B&Bs in Teshikaga

So happy we came across this little gem of a place. Tucked in at the end of a quiet private country lane, Polaris offered us a perfect base to explore Eastern Hokkaido. It is a very easy drive from the property to see Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo and visit the Cranes in Tsurui. The lodge is small (but our room was very spacious), charming, pristinely clean, warm and welcoming. The moment we stepped into the lodge, noticed owners' great attention to detail. A lot of thought and care went into creating this lovely place: from a flowering coffee tree in the dining area to room amenities, to binoculars offered to enhance our birdwatching experience. Every morning we woke up to bird song and a fantastic snow view from our window. If you lucky, you will see a Shima-enaga, a gorgeous white Long-tailed tit native to Hokkaido, coming to say hello. Breakfast was sumptuous and delicious and multi-course dinner offered a few local specialties beautifully cooked and presented. The owners take a great pride of Hokkaido and will help you with your trip planning. If you like peace and quiet, privacy, dark sky away from resort crowds, this place is for you!

Very well equipped, clean and friendly hostel. Great location for exploring Lake Mashu/Akan area with a car.

Huge space to enjoy. Really great private onsen. Really creative and beautiful artwork all around.

Aki and Taka make all guests feel extremely welcome. The joint breakfasts and dinners are a great way to get to know other travelers and learn more about Japan and Hokkaido

Ezo house has lots of character. The shared area was more than sufficient for our group of six. The rooms were very homey, comfortable and well kept. It’s easy to see the owner cares a lot. And there’s a cat!
