haku hostel

The hostel is just steps away from Shiraoi train station and is situated on the main road through town. It has a check in desk, large common area with comfy seating, kitchen, laundry room, toilets and showers. There is a mix of dormitories and private rooms, spread over 2 floors. The female dormitory is just 4 beds, each capsule has a lamp and power outlets. There is space in the dorm for luggage and every dormitory guest has a private locker allocated to them. The hostel is kept spotlessly clean. Breakfast is available.

The staffs are very friendly and helpful. They speak English very well, and always provide a thorough information when needed. The place is so lovely and comfortable (and well-designed), and the breakfast OH MY GOD is very tasty and fulfilling (note that there is an extra charge for breakfast, and it's totally worth it). Be informed that during winter there is an extra charge of JPY 150 per day for heating and this is NOT a complaint. It is reasonable and understandable.

Good location and good price for the area. I saw foxes and deer in the neighborhood, and it was relatively close to the train station and the Ainu museum. You're also close to the beach, though it isn't the nicest. Good shared bathrooms, lounge and kitchen area.

Located in the heart of Shiraoi, it is only a 5 minute walk to the station. This hostel is quiet and has a wonderful and homey aesthetic with very clean kitchen, shower and toilet facilities. The staff were also very friendly. Would definitely recommend if you are wanting to spend some time in Shiraoi or are looking to do a day trip into Noboribetsu!

The place was pleasant and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities.
