The hotel itself is fine, it’s about 12 mins walk from JR station.
The main problem is the area around JR Abashiri and the hotel. Before 11am and b/w 1430-1700hrs, you could not find any cafes /restaurants for breakfast, tea break and early bird dinner.
It is not recommended for whom travelling by JR train/ intercity bus, without self-driving. Lost much time on connecting bus and train but no good meal as a return.
