Zaborin

nice hotel 距離hanazono滑雪場很近，房間很大每天的菜單都不一樣，服務員很熱情，唯一的小插曲就是一個reception不懂變通，其他都很完美。

Simply amazing place. Might not be for everyone, but we found it to be a very special and unique place that we would love to visit again. Great for those who appreciate beautiful design and still elegance. Worth noting is that the food served is a traditional japanese meal for dinner (getting a more western breakfast was a very easy request). The ryokan was very accommodating in making some adjustments to the menu - but from a western perspective it is very authentic and might not suite everyone. Trying the BBQ room for one evening is highly recommended!

Love this wonderful ryokan. Exceptionally beautiful ryokan. The room was very nice and very spacious. Beautiful view. The staff told us that if we were lucky we might see animals walking pass by while we were using outdoor onsen. It is a nice break for 1 or 2 nights.

Located not far away from Kutchan JR station, Zaborin is nested in a lovely countryside. The rental Toyota car GPS can not locate the exact location of the hotel, I have to resort to the Google map on my cell phone to take me to the hotel. This was not the first time that the Toyota rental car GPS failed. The hotel is a modern design building. Staff at the entrance would take care of the luggage and led us to the reception. Reception is located on the second floor by lift. The first impression of hotel interior design is minimalist, there is no extravagant or classical Edo decoration. We did the check in at the lounge and finished the hotel introduction inside our room. Most of the rooms have a similar interior design. Ours has a fantastic view of the country and a side view of Yotei Mountain. The room has a separate living room and bedroom, a nice restroom, a large bathroom with inside hot bath and outside onsen. The hotel reminded us before arrival that the hotel room has no air conditioning, but only electric fan. We had a drink to ourselves at the outside patio area with fantastic view and nice weather. The weather is still nice and not too much flying insects around you. We walked around the hotel and found that we are by ourselves most of the time and did not meet any other guests during the walk. I guess the guests are enjoying the nice quality of the room. We had a drink at the lounge before dinner and we were the only guests while there. Our dinner was served at the lover level of the hotel restaurant. Each pair of guests were seated in partitioned rooms. Food is served with ingredients explained. Food quality is high. After we checked out at the reception and took the lift to downstairs, we found our car was ready at the entrance, with our luggage loaded tot he trunk. You do not need to carry your luggage to the parking lot to get your car.

Absolutely amazing place. The staff are amazing and so detail oriented. The place comes with a cigar room, library, wine bar, and massage room. The breakfast and dinner are great too with different menus each day hand written by the chef. The rooms are very spacious with many amenities as well. The only complaint is that during the night, the rooms aren’t that well lit. The two onsens in each room are also a great plus for this place.

What a beautiful gem of a hotel in the heart of the forest in Niseko area! Combining traditional and modern elements, Zaborin elevates the ryokan experience with understated elegance and luxury. The facilities are beautiful and the environment is tranquil and serene. The food is amazing! Local, seasonal and high quality ingredients, delicate and complex flavor profiles, exquisite presentation. We were treated with such warm hospitality by everyone here, and hope to get to return in the future.
