屈斜路湖鶴雅オーベルジュ・SoRa, Kussharo-ko, Hokkaido, Japan  @sora_kussyaroko  The term オーベルジュ comes from “Auberge” in French. In Japan, it usually means accommodation with luxurious environment and creative cuisine.   SoRa at Lake Kussharo in Hokkaido is a boutique B&B with only two rooms. And the hotel only opens from late April to late October each year. The hotel usually opens reservation system in March.   I was determined to get a room in SoRa during my trip in Hokkaido. Therefore, I booked the room on the first or second day it opened its reservation system.   We stayed in the guest room “Berry”. Almost everything was great during our stay except that it was raining outside. But given the high price level of this hotel, I think one thing that they can improve is the meal, especially dinner. The dinner was good but didn’t impress me a lot. (Maybe it was because I had high expectations.) But I did like the overall atmosphere there.   There were also some beautiful details in the room and the lounge that made this hotel unique and special. My daughter found some picture books for children in the hotel (although in Japanese). She also found quite a few interesting sketches by Olle Eksell in the room and the staircase.   Swipe to see the photos of the secret hot spring of Kotan Onsen (not so secret nowadays :P) nearby and the Sunayu where there is hot spring water under the sand beside Lake Kussharo.   More details are described in the comments of this post.

【MIDWAY JOURNAL extra.】53 - 快樂設計 Olle Eksell 另一張在旅行時買回來的產品設計海報就被Johan看上了，並Repost了在他們的Instagram之內。這張海報是Olle Eksell剛從美國歸來時，替飲品商「Loranga」所繪製的。因為畫作使人聯想起其好友Paul Rand的舊作，他因此還把插圖寄給Paul Rand並詢問，而得到的答案竟是「Nonsense！」。
