- Otaru Retreat Kuramure
In a serene space where Otaru’s history lives on, enjoy a relaxing moment filled with gourmet cuisine and Onsen.
Set in Otaru Asarigawa Onsen, once a thriving port town along the Kitamaebune shipping route, “Otaru Retreat Kuramure” is a 19-room retreat Hotel designed by architect Makoto Nakayama under the philosophy of “tranquility,” carrying on the legacy of historic stone warehouses. All guest rooms feature natural Onsen baths, and you can enjoy an all-inclusive stay with seasonal Hokkaido kaiseki cuisine and Hokkaido wines, as well as a fermented sawdust bath produced by Ohtaka Enzyme—unique blessings of this land. In a serene space in harmony with nature, step away from the rush of everyday life and savor a stay where you can slowly cultivate time that feels truly your own.
We visited Otaru for a birthday trip this time. The Accommodation was a very calm and relaxing space, and having an Onsen in the Room was the best. With the all-inclusive plan, not only was the food delicious, but they also served wines and sake that paired perfectly with each meal—everything was excellent. There is also a bar inside the Accommodation, where they offered cocktails and wines tailored to our preferences, brought snacks without us even asking, and truly took great care of us; chatting with the bar staff was so much fun and made it feel very welcoming. Every staff member provided truly outstanding service. We were completely satisfied with this Accommodation and would love to visit again. Thanks to you, we were able to have a wonderful birthday.
ゲスト 9/10/2026We stayed as a couple, and it was wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy the private Onsen—open-air bath, sauna, and cold plunge—at our own pace without worrying about anyone else. It was great to spend time without being concerned about our surroundings. Breakfast also let us fully savor Hokkaido-style ingredients, which made the stay even more satisfying. Overall, we had a very fulfilling time and would love to visit again in a different season.

Introduction of the Accommodation







In Otaru, a town that prospered through the Kitamaebune shipping routes, these storehouses were created in 2002 to carry on the memory of the stone warehouses that once protected valuable goods, designed by architect Makoto Nakayama. True to his belief that “architecture should quietly give rise to a profound spirit,” inspired by the essence of Japanese architecture such as Katsura Imperial Villa, you can spend serene moments surrounded by nature—the rustle of trees, birdsong, and gentle light filtering in—bringing calm to your mind and guiding you back to your true self.

There are 19 guest rooms, each with its own distinctive style, and every room features a natural Onsen bath. The sodium-calcium chloride spring is kept at a comfortable temperature at all times, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing soak whenever you like. Surrounded by the rustle of trees and the gentle murmur of the river beyond your window, everyday time slowly melts away.

Dinner at Kuragura is a kaiseki course inspired by the theme of “fermentation,” pairing seasonal ingredients from Hokkaido’s sea and land with a variety of fermentation techniques. In the private dining room “shōin,” enjoy dishes that showcase the chef’s delicate skill and sensibility, beginning with a fermented hassun platter that changes its character with each season. For breakfast, we offer a gentle Japanese set meal to help you start your day in calm comfort.

A signature Kuragroup experience: a fermented sawdust bath produced under the supervision of Ohtaka Kohso, a company with 100 years of tradition in Otaru. Gentle warmth created through natural fermentation envelops your entire body, slowly warming you from the core for deep comfort. JPY 6,600 per person for 90 minutes (tax included; up to two guests may use it at the same time). We also offer a private Onsen with satoyama views and a sauna with löyly, available separately, so you can choose the perfect way to refresh body and mind to suit your mood that day. A signature Kuragroup experience: Hokkaido’s only fermented sawdust bath at an Accommodation facility, supervised by Ohtaka Kohso of Otaru with 100 years of tradition.

JPY 6,600 per person for 90 minutes (tax included; up to two guests may use it at the same time). We also offer a private Onsen with satoyama views and a sauna with löyly, available separately, so you can choose the perfect way to refresh body and mind to suit your mood that day.

Your stay is all-inclusive. Whether you’re sipping a drink at the bar, enjoying a glass of Hokkaido wine with your meal, or unwinding in your room, you can relax and enjoy everything freely and effortlessly. Let go of the clock and indulge in the luxury of following your mood—read in a quiet space, share conversation, or simply do nothing at all; these are experiences unique to this Accommodation. Discover a fulfilling kind of time that shifts the purpose of travel from “sightseeing” to “staying.”
