8/10 Good
"As a foreign solo traveller, the Japanese-style single rooms were more than enough, and not that much more expensive than the hostel shared room. The room was clean and had a good view of Mt Rishiri. The walls were thin, so I could hear the people in the room next to mine."

"I traveled from Las Vegas to Tokyo for a wedding. Then I flew up to Hokkaido and finally to Wakkanai. When I arrived at the hotel the attendant called someone to give me a ride to the konbini to gather supplies. She also scheduled a taxi for me the next morning. We exchanged gifts and I told her I’d be back with loved ones. If you are an adventurer this is a great place to put on your list. I only wish I could’ve tried the food in the restaurant."
