[2025 Abashiri Hotels] Travel Guide for Hokuten no Oka Abashiriko Tsuruga Resort (Updated Jul)

The open kitchen, brimming with a sense of openness, offers a menu featuring ingredients from Hokkaido's Okhotsk region. There's freshly fried tempura, sashimi including salmon, Moyoro pot where you can choose your ingredients, and pizza baked in a stone oven. There are so many options it can be hard to choose, but dinner is enjoyable. Desserts are plentiful, and you'll leave feeling full. If you're staying over, I recommend the hotel buffet for dinner. 【Lodging】Kitaten no Oka Abashiri Lake Tsuruga Resort 【Location】159 Yobito, Abashiri, Hokkaido 【Access】About 15 minutes by car from Memanbetsu Airport 【Reference Budget】From 18,000 yen (for 2 people, 1 room with 2 meals) Check-in 15:00 Check-out 10:00 Visit Date: Mid-February 2024

You can enjoy a menu that you would expect in Hokkaido from the morning. The sashimi (salmon with ikura) can be put on rice to make a seafood bowl, and you can choose your favorite ingredients for freshly made omelets and miso soup. The bread was also delicious. On the way to the breakfast venue, I even encountered a wild Ezo squirrel. It was a very satisfying hotel morning.
