Unbelievable Kushiro Guest House: Proof You NEED to Stay Here! (Seriously, Just Book It!)
Okay, listen up, because I need to tell you about Unbelievable Kushiro Guest House. Forget the perfectly polished hotel reviews, the sterile descriptions, the predictable five-star ratings. This place? It's a whole different vibe. And honestly, it's magical.
First Impressions (and a Slightly Embarrassing Confession)
From the second I arrived, I felt… well, seen. Okay, maybe I'm projecting a little, but the doorman (yes, a doorman, fancy!) didn't bat an eye when I, after a 30-hour travel day, accidentally tripped over my own feet getting out of the taxi. He just smiled, helped me up, and said, "Welcome home!" (Okay, maybe not "home," but you get the idea).
Accessibility & Safety - More Than Just Buzzwords
Let's get the practical stuff out of the way. This place is serious about accessibility. Elevators, check. Facilities for disabled guests? Absolutely. They've really thought about this. My friend uses a wheelchair, and she had no issues at all navigating the property. The Car park [free of charge] was a lifesaver, too. Plus, in these uncertain times, the Cleanliness and safety are top-notch. They’re practically obsessed with it, in the best way. Hand sanitizer everywhere, daily disinfection in common areas, staff trained in safety protocol… it's like they've transformed the place into a germ-fighting fortress. I even saw them using anti-viral cleaning products and professional-grade sanitizing services. Seriously, I felt safer there than in my own apartment! I also really appreciated the CCTV in common areas and outside property - that peace of mind is priceless.
The Room: My Little Sanctuary (and My Midnight Pizza)
Right, the room. I swear, I could live there. Air conditioning that actually worked, a window that opens (crucial for a claustrophobe like me), and a supremely comfy extra long bed. But the real kicker? The mini bar! Loaded with all sorts of goodies – and a selection of snacks I "needed" after a long day of exploring. The room service [24-hour] was an absolute godsend. I ordered pizza at… ahem… 2 AM one night. No judgment! And it was delicious. The fact that they offered vegetarian and western cuisine options meant I could eat what I wanted for once! There was even free Wi-Fi in my room and the Internet Access – Wireless was rock solid. Seriously, I had no trouble streaming my dumb cat videos (don’t judge—they're important).
Amenities: From Blissful Spa to… Actually, Just Blissful Everything
Okay, let's talk relaxation. Because Unbelievable Kushiro caters to every whim of the stressed-out traveler. I’m a HUGE spa person. And the Spa/Sauna combination? Chef's kiss. The Body scrub was heavenly (even if I did feel a little self-conscious afterward). But the real winner was the Pool with a view. It overlooked the most incredible, breathtaking scenery. I spent hours just floating around, staring up at the sky. It was utterly rejuvenating. They also had an outdoor pool, a gym, a foot bath, a steam room and access to a fitness center.
Food, Glorious Food! (And My Accidental Soup Adventure)
Okay, the food. Prepare yourself. The Asian breakfast was a delightful way to start the day, but the Breakfast [buffet] was the real star. A truly epic spread (I'm talking multiple trips to the buffet, no shame), with everything from fresh fruit to amazing pastries. And the coffee! Seriously, I could write a love letter to their coffee shop. One evening, I accidentally ordered soup from the a la carte restaurant and after a long day of adventure, I ate the whole bowl. The salad in restaurant was also refreshing!
The Staff: The Heart and Soul of the Place
This is where Unbelievable Kushiro REALLY shines. The staff are not just friendly; they’re genuinely caring. From the concierge who helped me plan my day trips (the concierge service was invaluable) to the housekeeping staff who left cute little origami animals on my bed, they made me feel welcome. I swear, they must be trained in magic or something. I always felt like the daily housekeeping team was super friendly! The Laundry service was a lifesaver after a week of hiking. They even had a doctor/nurse on call!
Things to Do: You WON'T Be Bored (Unless You Want To Be)
Of course, there are tons of things to do around Kushiro. The hotel can arrange airport transfer (thank goodness, I hate navigating public transport), offer taxi service, or you can use their car park [on-site] if you have a car. The luggage storage was also super convenient. They even have meetings and Seminars for those on business.
The Little Things That Make a Big Difference (and a Minor Rant)
- The Non-Smoking Rooms: THANK GOD. Seriously, I can't stand the smell of cigarettes.
- The Blackout Curtains: Essential for a good night's sleep (or a good afternoon nap, no judgment).
- The Slippers: A small touch, but so appreciated.
- Cashless Payment Service: Very convenient.
- The Terrace: Perfect for people-watching (and planning your next adventure).
- The Gift/Souvenir shop: Great for last-minute presents.
Okay, My One Tiny Complaint (and Why It Doesn't Matter)
Alright, I'm going to be really picky here. (And I'm probably being unfair.) The internet speed, while reliable in my room and the Wi-Fi in public areas, maybe wasn't quite lightning-fast. BUT! Honestly, who cares? I was there to experience life, not scroll through Instagram. Besides, a little downtime from the digital world was probably good for me.
The Verdict: Book It Now! (Seriously, Stop Reading and Just Do It!)
Unbelievable Kushiro Guest House isn't just a hotel; it's an experience. It's a place where you can relax, recharge, and feel truly cared for. It's where I want to spend my next vacation, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the amazing staff to the incredible amenities and the commitment to safety and cleanliness, Unbelievable Kushiro Guest House has it all. Forget your doubts, forget your hesitation… Just book it. You won't regret it.

Guest House Proof Point & The Unfolding Mystery of Kushiro: A Messy Itinerary
Okay, so here's the deal. I'm at Proof Point Guest House in Kushiro, Japan. Sounds zen, right? Let me tell you, zen ain't always on the menu. This itinerary? It's less "bullet points of perfection" and more "how-to-wing-it-while-drinking-too-much-sake" guide. Proceed with caution, and maybe a healthy dose of skepticism.
Day 1: Arrival – Hello, Kushiro! (And Jet Lag Hell)
Morning (ish): Landed in Kushiro Airport. God, what a blur. The flight felt like a thousand tiny needles poking my brain. The airport? Tiny, adorable, and felt like I'd stepped into a Studio Ghibli film. Except with more vending machines. Anecdote: Almost bought a Pocari Sweat just because the vending machine lights looked so pretty. Resisted. Proud moment.
Afternoon: Errands, including visiting the local Lawson. Found proof that japan's convenience stores are superior. The train into town was a slightly jarring experience – wide open fields, sleepy locals, and my brain desperately trying to translate everything into English. Check-in at Proof Point. The owner, a woman named Hana (or maybe it was Haru? Jet lag…), was super friendly, but the room was… compact. Like, really compact. But hey, at least it's clean! Quirky Observation: The futon felt like sleeping on a cloud. A very, very thin cloud.
Evening: Wandering. Got utterly lost. Found a ramen place. The ramen? Divine. The language barrier? Hilarious. Pointed at things. Made animal noises. Somehow, got a bowl of the most amazing Chashu Ramen of my life. Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated joy. I think I cried a little from happiness. Impression - The first meal made me feel good.
Night: Crashed. Jet lag finally won. Woke up at 3 am convinced I'd been trapped in a giant, fluffy sock.
Day 2: Kushiro Wetlands & The Search for the Tancho
Morning: Breakfast at the guest house. Toast. Jam. Coffee. Standard. More importantly, I was finally getting my bearings. Decided, foolishly, to try and explore the Kushiro Wetlands on my own. Rambling Interlude: The wetlands! Supposed to be this incredible, untouched landscape. Pictures looked promising, you know, full of cranes. I really wanted to see a Tancho (Japanese Crane). My entire trip's raison d'être, basically.
Afternoon: Hiking (or more accurately, slightly panicky walking). Got slightly lost. The views were stunning but I got bitten by at least 10 mosquitoes. The sign language for “lost” and “mosquito-bitten” is apparently universal. Imperfection: Didn’t see a single crane. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Emotional Reaction: A low-grade, simmering disappointment.
Evening: Found a tiny izakaya (Japanese pub) tucked away on a side street. Ordered whatever seemed interesting. The fish? Fresh. The sake? Flowing. The conversation (via gestures and Google Translate)? Surprisingly engaging. Doubling Down: I spent the entire evening chatting with the owner and two older men who were extremely welcoming. Got a glimpse of real life. Anecdote: I think they told me a ghost story. Or maybe it was just the sake talking. Either way, I was terrified.
Night: Staggered back to Proof Point. Slept like a log, despite the ghost story (probably).
Day 3: Fish Market & A Ramen Redux
Morning: Attempted to visit the Washo Market. It's a Fish Market famous for "Kattsu-don" and a bowl of rice with almost every fresh fish on top of a bowl on the market. Quirky Observation: The market was bustling. The fish looked amazing. The smell? Intoxicating. And I was so overwhelmed I could hardly decide what to eat. Imperfection: I bought a crab leg. It was good but I think I might have overpaid.
Afternoon: Wandered the city. Bought a map, finally. Got slightly less lost. Found a park and just stared at the sky. Emotional Reaction: Decided that Japan is beautiful, and if you don’t see something, then try again!
Evening: Back to the ramen obsession. Found another, even more amazing ramen place. This time, I remembered the Japanese word for "extra noodles." Opinionated Language: Don’t even think about skipping out on extra noodles. It’s a crime against ramen. Anecdote: The chef was so proud of his ramen, I swear he was beaming. He didn’t speak English, but his smile said it all.
Night: Planning the next step. Or trying. Possibly overthinking it.
Day 4: Departure – Maybe I'll come back someday
- Morning: Last breakfast. Said goodbye to Hana/Haru at Proof Point. Reflecting on the city, I realize that the best moments weren't the "big sights," but the small ones: chatting with locals, stumbling on hidden gems, and eating too much ramen.
- Afternoon: Headed to the airport, slightly sad to leave. The city, with its imperfections and unexpected moments, had definitely grown on me.
- Evening: On the plane, I wrote this itinerary - a messy, imperfect reflection of a messy, imperfect trip. Emotional Reaction: Hopeful. It's good and it was great!
Postscript: Kushiro, you weird, wonderful place. I’ll be back for those cranes. I promise.
