Tsuruga Akan Yuku no Sato
Nestled along the southern shore of Lake Akan, Hokkaido’s fifth-largest freshwater lake and a renowned tourist destination in eastern Hokkaido, this resort hotel offers an exceptional stay.
As soon as I got to the hotel, it felt like a real vacation and I instantly slowed down. The hot spring was really nice—after soaking, my whole body felt super relaxed, and I slept great that night.

Zaborin
Nestled quietly within Niseko’s pristine wilderness, Zaborin is an intimate retreat blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary elegance, under the concept of “pausing to forget the modern world”. This refined sanctuary offers a sophisticated space where guests can enjoy an exceptional stay.
As soon as you walk in, it’s super quiet—really gives you that “cut off from the world” feeling. The rooms are standalone cabin-style units, and each one has a private onsen, so the privacy is great.
The whole place is surrounded by forest. Waking up to the fresh air in the morning feels so healing. -

Lake Kussharo
Lake Kussharo is Japan's largest caldera lake, stretching approximately 20 kilometers north to south, and the largest freshwater lake that freezes over on its entire surface. Mt. Mokoto, which created Lake Kussharo, is known for its volcanic eruptions that covered the entire Hokkaido region with its ash in ancient times.
The vibe is totally different in winter. The steamy spots along the shore look pretty magical.
