Chalet Ivy Jozankei is a contemporary ryokan in the forested hot-spring town outside Sapporo. Suites combine tatami, pale timber and large windows with private onsen baths, allowing snow, autumn colour or summer greenery to remain visible from indoors. The NIKUR spa includes shared mineral baths and treatments, while ZUI restaurant works with Hokkaido produce through Japanese techniques and selected Western influences. A fire-lit lounge provides a quieter evening setting after bathing. Mountain trails and the Toyohira River surround the town, while the hotel’s strong horizontal architecture sits discreetly against the wooded valley.
