Pirikarela Hotel

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.

Not only were the rooms and service outstanding, but I was truly impressed by the cuisine. Each dish, lovingly and carefully prepared with local ingredients, was beautiful and delicious. I enjoyed the breakfast so much that I ate too much. It was my first time experiencing Moor Onsen, and it left my body feeling lighter. I have visited Hokkaido many times, but this was my first stay in Shiraoi Town, and I was surprised to find such a wonderful Hotel so close to the airport. It became an unforgettable Accommodation for me. With convenient access by train as well, I would like to visit again during the snowy season next time. Thank you for a luxurious and extraordinary stay.
