ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Kushiro, an IHG Hotel

Came at a quiet time over the New Year and it was a joy to stay. Magnificent view of the port like what you get in the webstream except in better definition. Rooms are newly renovated for those looking for that fresh furniture smell. Staff are patient and lovely. Opted for a teppanyaki dinner and the chef didn't disappoint on the pan (the intel on Shima-enaga, not so ^o^ ).

The view from my spacious room of the harbour and its surroundings. The staff - super friendly and welcoming. The restaurant: I had a superb dinner (Del Nord Restaurant) - occidental food with a Japanese touch.

The breakfast was excellent, with many different options.

Seaside view is amazing. Next to fish market which is an interesting place to eat and buy your souvenirs. Room is clean and new.

amazing room with ocean view and sunset
