We are honored to announce that two of our properties, SETOUCHI RETREAT by Onko Chishin and GOTO RETREAT by Onko Chishin, have been awarded One MICHELIN Key in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide hotel selection for Japan.

The MICHELIN Keys represent a new benchmark for remarkable stays, with MICHELIN Inspectors carefully evaluating hotels based on five universal criteria: excellence in interior design and architecture, quality and consistency in service, the hotel as an open door to the destination, consistency between experience and price, and individuality reflecting personality and authenticity.

One MICHELIN Key recognizes properties as “very special stays”—true gems with distinctive character and personality that provide exceptional service and experiences beyond similarly priced establishments.

Both properties have retained their One MICHELIN Key status from 2024, reaffirming our commitment to creating meaningful destination experiences that honor the unique character of each location while delivering world-class hospitality.

Rebun Island is home to Japan’s northernmost national park, “Rishiri-Rebun-Sarobetsu National Park,” boasting rich landscapes including mountains and sea cliffs formed by wave erosion. It is also a rare island where a wide variety of alpine plants bloom, earning it the nickname “Floating Island of Flowers”, and is home to endemic species such as Rebun Atsumorisou (Cypripedium macranthos var. rebunense) and Rebun Usuyukisou (Leontopodium discolor), which bloom only on Rebun Island. When visiting Rebun Island, trekking to enjoy the beautiful scenery is recommended.

Indulge in the Exclusive “Murasaki Uni Kaiseki Plan”: A 90-Day Only Purple Sea Urchin Feast

Iki Retreat by Onko Chishin is offering a special “Murasaki Uni Zukushi Kaiseki” (Full-Course Purple Sea Urchin) plan, allowing guests to fully savor the exquisite taste of “Murasaki Uni,” often called the jewel of the sea. This plan is available for a limited time, from Sunday, April 20th, 2025, to Saturday, July 19th, 2025.

Iki’s Murasaki Uni is nurtured by the nutrient-rich seaweed and seawater of the Genkai Sea, and is characterized by its rich sweetness, creamy texture, and elegant umami flavor. Please enjoy a variety of dishes that bring out the best of the Murasaki Uni’s natural flavors.

About Iki Murasaki Uni

Murasaki Uni (Purple Sea Urchin)

Iki Island, Nagasaki Prefecture, has long been nationally renowned for its high-quality seafood catches. Among these, uni (sea urchin) boasts an overwhelming brand power as a specialty of Iki.

The taste of sea urchin is said to be greatly influenced by the environment in which it grows and the seaweed it feeds on. The Genkai Sea around Iki Island is where the Kuroshio and Oyashio currents meet, creating an environment where high-quality seaweed thrives. In particular, the Iki kelp that sea urchins feed on is incredibly vigorous and rich in nutrients, growing as much as 90cm in a month during its growth period, thanks to the rough waves of the Genkai Sea and the abundant sunlight. Because Iki sea urchins feed on this seaweed, they are characterized by a deep umami and richness, with a lingering aftertaste of that richness in the mouth.

Furthermore, Murasaki Uni, which lives in shallow waters, is still primarily harvested using the traditional method of free-diving by Ama divers. The harvested uni is carefully removed from the shells by hand, one by one, by the Ama divers.

The ability to eat freshly caught uni with only a small amount of salt is another attraction that can only be experienced in this region.

Murasaki Uni Zukushi Kaiseki Plan (Full-Course Purple Sea Urchin Plan)

Signature Dish: “Kairi-yaki”

This is a 90-day limited-time plan that allows you to fully enjoy a luxurious kaiseki course featuring Murasaki Uni.

Among the dishes, the signature dish “Kairi-yaki” – black abalone topped with a generous amount of Murasaki Uni and grilled over a shichirin (small charcoal grill) – is so popular that repeat customers come back every year just for this dish. The moment you put it in your mouth, the tender texture of the abalone and the rich, elegant sweetness of the Murasaki Uni harmonize, creating a blissful experience.

Enjoy a moment of savoring the rich blessings of Iki, with only a small amount of salt used as seasoning to bring out the full flavor of the Murasaki Uni.

Reservation Period: From Tuesday, February 4th, 2025, to Thursday, July 17th, 2025, 5:00 PM

Stay Period: From Sunday, April 20th, 2025, to Saturday, July 19th, 2025

“Hotel LA VIGNE HAKUBU by Onko Chishin” to Open on December 19, 2024

Onko Chishin Inc. will open “Hotel La Vigne Hakuba by Onko Chishin” on December 19, 2024 (Thursday) in Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture, renowned as one of Japan’s leading snow resorts. This will be Onko Chishin’s first luxury hotel condominium operation.

Prior to the opening, a special opening ceremony was held on December 17 (Tuesday), featuring soil and grape seedlings from the Shinshu Wine Valley, in honor of the hotel’s name.

Opening Ceremony

“Hotel La Vigne Hakuba by Onko Chishin” Opens on December 19th (Thursday)

Hotel La Vigne Hakuba is a 38-room alpine resort hotel developed by List Development Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Hiroyuki Kiuchi, Head Office: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture) of the List Group, and operated by Onko Chishin. Located in Echoland, the central district of Hakuba Village, known as an international mountain resort, the hotel features expansive mountain views of the magnificent Northern Alps and facilities suitable for group stays and long-term stays. It also features a restaurant offering teppanyaki and French cuisine using over 1,000 Japanese wines and seasonal Shinshu ingredients, providing a unique Shinshu gourmet experience.

■ Opening Ceremony Held on December 17th (Tuesday)

On December 17th (Tuesday), an opening ceremony was held prior to the grand opening on December 19th (Thursday). The ceremony was attended by Tomoki Matsuyama, President and CEO of Onko Chishin, Hiroyuki Kiuchi, President and CEO of List Development Co., Ltd., Masuhiro Hiroya, President and CEO of Archvision Inc., and Ko Nishiko, of Villadest Winery. They offered congratulations on the opening and prayers for the hotel’s prosperity. In keeping with the hotel’s name, “La Vigne” (meaning “grapevine” in French), a special performance was held instead of the traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony. Soil collected from five regions of the Shinshu Wine Valley (Kikyogahara, Chikuma River, Yatsugatake West Slope, Tenryu River, and Japan Alps), known for producing high-quality wine in Nagano Prefecture, was placed on Merlot and Chardonnay seedlings. Just as it takes about three years for grapes to bear delicious fruit, this ceremony embodies the wish that La Vigne Hakuba will continue to mature amidst the rich nature of Shinshu and remain a hotel that contributes to the development of the region.

The ceremony was a warm and heartwarming event, reflecting the natural blessings of Shinshu and the charm of the region, characteristic of La Vigne Hakuba.

A New Destination Hotel on Rebun Island: REBUN HOTEL SARYO in Rebun Island, Hokkaido, to Rebrand and Open on April 24, 2025

REBUN HOTEL SARYO (formerly Mitsui Kanko Hotel) on Rebun Island, Hokkaido, to Rebrand and Open in April 2025

REBUN HOTEL SARYO on Rebun Island, Hokkaido, will be renamed REBUN HOTEL SARYO (hereinafter referred to as ‘Saryo’)”, with a pre-opening (with some restrictions) on April 1, 2025 (Tuesday), and a rebrand opening on April 24, 2025 (Thursday). Reservations can be made from today, October 16th (Wednesday), on the official website and other platforms.

Official Website: https://rebun.by-onko-chishin.com/

“Saryo” was formerly “Mitsui Kanko Hotel,” which Onko Chishin acquired in September 2023. It became Onko Chishin’s first directly owned property. After preparations, it is now ready for its rebrand opening. It is the third facility on a remote island following “Iki Retreat Kairi Murakami by Onko Chishin” and “Goto Retreat ray by Onko Chishin”.

Rebun Island in Hokkaido is Japan’s northernmost island in the Sea of Japan. The average temperature in August is 19.7 degrees Celsius, below 20 degrees, making it especially cool even within Hokkaido. Guests can enjoy activities such as hiking and trekking.

Through this rebranding, “Saryo” is positioned as a showcase for the Rebun Island region, creating an opportunity for a new summer resort and providing a comfortable coolness and extraordinary stay experience.

The Concept Behind the New Name “REBUN HOTEL SARYO

The new name of the hotel, “REBUN HOTEL SARYO,” expresses the dignified beauty of the blooming flowers of Rebun Island and the cool breeze that envelops the island. Rebun Island is characterized by its pleasant coolness and magnificent nature, providing a refreshing feeling that purifies the mind and body. We named it “Saryo” with the desire to provide a stay where both mind and body can be healed in an environment surrounded by clear air and beautiful scenery.

Changes Made with the Rebranding

We have partially renovated the hotel to create a relaxing guest room space with a design that allows guests to feel Rebun Island throughout. Furthermore, to allow guests to fully enjoy Hokkaido’s gourmet food and fine sake, dinner will be changed from a kaiseki course to a buffet with free drinks.

In addition, with the renewal, we have newly introduced Wi-Fi equipment throughout the building, so you can comfortably use the Internet without worrying about the radio wave environment while staying on the remote island. In the future, we plan to support business use, including remote work and corporate training. We have established a comfortable communication environment, and you can enjoy a comfortable stay while feeling the abundant nature.

Guest Rooms

We have partially renovated the window frame counters, wallpaper, and other features to make you feel Rebun Island in every detail. Artwork inspired by Rebun Island and crafts by Hokkaido artists are displayed. On clear days, you can see the magnificent Mt. Rishiri Fuji towering in front of you from the window.
