About this stay

Akan Tsuruga Besso Hinanoza is an all-suite luxury ryokan perched on the shores of Lake Akan in eastern Hokkaido, within Akan-Mashu National Park. Every suite faces the caldera lake and its signature marimo moss balls, with private open-air baths drawing from the area's therapeutic hot springs. The property celebrates Ainu culture through its architecture, art, and curated experiences at the nearby Ainu Kotan village. Kaiseki meals feature rare eastern Hokkaido ingredients — venison, lake fish, and mountain vegetables — in an intimate dining setting.
