Lake Shikotsu Tsuruga BessouKohaku no sho

Opening July 2026

Concept

- The Lake White Fantasia -

The lake white Fantasia unfolds here

The ever‑changing colors of Lake Shikotsu,
shifting with the light and shadow,
captivate at first sight.
Azure skies, the glow of sunset,
the breath of a gentle breeze,
the soft rustle of birds’ wings—
all are quietly mirrored on the lake’s surface.

On calm nights, moonlight spills across the lake,
sometimes pale, sometimes deep,
casting a gentle glow known as “haku” (白),
the “Lake White.”

This tender hue has become the central motif in the design
of Lake Shikotsu Tsuruga Bessou Kohaku no sho.

Here, may you relax and slowly unwind in rhythm with nature’s breath,
and write trip memories that belong to you alone.

Combines tradition and innovation

Kisyoku

A new flavor born from fermentation
and aging techniques—“KISYOKU” (嬉食)

In Japanese food culture, “fermentation” and “aging” are essential culinary concepts. Inspired by these, Kohaku no Sho delicately weaves traditional wisdom with modern techniques, awakening the true character of each ingredient through fermentation and aging, and painting a new “KISYOKU” landscape unique to Hokkaido.

Serenity and tranquility Facilities

An space full of artistic sense

Inspired by the image and vision of white moonlight quietly illuminating the lake’s surface, the “Kohaku” (湖白) artworks adorn the water garden and corridor. Using the moonlit “Kohaku” (湖白) tones reflected on Lake Shikotsu as their base, they weave together snow, water mist, stars, birds, and the mountains encircling the lake—art themed on the nature of Lake Shikotsu that gently accents the entire space.
