In 2016. we got 80% of our building renovated from the foundation. At that time, I faced my feeling and put an image in the Ryokan, Japanese-style inn where I'd like to go to stay overnight.

*Small space. Low ceiling and stairs.
*Quiet room with nice view
*A corridor under a dim light of a paper-covered lantern
*Served dinner inside the guest room. Also want to try small French dishes if possible
*Having breakfast with a grilled fresh fish and a light in the refreshing morning

I always remember Machiya style Japanese Ryokan, with getting glossy as it becomes old in old capital city, Kyoto.
To create such atmosphere with building a new building seems very difficult.
However I would like to try to welcome our guest, not with a big and luxury space, but with a “JUST NICE” space for you, without being proud of being new.
I'd like also to make an effort to collect staff's hearts and make the inside of the building warm so that all guests can be relieved.

I wish to make our Japanese-style hotel cozy little by little, with the nice sensitivity of every our visiting guests.

We are the Onsen Ryokan, Japanese-style inn, at a hot spring surrounded by the garden of the rich nature of Hokkaido, and 15 minutes drive away from famous Otaru canal.
Situated at the gate of Asarigawa Onsen area, and it takes about one hour from New Chitose airport and 30 minutes from Sapporo by expressway. The circumference of our vast site is a quiet residential area.

Owner two generations back has begun to built the garden, 26500 sq. with trees more than 100 years years old, from early Showa era, and now it is a famous place of Otaru where 200 cherry trees bloom in early May.
You can enjoy wisteria trellis and azaleas in late May and June, hydrangeas and the roses which we put great deal of effort in summer.
Autumn leaves of the end of October are my favorite seasons, and you may be moved by deep white snow in winter.

Number of our guest room is 35, and now 28 rooms have private open-air spa.
All hall is with tatami mats floor, so you can feel a traditional Japanese atmosphere.
We put seasonal flowers everywhere and welcome you with fresh spring water for your memorable stay.
