Hotel Neuschloss Otaru is located in the beautiful Niseko-Shakotan-

Otaru Shoreline Quasi-National Park, overlooking the Sea of Japan. 

Neuschloss, meaning "New Castle" in German, has an exterior reminiscent 

of a Vienna castle and and is considered a "Castle Floating in the Sky." 

Located 15 minutes away from the center of the city, this is the perfect 

place to relax and be surrounded by nature after a day of sightseeing.

Sitting atop a high hill just above the Otaru Aquarium, 

all rooms have breathtaking views and a private open-air bath.

  Suite Room  

In addition to the private bath in each room, there is a larger public bath 

in the basement and free WiFi is available in every room as well as the lobby.

Blau Kuste, meaning "blue seashore" in German, offers French cuisine using 

local Otaru and Hokkaido ingredients. While many think of French dining 

as a formal occasion, at Hotel Neuschloss, they provide a casual approach 

with no dress code, so jeans and t-shirts are ok. French course dishes can 

be eaten with chopsticks and this relaxed atmosphere allows diners to simply

 enjoy their delicious meal and have a wonderful time. Also guests staying for more than one night can enjoy a different breakfast menu during their stay.

  ACCESS  

 BY CAR:  approximately 15-minutes from JR Otaru Station      

BY BUS:  approximately 25-30 minutes from JR Otaru Station

               Bus #10 Otaru Aquarium Line or #11 Shukutsu Line

               Bus Stop: Otaru Aquarium, 10-minute walk to hotel

While you can take the bus, it is a very tiring 10-minute hike

up a steep hill to the hotel from the bus stop so we recommend

 taking advantage of their free shuttle service from JR Otaru Station. 

*Reservations are required so please contact the hotel.
