Lake Notoro ViewsMany rooms overlook Lake Notoro, giving calm seasonal scenery right from the ryokan.

Who is this ryokan best for?

Recommended stay1 nightDining and lakeside calm are the main draw. Arrive mid-afternoon, soak before dinner, eat the seafood-focused meal, walk the lake edge or coral-grass area if in season, sleep early, and leave after breakfast for Abashiri sights or onward travel.
Trip-planning verdict: A good 1-night nature-and-seafood ryokan on Lake Notoro, best for drivers or travelers making a deliberate Abashiri countryside stop rather than using it as a long sightseeing base.

Know before booking

Car helps a lotThe setting is outside central Abashiri, so station-based travelers may find arrival, dining alternatives, and side trips inconvenient.
Limited town actionThis is a quiet lakeside area, not an onsen town with shops, nightlife, or many walkable restaurants.
Do not overstayTwo nights can work with a car and a relaxed pace, but many travelers will run out of nearby activity quickly.

Access, transport and nearby sights

This lakeside ryokan in Ubaranai is outside central Abashiri, so arrivals are usually easiest via Memanbetsu Airport or JR Abashiri Station followed by bus or taxi.

Distances are approximate and calculated from the ryokan coordinates. Travel times may vary depending on route, traffic and schedules.

Should you choose this ryokan?

A small lakeside ryokan in Ubaranai, Abashiri that stands out for regional seafood, Lake Notoro scenery, and a more intimate stay. It suits travelers who want local character and quiet more than polished big-hotel convenience.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points
  • Memorable Lake Notoro settingThe ryokan sits by Lake Notoro, and several rooms directly face the water. In early autumn, some lake-view rooms are especially appealing for the vivid coral grass scenery.
  • Standout kinki seafood mealsThis property strongly centers its dining around Okhotsk seafood, especially kinki prepared in multiple ways. If food is a main reason for your trip, this is one of its clearest strengths.
  • Private open-air baths availableIt offers reservable private open-air baths, which is great for couples or anyone who prefers a more secluded soak. This adds a more personal onsen-style experience than a standard shared bath only.
  • Small and personal atmosphereWith only a handful of rooms listed in local tourism information, the stay feels far more intimate than a large resort. That can mean a quieter night and more attentive hospitality.
  • Good fit for special travel needsIt is notably flexible for a ryokan, with advance-arranged shuttle support, English assistance, child-friendly meal options, and some pet-friendly room choices. That makes it easier for families or travelers who need a bit more practicality.
5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs
  • Far from central AbashiriThe ryokan is in Ubaranai rather than downtown Abashiri, so it is better for a quiet retreat than for easy walking access to the station, restaurants, or city sights. Travelers without a car may find the location less convenient.
  • Older building feelThe property openly notes that it is a renovated ryokan dating back decades, so some areas may feel more traditional and aged than modern luxury travelers expect. Charm is part of the appeal, but not everyone will read it as upscale.
  • No elevatorThe ryokan states that it does not have an elevator, and room layouts differ by building. This can be inconvenient for guests with heavy luggage, limited mobility, or a strong preference for step-free access.
  • Some baths cost extraThe private open-air baths are not included as a standard free feature and require an additional fee per session. If you were expecting unlimited private bath use, that may feel less generous.
  • Best scenery is seasonal and room-dependentThe most distinctive visual draw, especially the red coral grass season and full lake outlook, is strongest in certain months and in lake-facing rooms. If you book a non-lake room or visit off-season, the wow factor may be reduced.
