Small Hotel C'est la vie

A secluded auberge nestled within a roughly 24.5-acre campground surrounded by the rich natural beauty of Chichibu and Nagatoro. Small Hotel C'est la vie, which focuses on fine dining at its restaurant, has just five individually designed guest rooms. Antique furniture and stained glass decorate the interior, creating the relaxed atmosphere of a private vacation home.

Most guest rooms feature open-air baths, where guests can soak while admiring views of a bamboo grove or the Chichibu mountains. The hotel's only Japanese-style room, La room, features tatami beds for a comfortable stay across generations.

The hotel is also deeply committed to its cuisine, serving seasonal kaiseki dinners featuring more than 65 varieties of vegetables. The flavorful dishes highlight the natural qualities of primarily local ingredients, offering a meal that nourishes both body and mind.

Attentive hospitality typical of a small property is another draw, including a private open-air bath with an abundant flow of water and late checkout exclusively for guests who book through the official website. It is ideal for adults seeking a peaceful stay amid the natural beauty of Nagatoro.
