Nothing except that ventilation along the passageway between the onsen and reception area could be better.

The hotel is very cosy and facilities were very clean and nice. The food is excellent and staff were all so friendly and helpful.

outdoor onsen was pretty hot with the summer sun so i would recommend booking in later at night. also not much of a view in indoor/outdoor onsens.

clean room and facilities. good food (esp seafood)! only gripe with the food is that we had tempura which we had to fry on our own (slightly more meddlesome). big spacious rooms with a great view and stylish interior. the view in front were stunning - definitely go for a walk along road in front.

The curtains are thin, room is bright by 4am :(

Hotel Kifu Club is located along the seafront. Everywhere in the hotel is very clean. It is a family run hotel with 2 lovely old folks & their children. The meals provided changed everyday which we were looking forward :)

The only small nuance that comes to mind are the duvet covers that could be a little bit more comfortable. Our duvets have escaped the covers too easily!

Amazing place to stay right besides Shiretoko national park. Exceptional hospitality, delicious food that was different every day (we stayed 2 nights), and wonderful onsen facilities. Would love to come back and stay again. Also gorgeous sunset views from the windows!

Nothing, the experience and room were absolutely great and comfortable.

We are a group of two vegetarians and stayed for two nights. The meals (breakfast and dinner) are definitely vegetarian-friendly Japanese-style dishes. If you are a vegetarian, we highly recommend this accommodation as they are very accommodating to our requests and considerate in preparing the meals. Shiretoko is known for its seafood, so finding vegetarian meals can be very difficult. However, at this place, their vegetarian dishes are spectacular. Additionally, the hosts, an elderly couple and other staff, are very friendly and kind. Thank you all so much for the wonderful stay.

I can't find anything we didn't like!

Everything - location is great, gorgeous sights of the shore and the sunset, room is nice, food is both high quality and inventive, and above all the family who owns and manages the place is very warm and friendly, and speaks good English. And the private, outdoor 'chartered' onsen was a delightful experience.

The corridor leading to the public onsen smells of food which clings to your clothes and hair. After using the onsen, we have to make a mad dash through the corridor to avoid the cooking smell.

The hotel is super cosy and staff very friendly. It’s a family run hotel and the food served were so delicious. Facilities spotlessly clean and nice. Enjoyed the fabulous sunset view from my window and we even spotted 2 deers at the outdoor onsen (reservation needed).

They should provide rice and miso soup with the Japanese dinner set.

A lovely small hotel facing the Sea of Okhotsk where you can see a beautiful sunset right in front of your room. The Japanese-style room is spacious with a large window facing the sea. The private open bath is excellent. At dinner, you get the chance to make a variety of tempura by yourself which is kind of fun. This hotel is not far from Oshinkoshin Waterfalls and the Shiretoko Nature Center and the five lakes. I will definitely come back again, perhaps in mid-February to see the ice floes in front of this hotel.

Minor point: Half boarding provided was good but there isn’t any choice of food.

Great sea view, very friendly staff, cosy traditional Japanese feel.

This is a wonderful place, well managed and with love. The architecture of the house is modern with traditional Japanese elements. The rooms are comfortable with beautiful views. The dinner and the breakfast is delicious. It is conveniently located to explore splendid Shiretoko and to have a unique taste of Japanese hospitality.

The dinner was sublime. The best sushi I’ve ever eaten. The hosts were lovely people. So helpful and friendly. The outside onsen was a great bonus.

Guest toilet in an area requiring shoes to be off.

Clean, warm and spacious. Had everything we needed for a 4- day stay. They even help to brush snow off your car every morning!

Can't think of anything really If you were being picky, I guess the roadside location is not ideal, but they're so helpful & friendly that you forget about it

Kindness of the family and staff. Konichiwa & arigato gozaimas to them all! Variety & quality of the meals.

Our best stay in Japan so far. We stayed three nights and enjoyed exquisite breakfasts and dinner, each one of them different. Personnel on-site created a family environment and helped us with our limited proficiency in Japanese witht their mastery of English. The private spa was greatly appreciated. Excellent base to explore the region.

Rest of hotel could do with a bit of ventilation/ airing.

Quaint family run hotel full of charm and character. Our tatami room had a splendid seaview. Breakfast and dinners were such a treat to savour Japanese cuisine. Private onsen available. Absolutely love this hotel.

Everything was great but the beds might be a bit hard for western backs ;)

Breakfast and dinner were delicious and the location is really convenient to explore Shiretoko National Park. The onsen is simple but really nice.
