A ryokan that takes the concept of relaxation to new levels, Chalet Ivy Jozankei showcases Japanese culture and hospitality in a spectacular natural setting. Situated in the lush forests of Hokkaido, Chalet Ivy Jozankei puts Japan’s northernmost island’s onsen centre-stage. This is a place to breathe pure mountain air, sink into warm, mineral-rich waters, and luxuriate in Japanese hospitality. Wherever you lay your head at Chalet Ivy Jozankei, you’ll awake to serene views across the landscape. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of your sleek suite, take in the splendour of the forests blanketed in soft snow in winter, or bursting with green life in summer. Spend the morning sipping coffee as the sun rises over the treetops, and the afternoon soaking in your private onsen tub. Like the bedrooms, which seamlessly blend the traditional with the modern, ZUI restaurant fuses classic Japanese cuisine with Western touches, using exquisitely fresh local ingredients.
Chalet Ivy Jozankei’s spa NIKUR is the place to zen out, with a modern gym to work up a sweat and a large shared onsen for soaking in the waters’ famed mineral goodness. Let therapists work their magic with herbal detoxification treatments and long, blissful massages. And come the evening, sip sake and taste traditional sweets from Hokkaido around open fires in the hotel lounge.
