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.

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.

With excellent transport access, this is a rare location overlooking the Former Hokkaido Government Office Building Garden, a popular destination for many visitors. Featuring spacious, high-quality guest rooms and a large public bath on Basement Level 1, this Hotel makes the most of its prime setting and is ideal as a base for both sightseeing and business. In the restaurant, enjoy an indulgent breakfast and lunch in a terrace-like space where sunlight filters through the trees of the garden.

Following the opening of “ONSEN RYOKAN YUEN Shinjuku” in Shinjuku, Tokyo in 2019, this is an Onsen Hotel Ryokan with open-air baths that opened in Sapporo, Hokkaido in August 2020. We offer an open-air Onsen bath supplied with hot spring water transported from the source at Karurusu Onsen (Noboribetsu City, Hokkaido), along with carefully selected ingredients from across Hokkaido. The concept of “ONSEN RYOKAN YUEN” is to “reimagine the essence of a Ryokan.” We refine the appeal of a Ryokan into spaces and services that are more accessible for urban travelers and international guests. Experience Hokkaido’s culture and Japanese hospitality, and enjoy a soothing moment of relaxation.
