혼자 여행하는 분이라면 추천드려요

최고의 숙소였습니다. 일본 가정집의 정취를 느끼시려면 꼭 여기에 숙박하세요! 숙소에 사장님 옛날사진들을 볼 수 있는데, 여기가 얼마나 시간이 흘러 추억이 쌓였는지 가늠할 수 있어요. 허그상과 모모상도 정말 귀여워요! 객실마다 공간이 충분히 넓고 샤워시설도 적당합니다. 그리고 아침식사 서비스 또한 아주 좋았습니다

Had an amazing stay! Loved our relaxing time there and the city was beautiful. Went on a lovely hike. Hug and Momo were so sweet and such a great treat! The hosts were so welcoming and also had great recommendations for our trip going forward! Would love to stay again!

즐거운곳

친구들과 하룻밤 묵었어요. 일본 특유의 감성이 곳곳에 잘 녹아 있었고 인테리어가 정말 아기자기해요. 아침에 비용을 조금만 추가해서 훌륭한 음식을 먹을 수 있었어요. 그리고 매우 친절해요. 드라이기나 소형 치약이 있었습니다.

Breakfast really delicious I felt cozy in Kotatsu 아침밥 맛있고 든든해요 꼭 드세요! 아기자기한 그릇에 차려주시는데 너무 일본 갬성 그잡채 코타츠 있어서 좋았어요 강아지 고양이도 귀여워요 일본 가정집 난방이라 추울 수 있어요

또 가고싶은 숙소

관광지랑 거리도 가깝고 위치도 미나미오타루역, 오타루역 사이에 있어서 딱 좋았어요. 위생 상태도 좋고 숙소에 묵는 내내 친절하게 대해주셔서 편하게 지낼 수 있었어요. 그리고 강아지와 고양이가 특히 너무너무 귀여워요. 아침밥도 정말 맛있었습니다!! 다음에도 또 가고 싶어요

정말 좋았습니다! 혼자 여행와서 쓸쓸하신 분들이 머무시기 좋은 숙소 입니다. 강아지 허그와 고양이 모모가 정말 귀엽고 마유미상의 아침밥이 정말 맛있으며 헬퍼님과 사장님은 친절하시지만 프라이빗한 시간을 매우 존중해주시기 때문에 편안하게 묵고왔습니다 단점이 있다면 목조 건물이라 바닥에서 소리가 나고 언덕 배기에 있어서 눈이 쌓이면 캐리어를 끌고 찾기가 어렵다는 것 정도
YEWON, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great little guesthouse in Otaru. Easy 20 minute flat walk from Otaru station, or a 10 minute walk up a slight hill from Miniami Otaru. Supermarket, convenience stores, and public bathhouse all within 10 minute walk from the hostel. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Bunk bed was comfortable and spacious. Toilet was a little small and ceiling was quite low in some places, but nothing far from the norm of a traditional Japanese household. Would definitely stay again.

A warming experience

This was one of the best places I've stayed. The people here are so nice and friendly and make you feel like you're part of their little family in the house. It almost feels like a homestay experience. One time I missed the last train so I returned the next morning and they were all worried about me. The place is very clean and has all the amenities you need. Highly recommended!

The hostel has "character" and I really liked it. I think a cup of tea in the morning would be great.

혼자서 오타루에 1박묵었습니다 경험한 바로는 오타루관광지보다 여기가 더 기억에 남네요. 하코다테에서 오타루온다고 저녁늦게 도착해서 들어가자마자 주인분이 캐리어를 들어주시고 친절히 안내해주셨습니다. 인테리어는 너무 좋았고 일본가정집이었습니다. 여러 만화책도 있어서 좋았고 날씨 좋은 밤에 거실에서 보는 바깥풍경은 너무 좋더군요. 거기다 고양이 모모와 개 하쿠짱 귀여웠습니다... 뭔가 1박하기엔 아깝다는 느낌이 들더군요.(뭐 오타루 둘러보니 그렇게 크게 볼건 없었지만..) 난방이 좀 안되는터라 추웠습니다. 겨울엔 오는건 좀 별로일것 같네요. 마지막으로 주인장님 가실때 사진찍어주시고 아침 조식을 해주신 마유미씨 잘 먹었습니다.
