“Margo’s Garden was cozy, welcoming, and had a wonderful sense of community.”

We stayed at Margo’s Garden in Hokkaido on our first Japan trip, and it was unforgettable; we rented a car at New Chitose Airport, which was a great decision because the drive was easy and it let us explore freely. One evening we drove about 20–30 minutes to Otaru for dinner, a nice chance to try something new. The farmstead itself is simple and intentional, with guests conserving water and using the provided toiletries, which felt thoughtful rather than restrictive. The cozy communal space, featuring one long shared table, was the heart of the place, and I even spent an entire day working there comfortably—Wi‑Fi was stronger there than in our cabin. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, with guests and staff from all over the world, including New Zealand, Scotland, and Switzerland, making it beautifully international and open. Everyone was kind, curious, and happy to talk. Miwa, the main cook, was absolutely amazing; her meals were fresh and flavorful, and she somehow also supplied food for a nearby ski resort while preparing our breakfasts and dinners—her energy and talent are remarkable. What truly made the experience special was the sense of community; the staff sat with us during dinners, shared stories, and made everyone feel included, turning strangers into friends. No complaints at all; it was great.
