The room had no lounge to sit in for reading. There were two chairs that you be used for sitting at a bench, but they weren't really suitable for leaning back and relaxing

Very close location close to the Shiretoko National Park. Lovely views of the sea. Well appointed facilities. Two good onsens, one outside. Excellent breakfast and dinner meals served. Staff are very welcoming and helpful.

Location just opposite the sea with great view.. We have a room facing the sea and had fantastic sunset shots. Staff are courteous, and very friendly even though we don't speak Japanese, they tried their best to explain in English during our kaiseki dinner. A place that you can feel the sincerity of the host.

It’s a small hotel running by the family, who are so nice and polite.

Perhaps having a little more space moving about in the general areas would have made it relaxing for me, but the accommodation is small, and the room cost was reasonable compared to others at the time (Obon period).

Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Very customised service and in Japanese style. The staff was excellent and welcoming. They invited us to use the personal onsen and it was very nice.

My partner wasn't keen on the hard, traditional style pillow, however on request, the hotel provided a soft European pillow.

Lovely place with outdoor onsens you can book for a private bath. Also indoor male and female baths. Great food and lovely staff. Spacious.

Service was very good. Staff were always friendly and helpful. The rooms have a wonderful view of the sea where you can catch the sunset. The hotel is a contemporary take on a Japanese Ryokan. Food was interesting and enjoyable. Onsen was clean well maintained.

The location is good. Perfect for traveling around Shiretoko and you can see the sunset in front of the hotel. The view was very beautiful. The room was spacious and clean. Hotel staffs were very nice and super polite. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. I have a great memory here.

Probably wished I had a softer pillow, but I have no other complaints.

Even for a country with a high level of service in the hotel industry, the staff were very kind to us.

Nothing within 500m radius

Nice place overlooking the sea. Room is big and clean, with a proper aircon for summer days. Futon was comfortable

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.
