"Surfeel was very convenient, being two minutes walking from the Wakkanai train station."

"Lovely and comfortable stay - breakfast was worth the extra fee, boasting a bountiful buffet of fresh sashimi, delicious side dishes, comforting soups and freshly-cooked rice in addition to other usual fare like bread, yoghurt and fruits. Rooms were on the small side, but perfectly serviceable. The public baths are fantastic, and there are 3 washers + 3 dryers per gender in the public bath area. There’s also free ice cream and yoghurt drinks for after your bath, be it morning/night! Location is just a short walk away from the JR station/bus terminal, and throwing distance from 3 car rental agencies. It’s a 15-minute walk from the ferry terminal, but in the early AM (when the first ferry leaves), it’s a nice walk in summer. Love the Dormy Inn series, would always come back!"

"I arrived early and was told was too early which was fine. I felt increasingly uneasy waiting around, the vibe heavy, and overall, didn't feel safe (the ONLY time I felt this in Japan, not because of the locals but because of visitors.) I did not check in at all and left Wakkanai later the same day, taking the only train left back to Sapporo. Walked for a couple miles in town (by train station) crossed paths with literally only 2 people. The town empty, no noodle shops, no bentos, no sushi, thankfully a Seico Shop. Lastly the Shrine in town was labeled "do not enter, private property". That about covers it. Only plus side, knowing that I was on northern most part of Japan. (Have loved every other place & experience in this most beautiful country!)"
