It was a really comfortable and cosy stay with my family of 6. The bedrooms were spacious with the 3 queen beds, and the futon beds were also very cosy to sleep with. Heating worked very well too. The space was really clean, like the toilets and the kitchen utensils.

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!

Stayed here for 4 nights at the beginning of our trip around Japan.
We didn't have many interactions with staff other than the housekeeping staff. They were lovely to deal with. The rooms we chose not have cleaned every day. Instead, we would put our dirty towels, etc. In a bag outside our room and we would return in the afternoon to fresh clean towels.
The size of the room was good. We had almost more room that we could use.
Location: It was not on the main street in Otaru, ocer a few instead. That was perfect for us. We realised there was a covered walkway/ shopping street that was very convenient to keep out of the weather.
The shower had really good water pressure!
Having spare blankets within easy access was really good.

I really liked Otaru, even though it is small and doesn’t have too much to see. It’s really just the main shopping strip and the canal. There are a few museums and some spots in the mountains (there seems to be a ropeway that is poorly advertised but would have been perfect) but that’s about it.
It’s really quite a charming place. The streetscape and history are both fascinating, and the food great - especially ankake yakisoba and kaisendon. I do think it would be an absolutely perfect place to end a trip and unwind for a few days before returning to reality.

A lovely old port town with many original buildings being repurposed for tourism - dining and glass making.
Compact size makes walking around easy but in winter could be snow bound.
Lots of great places to explore old Japanese culture and dining and drinking experiences.
Lots of fresh seafood...many diners around the actual fish market shop with all types of Japanese cuisine... tempura...sakitori...sushi..shashimi...hotpot ...ramen etc..and absolutely amazing bakeries / patisseries and local ice cream and dairy products. Even wineries have opened up.
And even more if you are a winter sports person with ski resorts on the town outskirts...seaon just closed when we were here.
All this a simple train ride from Sapporo Airport -- ok maybe an 2 hour ride...not bad if straight off the plane from Sydney or Seoul or Tokyo into the Sapporo airport.

After coming from the big city of Sapporo we loved the smaller town of Otaru. Planned on just doing a day trip but changed to stay overnight. Wish we had taken a day off Sapporo and added it to Otaru. No lights on the canal as expected but we still loved Otaru. Easy to walk to everything and a lot to enjoy.

We went during winter.
We went during winter. It is a small quiet town and most shops close around 5-6pm. So good to settle dinner early. As a small and quiet town, the place is generally quiet and peaceful after dusk. There is nothing to do after dusk and travelers can take a stroll down the Otaru canal and enjoy the night view.

Give the canal a pass, especially if you have been to Europe. Very underwhelming. Take the local train one stop to Shioya and hike the Shioya Maru-yama. It is about a 6km round trip hike up a local mountain with great views. Take the same train to Yoichi to tour the Nikka Whiskey Distillery and sample great whiskeys in the restaurant after the tour (book reservation for tour ahead of time and remember everything shuts down around 16:00).

The hotel: Great location, staff service facilities and everything you need to support your comfortable stay, a little cosy but expected in the country.
The town is lovely and has now become my most favourite town in Japan, want to be here more, it give me relax, local people are also very nice.
The whole place is bright, spotless clean and comfortable.
It is in a quiet part of town, so the nights were not noisy even with the windows open.
The location is quite good, accessible to Otaru Canal, Otaru Music Box Museum, Otaru Station, if you are willing to go up/down hill a little, roughly 15-25 mins of brisk walking to any of those places.
Owner is helpful too.
Did I mention it is clean? Even the toilets and bathrooms are clean with no signs of grime or moss!
This is a very relaxing natural Onsen hotel.
It is a place where you can leave your worries behind and enjoy the quietness and relaxing atmosphere with everything catered for.
Room was large, dinner sumptuous, good selection of buffet spread for breakfast, daily piano recitals in the lobby in the evenings and most of all the relaxing outdoor Onsen.
The hotel is close to the river, so you can see the river view from the window directly. Also, It is a historical hotel, because it has old but elegant decorations. The staff there are friendly and professional, they could speak English very clearly and easily to communicate with. In addition, we are lucky that we get the room upgrade.
Great location within walking distance to Otaru Canal. Very helpful staff, impressed with their willingness to go beyond their duty. They were polite and sincere. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel which really exceeded our expectations. Meals were superb and you can really see the effort they put to serve a good meal.
We enjoyed our stay in Otaru, it was nice to be able to relax on the couch in the evening. Well equipped apartment. Friendly and quick responsive hosts, we appreciate it. Good heating system in the living/sleeping room, electric kettle and some tea/coffee. There was a fridge too. Parking in front of the building.
Hotel Nord Otaru is classic business hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our room seemed a little small at first, we have no problem staying a night without feeling uncomfortable. All necessities were provided in our room. Nonetheless, we love that bathroom and toilet were separated.
We really enjoyed the in-room onsen — the main reason we chose this hotel. Even though the view from the onsen was partially obstructed (stated upfront), it was still pretty lovely. Room was comfortable and spacious enough for our family of 3.
The staff was wonderful and they were nice enough to upgrade our room which was a pleasant surprise. Very walkable and near the canal, shops, restaurants. We wished we could’ve stayed longer in Otaru and will certainly be back to Oooooh Home.
The onsen here is awesome! Huge space, with several baths, for you to enjoy. They also provide some free snacks for the customers after they take the onsen! The location was really nice, just across the main station in Otaru.
Good location, located near Otaru canal. Twin bed room is spacious. Nice breakfast, not many choices but good. Must schedule for breakfast as the hotel restaurant can accommodate limited number of people
Our favorite hotel! Location is perfect along the canal. The view is beautiful. Coffee shop in the lobby is delicious. Easy to get to from station. Comfortable and spacious rooms and onsen to relax at.
The staff was friendly and even if we got there a bit later than the normal check-in time, they were welcoming. Also, a bit far way from the center but close to bus stops bound to Otaru station.
-big room
-good temperature control system
-professional staff
-free parking
-extremely near asarigawaonsen ski
-40-min drive from Kiroro Ski, same as accoms in Otaru
