Canal Inn Otaru Furukawa

We had another very comfortable stay.We were soothed by everyone’s smiles and warm hospitality, the delicious meals, and the Onsen.The large public bath has everything you need, so it’s great that you can go empty-handed—it’s so easy and convenient.The Niagara wine we enjoyed in the lounge was also excellent!It was my sister’s first time at Otaru Furukawa, and she was very satisfied.Thank you as well for taking a two-shot photo of us in front of the Hotel!We usually enjoy a quiet couples’ getaway, but this time we left our car with you before check-in and enjoyed sightseeing in Otaru for the first time in a while.Furukawa is in a wonderful location right by the canal, and the view from our Room was lovely.Kojohama, Jozankei, and Otaru each have their own unique charm, and they’ve made us love Furukawa even more.We would love to visit again.

This was my third stay, and every time I’m amazed by the thoughtful attention shown to guests.Even though I was traveling solo and only had breakfast included, I was treated so warmly, which I truly appreciate.As soon as I parked, a staff member came right out and carried my luggage for me.I even had a laptop with me, so it was quite heavy, but they carried it cheerfully and with great care.A staff member I’d spoken with before remembered my name and kindly took the time to greet me even while busy cleaning—it made me very happy.Last time, when Kanaru suddenly wandered off, they gently reassured me by saying, “It’s because a staff member who gives him treats just walked by,” which really warmed my heart.This time I got to pet him a lot, and I was also glad to hear more stories about Kanaru.Even late at night when heading toward the parking lot, there were staff members at the front desk and near the entrance/exit area, which made me feel safe.At breakfast as well, the pleasant greetings and guidance put me in a great mood,and having someone serve rice and miso soup made me feel at ease—I didn’t have to worry about spilling anything.I also overheard them telling another guest, “A window seat has opened up—would you like to move over?” and it really showed how much they want guests to be happy.(I understand this depends on timing and available seating.)At checkout too, they carried my heavy luggage all the way to my car—I was impressed until the very end.There were countless other thoughtful touches and support that I can’t possibly list them all.The more I visit, the more comfortable it feels here.Among Accommodations with high Reviews online there are some where you wonder why—but this place is the opposite.I honestly think 5.00 would be fair; in reality it exceeds its Reviews!As soon as I got home, I already wanted to come back again.
