Hotel Meguma

The attached cafe is worth checking out, the food was really delicious. Breakfast was great too, and the onsen looked brand new and very clean. The staff were kind and awesome overall. We barely know any Japanese, but they were very accommodating and went out of their way to help us. The only thing I wasn't so keen on was the mattresses, which felt a bit stiff. I'd definitely come back.

We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come again. The hotel, our room, and the baths were all very clean, and the staff were so kind and friendly. We booked a Japanese-Western-style room and a special charcoal-grilled kaiseki dinner set over an open hearth. Both dinner and breakfast were luxurious and plentiful, and left us completely full. From our room we could see Mount Rishiri, and the sunset was especially beautiful.

The reception and restaurant staff were all very kind, and it turned out to be a better place to stay than I'd expected. The food was delicious, and it costs less than staying around Wakkanai Station or Minami-Wakkanai. The bath is a little small, but it wasn't a problem when we went at a quiet time. There's also a large free parking lot, which was a plus. Given the location, you shouldn't expect much nearby. I think some of the other reviews are pretty harsh.

I stayed here in August during a motorcycle tour and found it very satisfying. The hotel had a calm feel, and the staff were kind and attentive. The breakfast portions really stood out. Each dish was carefully prepared, and there was so much food that someone with a small appetite might find it overwhelming. It's ideal if you want a hearty meal. I'd definitely recommend it.
