5-star Jozankei ryokan with a private open-air bath in every suite
Accommodations
Each of the 26 guest suites at Chalet Ivy Jozankei has a private open-air onsen fed by the mineral-rich hot springs of Jozankei. Rooms include air-conditioning, a private bathroom with bathtub and bathrobes, and river views. The Deluxe Corner Suites and Two-Bedroom Premium Suites provide additional space for families or groups.
Dining
The hotel's 88-seat restaurant, Zui, serves a Kaiseki dinner and breakfast menu that changes nightly using seasonal Hokkaido ingredients. Guests can also book the Teppanyaki experience, where the chef prepares wagyu beef and seafood tableside.

“Nestled in Jozankei, this boutique hotel strikes me as a secluded escape, combining traditional Japanese ryokan elements with modern luxury; the private onsen in each suite stands out, promising relaxation amidst the scenic forests. From what I gather, the hotel's dining experience, highlighting Hokkaido's seasonal ingredients, appears exceptional. I'd recommend this for travelers seeking a tranquil and refined retreat.”
