Everything was perfect. The staff were amazing! Welcoming and kind and helped me with everything I needed. Even more than that, the guesthouse owner suggested to take me to a place I wanted to go in their car without asking for anything in return. They showed me the beautiful places of Otaru and because of them I had an amazing experience! :D I definitely recommend Wa No Kaze for everyone who comes to Otaru and Hokkaido! Bonus: the main tourist attractions are 15 minutes walk from the guesthouse!

    Amazing hosts, they were super kind and gave us some great recommendations! Comfortable room and the hot bathtub was great after being out in the cold all day. The house is just a few steps from a bus stop so even though it’s not in the city center, you can get there easily.

    It’s not my first time visiting Otaru, but Stone and Iron made me wanna visit Otaru again! I was already very excited when I booked this historical stone house. It is more amazing than what I expected! The owner Hiro is a super nice host and excellent chef. We enjoyed so much having our dinner in his lovely stone house. Food is fantastic! We had a good sleep as it’s so quiet. The stone house looks stunning in the snow!

    Plum House is a great location for Otaru. It is quiet, quaint, clean, and very well equipped. The garden is sumptuous, and the staff available all day. At that price, I don;t think there is anything better. I strongly recommend!

    Although she spoke hardly any English, the host was very friendly and polite. The room is a bit better than it appears in the pictures, with effective aircon and great wifi. All travellers overnight needs are catered for very well and it is kept clean and remained quiet over my 2 nights there for a good night's rest.

    Quiet house, close to the city centre and the train station (Minami-Otaru). There're also bus stops and nice restaurants/ cafés in the vicinity. I stayed for three nights and never saw the host, but communication was easy.
