Located in Hakodate, 7.7 km from Goryokaku Park, Hakodateyama Guest House provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. With free WiFi, this 1-star hostel offers a shared kitchen and luggage storage space. The property is non-smoking and is situated 8.1 km from Hakodate Goryokaku. The view from both my room and the communal area was amazing. This hostel is up on a hill, which means you have to walk about 15 minutes to get to the convenience store — but it's totally worth it! You can lie in bed and watch the clouds drifting across the sky, and when you stand up, the sea comes into view through the window. I loved listening to the sound of the waves from my room. Sitting on the bench, feeling the breeze, and just relaxing made me truly happy.

Located in Nakafurano, within 8.1 km of Furano Station and 13 km of Windy Garden, Other Side House provides accommodation with barbecue facilities and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive. Built in 1999, this 1-star hostel is within 8.4 km of Furano City Office and 18 km of Furano Golf Course. The property is non-smoking and is situated 47 km from Kaguraoka Park. We really enjoyed having the entire floor to ourselves, which included three bedrooms and a dining area. This layout was perfect for our group's needs. The location was ideal, being close to Farm Tomita, a key stop on our Hokkaido summer trip. A delightful and unexpected bonus was discovering the illuminations at Hinode Park nearby, which turned out to be the highlight of our stay

With a shared lounge, the 2-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a shared bathroom. Private parking is available on site. Super nice hosts. I broke my leg skiing and the host Suke-san kindly offered to help me retrieve my rental car, ship my bags home and took me to get on the bus to the airport the next day. I couldn't have gotten home so easily without him! Besides all that, the accommodations were well run, clean, warm and quiet, beds were comfy and other travelers were friendly.

Set in Sapporo, within 12 km of Shin-Sapporo Station and 20 km of Otarushi Zenibako City Center, HELIO HOSTEL SAPPORO offers free WiFi. Featuring a shared lounge, this 2-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom. The property is 1.9 km from Sapporo Station, and within 100 metres of the city centre. The location is amazing, it’s super close to the downtown area but on a smaller side street so you don’t hear traffic. As well the bed is way more comfortable than I was expecting, I was kinda expecting the thin hostel mat you get in Japan pretty often but this one is a mattress so I was extremely happy.
