Hotel Abashiri Lakeside

We were extremely satisfied. The Japanese-Western style room overlooking the snowy scenery of Lake Abashiri was calm, spacious, and spotless. The Onsen, with its salt content, warmed us through, and we enjoyed a variety of baths at different temperatures. The meals featured many ingredients from the Okhotsk region and were delicious. Above all, the manager and all staff left a lasting impression with their attentiveness, kindness, and courteous manners. We would love to visit again in summer.P.S. If possible, it would be appreciated if the shop could stay open until about one hour after check-out time.

I stayed here to see the drift ice, explore Abashiri city, and view the frozen Lake Abashiri. I chose a reasonably priced Room on the national highway side. There’s no view, but Lake Abashiri is right behind the property, so I was satisfied. After check-in, I went down to the lakeside and thought about taking a walk, but there was so much snow that I sank up to my knees before reaching the shore, which made me uneasy, so I stopped. (Though I did see some footprints...) Dinner was very delicious, and since I don’t like mushrooms they kindly left them out of my hot pot. It was a small gesture, but I really appreciated it. The Shuttle Service from Abashiri Station was also convenient. On the way back there was another group with us; they didn’t get off at the station, so maybe they were taken to the icebreaker pier? I’d love to stay here again next time I visit eastern Hokkaido.
