Shiretoko Utoro Onsen × Highly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

On a friend’s recommendation, I stayed here. They told me, “If you’re going to Shiretoko, you have to stay here,” and I didn’t really get it at first—but once I arrived, I understood how wonderful this Hotel is. First of all, the parking lot is close by. It may seem minor, but when you’re carrying travel luggage, it’s absolutely essential. Then there’s the entrance and the spacious interior with a view of Shiretoko’s harbor in the distance—it immediately got me excited. After settling into my Room, I explored the property. I enjoyed the all-inclusive snacks and wine that I’d been looking forward to. Some places offer mediocre drinks and snacks—but not here. Every single item was delicious. Not wanting to overdo it and ruin dinner, I kept it reasonable… and then came dinner. I went in without doing any research beforehand—amazing, delicious, all-you-can-eat, and impossible to try everything. Each dish was exceptionally well made. I’ve been to many all-inclusive places before, but this one has become a favorite. I also really enjoyed both the baths and breakfast. And I had the chance to fully appreciate the sound from the Paragon speakers as well. The next day, I planned to go whale watching in Rausu, but it was canceled due to rough seas. Still—I’m determined to come back for a retry in Shiretoko. When I do, I’ll definitely stop by again. Thank you very much.

This Hotel made our stay in Shiretoko even more special. This time, we were kindly upgraded to a better Room, and we were truly moved by the unexpected thoughtfulness. The guest Room was spacious and comfortable, with a calm atmosphere that let us fully enjoy our time away. What left the strongest impression was the large public bath. It was roomy and very clean, and soaking at a relaxed pace was the perfect way to ease away the day’s fatigue. All of the staff were consistently kind, attentive, and professional while maintaining just the right sense of distance, which allowed us to feel at ease throughout our stay. The entire Accommodation had a serene ambiance, and we felt it enriched our time in Shiretoko even more. This is a Hotel we would definitely like to return to when we visit Shiretoko again. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay.

The food, Room, and large public bath were all perfect! This was my first stay in two years, and the food was just as delicious as before! Please let me stay again next time!

It was great that we could use the bath anytime. The open-air bath uses natural hot spring water, and the temperature was very hot, but it left my skin feeling smooth. The Room was also very spacious. There were power outlets next to the bed, which was a nice touch. However, the air conditioner vent was directly overhead, so it felt cold. The dining venue was very large, so even with many guests it didn’t feel too crowded. There was a wide variety of dishes and free drinks, so we were very satisfied. All of the desserts were especially delicious.

First of all, the location is great. The all-inclusive plan is excellent. The Room was clean and had an open-air bath, a washing machine, a mini kitchen, and a microwave.

Stayed here for the last night of a 3-night trip to Shiretoko. The new wing's Japanese-style room was clean and well-maintained. Meals were more relaxing compared to other hotels, and dishes like simmered fish were incredibly delicious. Buffets can feel hectic! The Onsen bath, though showing some age, provided a calm and enjoyable experience. The staff were cheerful and left a great impression. I would stay here again if I visit this area!

We stayed as a family of three. The spaciousness of the facility was more surprising than we imagined. Since we traveled around various places from Wakkanai, the washing machine was a great help. We prepared dinner with ingredients purchased in Kitami. We used the bath and breakfast services at Kitakobushi. It was nice to spend a quiet weekend. The check-in process was a bit troublesome, and we struggled because the entrance wouldn't open even when we needed to use the restroom. It felt easier to check in at Kitakobushi. We've experienced renting an entire building a few times, but Lantern Shiretoko offered a wonderful space. Thank you for the great experience.

The Room was clean, but I was disappointed that a distinctive odor often associated with foreign guests remained. I understand that people from many countries stay here, but as a Japanese guest, the smell was noticeable. Since sensitivity to odors varies by person, some may not mind it, but I would like you to check for any lingering smells after each cleaning.\nOther than that, there were no issues, and I would like to stay again.
