Spring is on the way　– Spreading the colors of spring –

We at Raku-Suisan is welcoming spring for the 2nd year.
As the snow on Mt. Yotei begins to melt, greenery slowly spreads on the mountain’s surface.
Now is the season where a beautiful contrast between the snow and flowers on the mountain top.

The Yoshino cherry blossom starts blooming in March, a nature call that shows spring is around the corner. A full bloom of cherry blossom is expected in May due to the cold weather of Hokkaido.

In Honshu area with high altitude cherry blossom, peaches and plum bloom almost at the same time as Hokkaido.

A beautiful color gradation is slowly forming around Raku-Suisan.

As we are heading towards spring in April, not many flowers are available at the moment. We at Irifune and Kaioh welcome you with edible plants at our restaurants. We strive to serve you delicious meal not only for your appetite but also for your eyes to enjoy.

A soothing and gentle bouquet is placed in your room. Not only we obtain fresh food products from producers, we get fresh flowers from the gardeners in summer. We always cooperate with the locals to give full satisfaction to our guests with their hardworking produces.

The natural view from the windows combined with the décor of flowers bring a soothing and relaxation moment to your stay with us.
