Everything was amazing at Zaborin. The snow view was beautiful and surreal. Room price included both breakfast and dinner. Unlike some meal inclusive resorts, the food quality here was superior and on par with what you would get at top-tier restaurants. The service is also impeccable. All the staff we met were amazing and epitome of Japanese service.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Zaborin, a Japanese luxury Ryokan in Hokkaido, on September 26, 2023. Our experience was truly exceptional. Zaborin's architecture, designed by an English architect, is a unique blend of Western modern living and Japanese sensitivity. The result is a perfect harmony of comfort and tradition. The Northern Kaiseki cuisine was a culinary masterpiece, highlighting the freshest local ingredients. Dining there was an unforgettable delight. Located amidst the mountains, Zaborin offers breathtaking natural surroundings that create a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The staff's warm hospitality added a personal touch to our stay. We were so impressed that we're already planning to return next year. Zaborin is a haven of luxury and tranquility in Hokkaido, and we highly recommend it for an authentic Japanese Ryokan experience with modern comfort.

The most exceptional hotel experience! The rooms were magnificent, spacious, wonderfully decorated, and had the most incredible views. The onsens were amazing. The staff were so attentive to every little detail, from the staff who greeted us to the wait staff to the housekeepers. The entire place was decorated in a minimalist but chic style. The kaiseki meals were delicious and clearly used high quality ingredients that focused on seafood and vegetables. We booked 2 massages that were incredibly relaxing after 3 days of skiing. This is the single best hotel experience I’ve ever had, and was an excellent cap to our honeymoon. I was genuinely sad to leave, and hope we’ll have the opportunity to visit again!

It was the highlight of my Japan trip. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout and greet you at the entrance. The room was very spacious and the view was amazing with the snow covering the entire grass field. We went at the end of March so the snow hasn’t gone yet but the drive there was fine as there was no snow on the road. The outdoor private onsen in the room with the beautiful backdrop was fantastic. Dinner and breakfast were probably the best in my entire Japan trip. Kaiseki style dinner was prepared and made to the highest quality and I enjoyed every bite of it. Well done to the chef!

A lovely, modern style, ryokan with the indoor and outdoor onsen within your room. Little need to interact with anyone; so relaxing!

Top tier accommodation from room setting, view and Kita Kaiseki fine dining (quality exceed Sapporo top omakase restaurant). Both breakfast and dinners are served in a private dining room. Latest breakfast serves at 9am. Dinner serves at either 6pm or 8pm.Meal variety is different every day. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. You can feel they try their best to make you happy. They offer us free shuttle service to the nearby Park Hyatt for afternoon tea. It was also lovely the general manager Shiozawa sama came to greet us at dinner. The less perfect thing is the twin single bed is a bit too short. And the room replies mainly on a heater to keep warm which during night it turns out to be a bit chilly. Having said so, waking up in the morning with a panoramic forest view beats all the minor imperfections.

In a word everything. The property is like something out of a James Bond movie. The room was excellent with two onsen, one outside with an incredible view. The layout of the room and the decor were to our taste and amazing in its simplicity. This aspect was evident it the rest of the hotel, from the corridors with work windows strategically placed, to the communal areas. The Kaiseki dinners were also excellent and the staff extremely welcoming and helpful.
