The concept of Portom International Hokkaido is "chance encounters and variety on your journey." There's a lot of Japanese art and craftwork on display in the hotel.

World-famous artists like Katsushika Hokusai and Jakuchū Itō will greet guests here. We want to make the hotel like a concierge to all of Hokkaido's beautiful landscapes and delicious cuisine.

It will be just a three-minute walk from the international arrivals lobby, which was expanded in August 2019. There will also be the kind of fabulous services and supreme relaxation you'll only get from a high-class hotel.

New Chitose Airport has always been the gateway to Hokkaido, but with 3.12 million international tourists arriving yearly (as of 2018), this hotel is becoming the gateway to all of Japan. That's why I think this hotel will be an essential step for communicating the beauty and culture of Japan.

The 171 guest rooms range from the 43㎡ Superia rooms to 250㎡ top-class suites. There's plenty of space, so long stays will be just as comfortable. Another important trait is how each room is designed to give you a sense of Japan. Each guest room has authentic Japanese art decorations.

Each suite is given a name linked to Japanese culture. The three types are "Sukiya" "Rinpa" and "Zen," each with their own layout and furnishings. The Sukiya suites are this hotel's highest rank of guest rooms, with "Sukiya-zukuri" traditional architectural elements of Japan. They also have a living room, dining room, and bedroom.

Rinpa suites have high-class lacquerware furnishings, golden sliding screens, and other elements contributing to an atmosphere of elegance. The monochrome interior design of the Zen suites lends them a sense of stateliness, and the suites can be connected with neighboring Junior suites. You'll be able to enjoy natural hot spring baths in any of these suites. Attention was given to all the guest rooms to express Japanese beauty.

Of course! First, I'd like you to take a look at the Tea Room, where you can enjoy an authentic Japanese tea ceremony. It's also designed with genuine Sukiya-zukuri architecture, complete with a garden and thatch roof. Modern lighting techniques let you feel the passage of time, even indoors. In the Tea Room, you'll enjoy delicious tea and Japanese sweets, of course, but with its art fixtures and tea ceremony tools, you should be able to sense the "spirit of hospitality" only found in Japan. You'll also see Japanese dances in the reception room at the back of the Tea Room.

You'll find more Japanese art and art made with traditional Japanese techniques in places like the lobby and guest salon. You'll find well-known Japanese art like Jakuchū Itō's "Fushimi Dolls" and various ukiyo-e woodblock prints.

The guest rooms on the fifth through eighth floors share an atrium in their center. The centerpiece is called the Art Garden, with hanging banners made using traditional methods, like vegetable dyes. It's striking to behold. The floor shines like the surface of a lake, and the natural colors reflecting upon it are incredible.

For Japanese food, you'll have "Kyoto Shimogamosaryo Kita-no-Hanare," a branch of the 160-year-old mainstay Shimogamosaryo in Kyoto. Their Kyoto-style full-course meals are both traditional and revolutionary, and from them, you'll get a sense of the hospitality one finds in the tea ceremony.

For Western-style food, you'll have "TATERU YOSHINO PORTOM INTERNATIONAL HOKKAIDO," overseen by none other than Tateru Yoshino himself, the chef celebrated by connoisseurs around the world, and who has obtained Michelin stars in France and Japan. Inspired by the passionate chef's innovative interpretation of modern fine French dining, combining the very best of Europe culinary style and local Hokkaido ingredients with exceptional presentation.

For casual dining, stop anytime by "Cafe Sky Library," or perhaps enjoy a rich cigar at "THE BAR - The Cigar Bar," an authentic lounge.

One of this Hokkaido luxury hotel's greatest strengths is its location. You'll have easy access to all of Hokkaido's popular tourism attractions. Following are some easily accessible areas from Sapporo.

The Shakotan Peninsula is on the west coast of Hokkaido. It's famous for its emerald green seas, the kind you might see around a tropical island. No doubt kayaking on this beautiful sea would make for an unforgettable memory. You'll also get to taste exquisite sea urchins from the seas of Shakotan!

Stay the night at a Yunokawa area resort hotel and view the sea as you take a hot spring bath

Get up early and get breakfast at the morning market in front of Hakodate Station. After that, head for Ōnuma Park and its wealth of activities. You can go ice-fishing for pond smelt on the lake's frozen surface. Thrill seekers will love taking snowmobiles out on the ice.
