Ryokan HANAEMI
7,2/10 Very Good - Based on 18 reviews
In the heart of the soothing Asarigawa Onsen district in Otaru, Ryokan HANAEMI embodies understated elegance and authentic character. This establishment captivates with its carefully designed relaxation spaces, such as its private baths that invite a true sensory journey. The particular attention to every detail, from the warm wooden furniture to the soft lighting, evokes a perfect harmony between understated modernity and Japanese tradition. Free parking completes these amenities, making every stay most enjoyable in this ryokan in Otaru.
Whether it’s the Western-style rooms with clean lines or the Japanese-style rooms with tatamis and futons, all offer an intimate and relaxing cocoon. Equipped with air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a flat-screen TV, they combine contemporary comfort with traditional serenity. Each bathroom, equipped with a private bathtub, invites a moment of relaxation after a day of exploration in the region.
Two on-site restaurants add a gourmet dimension to the stay: “yamanomi,” which offers pizzas in a friendly atmosphere, and “holiday inn dining,” which enhances Japanese flavors at breakfast and dinner. Nearby, a variety of restaurants and cafes offer the chance to discover even more local specialties, enhancing immersion in Hokkaidō’s gastronomy.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5/10 With a mix of traditional and modern elements, this establishment offers a semi-authentic experience. The rooms feature tatamis but also include contemporary furniture and appliances. The baths and meals do not seem to convey the authenticity expected of a traditional ryokan.
