"A 45-minute drive from New Chitose to Shiraoi, Kai Poroto blends contemporary minimalism with traditional Ainu design — its stylish lobby literally brings the outside in with white birch trunks, the lake-front onsen features blackened timber silhouettes inspired by Ainu dwellings, rooms are soft and subdued with floor-to-ceiling windows, and meals are private set-menu experiences using seasonal produce and Ainu-inspired recipes." - Jonnie Bayfield
