with heartwarming hospitality and try to make your stay memorable.
