About Onsen Guesthouse The SUNSET Shiretoko
Onsen Guesthouse The SUNSET Shiretoko is a guesthouse in Shari Town, Hokkaido. Every room faces the ocean, so you can watch the beautiful sunset over the Sea of Okhotsk. The main bathhouse has two kinds of sauna: a rugged, wild-looking one built from hinoki logs and a modern Nordic one fragrant with red cedar. Both offer löyly you pour yourself. After cooling down in the outdoor cold plunge, you can sink into a natural onsen, a chloride spring that holds its warmth well and gently envelops the body. There is also a shared kitchen and a quiet lounge for overnight guests only, making for a relaxed stay at your own pace surrounded by the wild nature of Shiretoko.
Hot SpringONSEN
The main bathhouse
A natural onsen, a sodium chloride-bicarbonate spring that retains heat well and keeps you from getting chilled after bathing. The water feels soft on the skin and slowly warms a tired body to the core. Soaking in the quiet at the end of the day, you can enjoy a blissful moment as body and mind unwind.
SaunaSAUNA
YUUMI SAUNA
A sauna with a rugged, wild look built from hinoki logs. True to its name, the window looks out on the beautiful sunset sinking into the Sea of Okhotsk. A HARVIA convection stove allows löyly you pour yourself, so you can adjust the humidity and temperature to your liking and take your time working up a sweat in a quiet space wrapped in the scent of wood.
SAAMI SAUNA
A modern sauna made of red cedar. Patterns of the Sámi people of northern Scandinavia decorate the room, giving it a refined feel. It uses an EOS stove and also allows löyly you pour yourself. Feel the pleasant heat and the steam circulating around you as you spend a deeply relaxing time in the silence.
Cold BathCOLD BATH
Cold plunge
An outdoor cold plunge. With the fresh air all around you, you can thoroughly cool a body flushed from the sauna. The water temperature changes with the seasons, so part of the appeal is tasting the natural chill of each time of year. Chairs for resting indoors and outdoors stand right nearby, so you can step straight out for a pleasant spell of cooling off in the open air.
