Established in 1937, this hotel is a pioneering highland resort built by the Okura Zaibatsu of the time, following the Kamikochi Imperial Hotel and Kawana Hotel. It boasts spectacular views from 1,000 meters above sea level and free-flowing natural hot spring baths fed directly from the source of Akakura Onsen, said to have opened in the Edo period.

One of the pleasures of staying here is the food. In addition to classic French cuisine served in the main dining room, which has preserved the hotel’s culinary traditions for many years, guests can also enjoy creative Western-style dishes with outstanding views, Japanese cuisine made with abundant seasonal ingredients, and sushi prepared right in front of them by skilled chefs.
Refreshing highland air, spectacular views, gourmet cuisine that continues to impress food lovers, free-flowing natural hot springs rich in benefits, elegant service, and refined spaces, everything comes together for a superb luxury stay that delights all five senses.
