Founder Atuy

"Around Lake Kussharo, human can live without any inconvenience. It was a utopia, full of natural blessings and, above all, free from natural disasters." Ainu elders speak quietly.

 

Marukibune, which is located in front of great lake Kussharo, runs more than 40 years in this area, as a pioneer of Ainu cuisine restaurant in Hokkaido. The founder is Atuy(means "Ocean" in Ainu language), a descendant of the Ainu.

 

Marukibune's interior is all decorated by Atuy, and fish we serve at the restaurant also what he caught at Lake Kussharo.

We hope our guest spend a special time in our hotel & restaurant.
