Hotel Kifu Club Shiretoko

Excellent family run ryokan/hotel. For non Japanese speakers this presents more of a challenge overcome by going to the mega hotel down the road. Otherwise the onsen is enough and the traditional Japanese meal is off the charts.

This family run elegant hotel is the best, the staff and owners are friendly and warm-hearted, the hotel decoration is unique and elegant, very clean, the food is delicious and fresh. The location is about 10-15 minutes from the bus terminal but they can pick you up for free. All rooms are facing the ocean. The shampoo and body wash is Pola brand. My only tiny complaint is the Onsen water temperature is a bit high that you need to slowly get into the water. I will come back if I visit Shiretoko otoro next time. Btw, there are staffs who can speak English and chinese.

This is a fantastic little family run hotel. We enjoyed every minute we stayed here. Breakfast was amazing, rooms were spotless. Wonderful views over the sea particularly at sunset. Dinner was the nicest we have had in Japan. Nice private outdoor onsen which can be booked or there is a public onsen too. This was really a wonderful traditional japanese experience. On site parking was a bonus as we drove. Very close to Shiretoko National Park. Would recommend a stay here. Staff were very helpful and kind
