Just four villas on the land of Hokkaido.
SONEKA has been selected for the MICHELIN Guide 2026.

Watsu, Hokkaido.
Set within 77,000㎡ of forest and grassland, SONEKA is home to just four villas.
We are honored to have been selected for the “MICHELIN Guide Hotel Selection,”
which introduces outstanding accommodations around the world.

What we have always valued is not adding layer upon layer of luxury,
but inviting you to deeply feel what this land already holds.

Moor hot springs welling up from the earth.
Wood-fired cuisine that brings Hokkaido’s seasonal ingredients to life over the flame.
The wind crossing the forest, the scent of the grasslands, the stillness of the night.

We wanted to create a place not for doing something,
but for surrendering yourself to the nature of Hokkaido.
SONEKA was born from that wish.
To all our guests who found this place, visited, and spent precious time with us,
and to everyone who has helped build and support SONEKA,
we extend our heartfelt gratitude.

This selection is not a goal for us, but a new step forward.
We will continue to embrace the nature of Watsu
and carefully create time that could only be born from this land.
