Hotel Zaborin, Relax in Paradise in Hokkaido

Located in Hokkaido, the northernmost of the Japanese islands, Zoborin is nestled in a haven of nature where it welcomes its visitors. Much more than just a hotel, its quiet, idyllic surroundings and luxurious rooms guarantee a paradisiacal stay for all its guests.

Without departing from the classic touch and irreproachably warm welcome of the ryokan, the hotel has a more modern exterior due to its architecture, designed by Makoto Nakayama, which blends into the landscape. This desire for cohesion between the interior and exterior is also reflected in the name of the hotel, Zaborin, which is Japanese for ‘to sit and escape in the woods through thought’.

Serenity also reigns within the establishment, notably in the traditional meals made by a Japanese chef using ingredients from the forest and lake adjacent to the hotel, or simply when wandering around one of the hotel’s fifteen private villas. Each has an indoor and outdoor onsen with panoramic views of the surrounding nature.
