There is an old saying, "The ancient river never runs dry." The river in everyone's hometown has continued to flow without ceasing since ancient times. Like the flow of the river, we cherish the "warmth" passed down from parent to child, from person to person, and welcome you with handmade hospitality. In a space with a hearth, feel a sense of home, relax your mind and body, and enjoy the comfort as if you have returned to your hometown.

A grove of trees adds even more charm to the traditional Japanese façade. We welcome you to a moment in Jozankei—an inner retreat away from everyday life. At night, the illuminated Shogetsu Grand Hotel reveals a gentle, warmly inviting atmosphere.\nYour Shogetsu experience begins in the lounge. Nature unfolds like a single painting beyond the valley-facing windows. In this space, Japanese and Western styles blend in harmony, while the flickering fireplace casts a soothing glow for ultimate relaxation.

Perched 60 meters above sea level on the heights of Hiraiso Cape, surrounded by Ishikari Bay, you can take in sweeping views of the endless blue sea and sky, with a full panorama of Otaru Bay and downtown Otaru spread out below. Ginrinso, a historic herring mansion and ryotei-style Accommodation with Onsen, is regarded as a representative example of fishery architecture. It was originally built as the residence of a major fishing magnate in Yoichi, once famed at the base of the Shakotan Peninsula as a prosperous herring fishing ground. Its grand yet elegant presence has only grown more dignified over more than 140 years since its founding, and it is now counted among “Hokkaido’s 100 Cultural Properties.” While preserving its traditional exterior and furnishings as faithfully as possible, we have enhanced our modern Facilities to pursue even greater comfort and functionality. In the rear garden overlooking the Sea of Japan, we have newly added an open-air rock bath rich in refined charm; reborn under the name “Hiraiso Onsen,” we begin anew as one of Otaru’s newest tourist attractions.

“Creating an Accommodation where women can truly unwind.” To achieve this, we have chosen to welcome female guests only. We are unable to accommodate men or young children, because it is difficult to create a space where everyone can truly relax. Remove your makeup and be your natural self. A day to calm your mind and cherish yourself. We offer hospitality, Facilities, and meals designed exclusively for women.

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.

Nestled among majestic mountains and valleys, Jozankei is a place where the turning of the seasons feels especially vivid. Not only through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, but also in their subtle transitions, we encounter countless surprises and discoveries—sometimes finding little treasures that shine—and we ourselves are often left in awe.For example:The moment you see yellow and orange spring foliage against the lingering snow on distant Mt. Tengu,The moment a warm sun shines while an occasional north wind rustles the trees,The moment the moon seen from Futami Suspension Bridge glows round and golden like an egg yolk,The moment chestnut burrs in the courtyard shift from green to brown and plump into shape,The moment you wake to a window filled with snow-covered mountains.To delicately capture these beautiful scenes found within the changing seasons—and to invite our guests to see, taste, listen, and feel them—we have introduced our own original 24 seasonal periods.We would be delighted if you could take home today’s one-of-twenty-four colors as a memory of your journey.*Our property is exclusively for guests aged 13 and over.*

Our 8,000-tsubo garden, begun by my great-grandfather in the early Showa era, is surrounded by trees over 100 years old and is a celebrated spot in Otaru, with 200 cherry trees in full bloom in early May. From late May through June, wisteria trellises and azaleas follow, and in summer you can enjoy viburnum snowballs, hydrangeas, and carefully tended roses. I especially love the autumn foliage in late October, and the deep winter snow that transforms everything into a pure white landscape is equally refreshing for the soul.

“Chu” refers to both the place where food is prepared and the chefs themselves. “Chu Suizan” is an Accommodation where our chefs welcome you into our kitchen. Above all, we want you to enjoy eating and savoring every bite. We hope you will treasure the incomparable joy of sharing delicious food and laughter with someone special. The finest seasonal ingredients arrive from all across Hokkaido. Dashi drawn from pure spring water. And a deep commitment to salt—the key that brings flavor together.
