An Inn to Clear Worldly Thoughts, Face Yourself, and Coexist with Nature

An inn that pursues modern, high-quality comfort while valuing the heart of a traditional Japanese ryokan. The building, designed by Makoto Nakayama, draws the grand nature of Niseko indoors. From the sophisticated guest rooms, you can view Mt. Yotei and Mt. Weisshorn, and quietly savor the changing of the seasons. The primeval birch forest spreading before your eyes possesses a beauty that clears the traveler's mind. The name of the inn, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025, derives from the Zen spirit of "sitting quietly, forgetting the present world, and removing worldly thoughts."
