Lake Shikotsu Tsuruga Besso Ao no Za

A luxury suite property where all 25 rooms overlook Lake Shikotsu, known for its exceptional clarity. The name combines “Ao,” expressing the richly colored scenery known as Shikotsu Lake Blue, and “Za,” meaning a space where people gather and connect.

The 25 private villas come in four room types, and every one faces Lake Shikotsu for a lake view. In addition, all guest rooms are equipped with an open-air hot spring bath overlooking the beautiful lake surface. The spring water is a bicarbonate spring, known for its silky texture like a beauty serum. Soak in what is known as a skin-beautifying hot spring and take in the ever-changing beauty of the lake at your leisure.

The kaiseki cuisine is also popular, making the most of carefully selected ingredients from Hokkaido and reflecting the season in every dish. With advance phone reservation, it can also be changed to teppanyaki at the same price (subject to availability, so requests may not always be accommodated). Savor the blessings of Hokkaido’s abundant natural surroundings in a calm and relaxing setting.
