Kiki Shiretoko Natural Resort
099-4351 Hokkaido, Shari, Utorokagawa 192, Japan – Great location - show map
spacious room, excellent kids room, excellent breakfast

We stayed in a Japanese style room, but it was beautifully refurbished and reasonably priced. Staff service and food was excellent. Onsen facilities were fabulous too. All in all a wonderful experience for a young family.

I liked the massive open space, the theater and the public baths. They have a souvenir shop that's pretty much got a lot of things if you didn't go to tourist center at the center of town. If you didn't get dinner for 5000 yen, there are restaurants cheap and close enough you don't have to pay 5000 yen.

We stayed for 3 nights and took the half board. The buffet was excellent with an abundance of dishes to choose from. Enjoyed the meals immensely.

Great upgrade on the room, from traditonnal Japanese room to family super wide suite! Excellent and various buffet at breakfast and lunch. Super nice location to discover Shiretoko

Large clean, comfortable and quiet room with beautiful views over the snow covered landscape all the way to the sea. Terrific onsen, especially the outdoor one in the snow. So nice at night time looking at the stars! Buffet breakfast and dinner were very good. Nice that they provided a shuttle bus to take us to the convenience store in the snow, as the hotel is a bit out of town.

Beautiful hotel with nice ocean view from our room, very pleasant surrounding. Good quality buffet break8and dinner, with lots of variety of food. Shuttle service to and from Utoro Onsen Shari bus station . Few minutes walk from Drift Ice Festival venue.

There is a public onsen in the hotel which is really great during the winter session. The breakfast buffet and dinner buffet is a bit costly but it was really great and a lot of nice selection.

The staff were really great and the rooms were lovely. It is worth spending a little more for the meal plan if you're driving a long way as the dinner was pretty impressive.

We stayed in a Natural Twin room which was comfortably and tastefully furnished and had everything one needs for a couple of nights. Nice quality yukata robes are worn throughout the resort. The room had a lovely view over the sea. The ground floor of the resort is beautiful with plenty of seating, outside views, large cinema room, laundry etc. The staff were very polite and welcoming. Parking across the road is very convenient. The onsen is large and luxurious!

-
- What's a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
-
- What's a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What's a yukata?
- A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
-
- How should I wear a yukata?
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- What's standard bathing etiquette?
- At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
