Onuma

Onuma Quasi-National Park, Hokkaido
Where the lake goes still, we begin.

A lakeside destination inside Onuma Quasi-National Park, beneath Mount Komagatake. A boutique hotel with outdoor onsen and a collection of branded villas and penthouses, set into the national park landscape at the water's edge.

Year-round recreation, from frozen lake adventures to golf at the foot of a volcano. Wakasagi smelt fishing on the frozen lake in winter, kayaking through 126 islands in summer, and two ski resorts within reach. A rare four-season destination that supports year-round guest demand and repeat visits.

Site and programme

A lakeside site with two distinct components, integrated into the national park landscape.

The hotel drives operating income and brand identity. The branded residences accelerate capital recovery through pre-sales. Both share the outdoor onsen and the lake.
