Hello! We'd like to welcome you to stay at Guesthouse Waya, where we provide an experience that has been described as feeling like one is visiting the home of a close friend. The room is a mixed dormitory with 8 beds, where guests meet like-minded travelers from all over the world. Our "reception desk" is a bar, where guests and locals hang out and form genuine connections. We are located within walking distance of the city centre (Susukino and Odori.) The SPACE We have cozy, mixed dorm with clean, shared bathrooms in a renovated apartment in Sapporo, Hokkaido. THE ROOM The dorm is offered with bunk beds - each guest having their own dedicated private space, almost like a small room within the room, complete with curtains for privacy. Guests often comment on how spacious and comfortable the beds are. Sheets are supplied. There is a lamp, a wall socket for charging, and a wall-unit for hanging clothes. The shower is shared with other guests (not at the same time, lol), and there are two toilets - one for ladies, the other for gentlemen. There is high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the guesthouse, and you are of course free to use it. You are welcome to hang out in the living room during your stay, where we have a floor table that is heated underneath, called a Kotatsu (be careful - sitting at this table is so comfortable, you might just end up spending your entire stay there). You are welcome to use the kitchen as much (or as little) as you like. There is a shelf in the refrigerator for your food, as well as space in the cabinets to put groceries. We keep basic groceries in stock for free use by guests, such as milk, juice, tea, coffee, snacks, etc. If you have a lot of luggage, there is always available storage space (we host many snowboarders/skiers).
