Nestled in Hanazono’s secluded woods, Zaborin Ryokan embodies discreet Japanese elegance on Hokkaido’s pristine landscape.

This intimate luxury retreat features just 15 private villas, each showcasing natural Hokkaido materials and boasting both indoor and outdoor onsen baths fed by pure volcanic spring water from 1km below—ranked in Japan’s top 10%. The contemporary architecture harmonizes beautifully with surrounding meadows and forests, while remaining conveniently located near world-class Niseko ski slopes.

Chef Yoshihiro Seno crafts exceptional “Kita kaiseki” menus celebrating Hokkaido’s abundance in the main lodge’s refined dining spaces. With cozy fireplaces, tea rooms, and unparalleled privacy, Zaborin delivers an extraordinary northern Japanese hospitality experience.
