Oe Honke welcomes you to the warmth of Onneyu Onsen, one of Hokkaido’s best-kept secrets. Surrounded by the tranquil nature of Kitami, this ryokan blends heartfelt hospitality with a truly relaxing atmosphere. Whether you’re here for a solo escape, a family holiday, or a peaceful retreat with your dog, you’ll find comfort and care in every part of your stay.
The spirit of the ryokan is simple—create moments that feel special, where time slows down and nature’s beauty surrounds you. From the mineral-rich hot springs to the carefully crafted meals, Oe Honke invites you to unwind completely.
Accommodation
You’ll find a room here that suits your style and pace. Oe Honke offers several types of rooms, from classic Japanese spaces with tatami and futons, to Japanese-Western and Western-style rooms with beds. All rooms are non-smoking and designed to help you relax fully.
If you’re traveling with family, consider a room with a private cypress bath. These special rooms let you soak at your own pace while enjoying quiet time together. Seasonal views outside your window—whether snowy hills or blooming trees—make each visit feel unique.
Dining
Oe Honke takes pride in its meals, using fresh ingredients from the Okhotsk region and Kitami’s natural surroundings. Every dish reflects the chef’s care, from how the ingredients are selected to how the menu brings out their flavors.
You can enjoy a buffet that includes a live kitchen where chefs prepare food right in front of you. For breakfast, you’ll find over 50 dishes packed with nutrition and variety. If you prefer something more traditional, try the Japanese-style dinner plan, which highlights seasonal seafood from the Sea of Okhotsk.
Onsen and Wellness
The ryokan’s hot spring has flowed directly from the source since it opened. This mineral-rich “whitening bath” helps improve pigmentation and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth. The water’s natural qualities refresh your body and restore your energy.
You can bathe outdoors while listening to the wind move through the trees. A certified hot spring sommelier adjusts the temperature to match the season and the weather, making sure every soak feels just right.
