Where nature lets your mind unwind - Kimobetsu

In the town of Kimobetsu, Hokkaido, the private lodge "KIZEN" sits in a landscape framed by the ridgelines of Mt. Yotei and Mt. Shiribetsu.

Step into a Japandi-inspired space filled with the warmth of wood and soft, gentle light, and feel the tension in your mind gradually ease away.

Spring opens the scenery with tender greens and melting snow; summer breathes deep life through the emerald mountains. Autumn reveals the turning of the seasons in softly tinted slopes, and winter brings a pure white silence that slows the passage of time.

Scenic beauty, right at your doorstep. Enjoy tranquil moments in a place where understated luxury quietly thrives.
