Pirikarela Hotel

After reading Reviews last year, I stayed here for the first time. I couldn’t forget how comfortable it was, so this year I booked a 2-night Multiple Night Stay. It’s a small Hotel with only six Rooms, but the warm hospitality from the staff and chef, along with the moor Onsen, truly soothed my heart. The private open-air bath was also spacious and open, and we could clearly see the beautiful stars.For dinner last time, I was impressed by the teppan French cuisine—especially the vegetables and Shiraoi beef—so on the first night this time we chose French again. It was just as delicious as before. On the second night, we tried Japanese cuisine for the first time—and it moved me more than I can say. Every dish was filled with unseen care and heartfelt effort; the dashi had an exquisite balance of saltiness and umami. From appetizer to dessert, it was a perfectly composed menu that felt thoroughly thought out. I don’t think you can easily find this level even in Tokyo. The sommelier selected wines and sake to match each dish, which made everything taste even better.The Room was calm and relaxing as well—it became a blissful summer holiday. Thank you to everyone there. We’ll be back again next year, and we look forward to seeing you then.

This was my first time encountering Moor Onsen in Hokkaido, and while searching for a Hotel with an in-room Onsen, I found this place. The price wasn’t something I could book casually, but the experience exceeded it—if anything, it felt almost too good for the cost.With an in-room Onsen, I usually notice the sound of running water throughout the night, but here there was none at all. Since this Hotel only allows guests aged 12 and over, it was extremely quiet and comfortable. Even though the Moor Onsen is free-flowing and not heated, it was always at a pleasant temperature, and my skin felt wonderfully smooth. Plenty of towels were provided as well, so I enjoyed soaking many times without hesitation.The meals prepared by the head chef were so carefully crafted—with time-consuming and meticulous preparation—that I almost felt guilty finishing them so quickly. The salt level is thoughtfully adjusted, so even guests with high blood pressure or diabetes can likely enjoy everything with peace of mind.I also heard that the Onsen water is used in various stages of food preparation. At the Hotel entrance you can drink Onsen water as well, and there was a bottle of delicious silica-rich water—great for beauty—in the Room refrigerator.I saw a Review saying that there is less salmon roe at breakfast now; however, having large amounts (especially if it isn’t from Shiraoi) can lead to consuming too much salt or purines. Rather than eating unlimited quantities of one item you like best, I feel true luxury is being able to enjoy a variety of seasonal ingredients without worrying about health concerns.Just one small suggestion: sandals might be more comfortable than geta. I’d love to save up and visit again.
