Shiretoko Daiichi Hotel

Great experience at this hotel. Was slight problem checking in but the front staff fixed it immediately! Room was perfect and all meals were fantastic. Amazing service.

The safest country on planet earth, with affordable cost of of living.

Property close to scenic area

Beautiful view. Great food. Excellent!

Please don’t stay here if you are foreigner and no car. The front desk staff just excused she can’t speak English then throw me the QR code to read by myself. I have been to many onsen hotels in Japan. The service in Shiretoko Daiichi is not comparable to the others. I can say it is the worst onsen hotel. The plates are sooo dirty at restaurant. I can’t believe it’s in Japan! The staff never greet me when they see me. Only plus point is the room is big. But they gave me a very noisy room which is next to onsen. I couldn’t sleep well cos I can hear people walk pass my room.

Nice view!

The room cleaning team did not change the yukata used by the previous guest. I found tissue paper in the inside pocket. It was disgusting.

Nice facility and staff. Good shuttle service and front lobby service.

Very spacious room and clean, except our room was located not near to the onsen. Really easy parking , and staff are friendly and helpful.

A huge but clean and well maintained property. The dinner and breakfast buffets were well stocked with varieties, quantities and quality to please most palates. The onsen is big and the outdoor pool offers a panoramic sea view. The view of the sunset is especially mesmerizing. Don’t miss it.

Still I think this hotel is the best hotel in Shari It’s worth every Penny you spend. Hotel staff are extremely kind

The staff of the hotel was more than perfect: we arrived in an awful rainstorm, and they sent us a shuttle, so we didn’t have to go up to the entrance. In another event, someone at the lobby helped me navigate a Japanese only website to get a reservation for a bus service. The hotel is on a hill, and the upwards road is around 20 minutes from the bus central. It’s much - much! - easier if you have a car. It can be grueling if you have big bags or if you spent the day hiking. The hotel itself is elegant and enormous. I didn’t use the onsen, but people seemed to love it. There is a laundry room, an arcade and a massage room, and also a store inside the hotel where you can buy snacks, souvenirs and drinks. The breakfast and dinner was fantastic buffet style event. They had great varieties of both western and Japanese style foods, plus desserts, soups and everything in between. Seriously, this was the best hotel dining we’ve ever had in Japan! The rooms were big (enormous even) and sunny, the bathroom was very nice and of course everything was very clean. One of my favourite stays in Japan, ever. (again: it’s much better if you have a car, and you don’t have to climb the roads after a full day of hiking.)

The hotel has humongous food options . The dinner and break fast options are amazing . Had stomach full of variety foods

Beautiful location, very large hotel , large room, huge windows with amazing view. I did not eat at the restaurant but used the large hot springs and enjoyed the many pools. The problem is that the hotel smells bad with musty carpets, elevators smell like smoke , the room carpet was very old and stained and the toilet room smelled horrible. The hotel is in desperate need of renovations and new carpets. It is so huge that it feels uncomfortable and unwelcoming.

Good spread of buffet items. Lovely sea view and hospitable staff.

it is nice place to stay

the hot spring area view is very good, you can see the lake. it is very beautiful

We especially would like to thank the front reception staff by the name of Lee. Lee-san has been a great help to us and she has made our check in at the hotel extremely easy and smooth. Thanks for sharing with us some of the valuable information about the national park which have save us some time and hassle. She is definitely a keeper. Shiretoko Daiichi hotel, if you see this, please compliment her on our behalf. She has somewhat made our stay at the hotel even more pleasant. ◡̎

The room is spacious, bright and clean. However, the private onsen is old and rusty. The sink, faucet, metal handle bars and anything metal around the onsen is corroding pretty badly. I turned the faucet handle on the faucet and my hand smelled like rust even after washing it. There is also rust on the tile floor. The private onsen needs full renovation and shouldn't be used by anyone in these conditions.

The room size is generous. However, if you book in winter and the weather is not good, especially windy days, and your room is facing the ocean, the sound/noise of waves and tides are too penetrating. Breakfast and dinner are buffet style with generous spread. However, I feel the heating is not good and the food are mostly not warm, especially for dinner. The location is on a small hill/slope and not very convenient to walk around. It’s better to come with self-driving/car. The town is small.
