Shakotan Peninsula, Hokkaido Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"This property has an outstanding service and an incredible breakfast for the rate we paid for a night. It should be the go to place for Otaru visitor"

"The front desk agent, Ms Umeda helped me a lot when I had a trouble. She helped me and save my Japan trip! Thank you so much!! This is our second time to stay at Authent Hotel, convenient location and loved the Polo Star top lounge. Nice view and so relaxing after long walking sightseeing. "

"I came here with my wife at the end of August, and I had an amazing time. I wish I booked for longer as the nature, Onsen, food, and service were beyond imagination. Even though Niseko is known for skiing, I think it's worth coming here in the summer or off season. I arrived to Kutchan Station where a driver picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel. Immediately, I noticed the excellent service and attention to detail that was above my experience compared to other hotels in Hokkaido. Due to it being an off season, I had the whole Onsen to myself! The room is very spacious and has everything including a washer/dryer, a full kitchen, and a walk out balcony. Even the slippers were so nice so I ended up buying the same brand later on my trip! For breakfast there are fruits, juices, and breads that you can grab. I was surprised that you choose a menu for breakfast and they had a Japanese and Italian option. We both went with Japanese and the fish was delicious! It comes many side dishes too! "

"One of the best and new hotel in Otaru "

"Always great to stay at midtown niseko, 24 hr counter, room has everything an outdoor adventurer would want"

"One block from canal cruise one block from the main shopping district."

"Very nice hotel. You do need a car to move around. Dining options are not walkable. "

"Very close to the Otaru canal and museums, shops and restaurant. The big bathes with natural spring water is excellent."

"It was perfect for what we needed. "
