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.

“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.
