Hotel berhampiran Niseuen, Biratori

1st up you have to take your shoes off to enter, which is very annoying. 2nd there was no shower in my room only toilet and baisin. They told me I had to use public bath instead. I refused so I had to pay an extra 2,700 JPY to use private shower in another room. They told me restaurant stopped at 21:30, but it actually stopped at 20:00, luckily I got there just in time for dinner. The room also didn’t have a proper bed and I had to sleep on the floor “Japanese style” which was uncomfortable. The final straw was as I was checking out they asked me for more money for tax despite me pre-paying on Trip.com I didn’t argue as it was a small amount of money but considering the room rate was very high already and they made me pay extra for a shower it just seemed like 1 too many ways to rip me off.

二風谷コタンに近くてとてもよかったです ゲストハウスのご主人とアイヌについての話や近くにあるアイヌ工芸の職員さんが集まっている施設での職人さんとのお話がとても興味深く、ゲストハウス内にあるアイヌについての資料も興味を惹かれました ゲストハウス内は清潔で北欧風の白、緑、青を基調とした空間で所々に北海道やアイヌを感じる写真や楽器、絵が置かれていました
