 JAPANESE GARDEN

The Japanese garden in SENSYOEN is a traditional Japanese-style garden created by our second-generation president carrying and piling up the soil, stones, and flowers for himself.

Despite facing some challenges like the water supply problems while building the garden, as time progressed, the moss eventually grew, and it became the beautiful garden as it is today.

After soaking in the evening bath or enjoying a morning coffee in the garden lounge, have a moment or two of relaxation and relish the beauty of the Japanese garden that we’ve cherished for a long time. It’ll make you forget the fatigue of travel and even the passing of time.

 

 SENSYOEN'S SOBA

SENSYOEN was founded by the second generation president who purchased a soba noodle shop here in Takasagodai. At that time, they inherited the buckwheat sauce from the buckwheat noodle shop’s kitchen and decided to operate as an inn that could serve delicious handmade soba, and thus the current SENSYOEN was born.

The soba noodle shop adjacent to SENSYOEN serves delicious handmade soba using buckwheat flour harvested in the suburbs of Asahikawa City and the famous water of Takasagodai.

In addition to soba, SENSYOEN’s signature dishes include pumpkin gratin and fried chicken, which the fourth-generation president grew up eating.

 SENSYOEN'S SPRING WATER

The bathing water at SENSYOEN is the worth-a-try boiled cold mineral spring that is gentle on the skin and hair and smoothly warms your body, although not strictly the hot spring. Our cold mineral spring water also tastes clear and refreshing, and it makes your dinner taste better.

The water of the pitcher provided in a refrigerator of your room is without mentioning this cold mineral spring water.

 SWEET HOME ASAHIKAWA

We can’t help but loving our hometown Asahikawa, Hokkaido, and Japan.

Asahikawa, located in the center of Hokkaido and as a hub city to gather any fresh ingredients from the whole area of Hokkaido, is well-known for a gourmet city.

That is a reason for us to continue to stick to local and domestic products.
