Kuramure

Tucked into Otaru’s historic district, seconds from Asarigawa Hot Spring and a short drive to Otaru Canal. Ski Village Asari is about 0.6 mi away and Kiroro Resort sits roughly 25.4 km; New Chitose Intl. (CTS) is the preferred airport.

This luxury ryokan has 19 individually decorated guestrooms with indoor private hot tubs and flat-screen TVs. Rooms mix Japanese antiques with Li and Ming dynasty pieces, traditional plaster walls and paper finishes, and are even named after writers and artists tied to Otaru.

Soak in hot springs or one of the on‑site spa tubs, then take in the view from the terrace. The property offers complimentary wired and wireless internet, concierge service, a complimentary area shuttle, a massage room, a library, and free self parking.

Complimentary high-speed wired internet and newspapers in the lobby are available, plus luggage storage and a conference hall for meetings. A free train station pick-up service makes group arrivals easy.

An on-site restaurant serves breakfast and dinner with a complimentary local-cuisine breakfast daily from 8:00–9:00 AM. There’s also a coffee shop/café for snacks and a bar/lounge for evening drinks.
