Summary: About the hotel
It is absolutely no ryokan but rather a huge resort with a dining hall for 200+ people, an onsen for 150+ people, an arcade games room, several shops inside the hotel, etc.
It also seems that the hotel recently merged with sister hotel Wings which is just next door.
Hotel room
We were misled by the good reviews which referred to the main hotel. Unaware of the difference between the main and the sister hotel, we ended up in the “Wings” hotel where rooms could definitely use some refurbishment and renovation. Description mentions traditional furniture. Nice way to describe worn out furniture from the 1990s. Bathroom was tiny and the oldest we have seen over our 2 weeks of traveling in Hokkaido. TV had no internet connection and had even no HDMI port.
The “Mountain View” was also an absolute joke. View was first on the parking lot, then the fire escape stairwell and yes you could see one ski slope in the background.
Food
Misled by the word ryokan we expected a dining experience of high quality with local ingredients and attentive service. Well nope. Dinner and breakfast is buffet style, where you have to hand in a ticket when you arrive.
You are then escorted to your table and are free to choose between Japanese, Chinese, or Western cuisine. While options are not lacking, taste and freshness was however sadly missing.
Overall it was a very disappointing experience and if in the area, we would recommend La Vista Akangawa hotel instead

Summary: This was a bit expensive for us, especially as it is a hostel and a bit out of town (20 min walk), but it was actually very nice indeed. The superb onsen was absolutely lovely with sea view, there was a nice reception, the shared lounge was enormous with amazing view and there was easy parking. We had a nice meal out at a friendly (recommended) local restaurant. Shiretoke is a truly beautiful nature reserve and well worth a visit. We were happy we stayed here.

Summary: Lovely hotel, very comfortable and well equiped but there is no restaurant on site and also very few open in the town at night during the period we stayed so you need to bring your own food

Summary: The view from the hotel room is just awesome. Unfortunately, we did not manage to see sunset as all the 3 days were cloudy when we were there. Certainly it will be easier if have own transport.

Summary: It is a nice property with outstanding views of the port. The bedroom was clean, comfortable, and ample for Japan standards. The staff is courteous and the pristine shared kitchen works well. In case you aren’t driving, note that it isn’t quite walking distance from downtown. Btw the GPS took me to a wrong address, by the port; actually the hotel is at the top of the hill. I totally recommend it.

Summary: Lovely shared spaces (living room, cooking area, onsen) at this hotel. In walking distance to good restaurants for dinner. Was glad to have some groceries since there was not much to eat for breakfast in town.

Summary: The hotel is on top of a hill and overlooks the harbor. Utoro is not a pretty place but the hotel is operated like a hostel with cooking facilities on the 1st level. Room was spacey but did not have a bathroom. Tge “onzen” on the 1st level had to be used.
