GOSENJAKU HOTEL KAMIKOCHI

Gosenjaku Hotel Kamikochi is a luxury resort hotel set in the great nature of Kamikochi. With only 29 guest rooms, each offers an elegant space suited to refreshing mind and body away from everyday life. Located in the “sacred land” of Kamikochi—historically said to mean “the place where gods descend”—it is a long-established inn with over 100 years of history since 1918. At this hotel where you can fully feel nature and hospitality, you can enjoy high-end French cuisine as well as hearty local meals like the “Sanzoku set.” A key feature is its nature guide service: for those who want to enjoy Kamikochi’s nature but feel unsure, or those who prefer to learn deeply with explanations, guided walks are highly recommended. It’s reservation-based and remarkably starts from a minimum of just one participant—great for solo travelers and those less accustomed to walking in nature. The hotel is also available for weddings; it’s close to Kappa-bashi, the symbol of Kamikochi, and weddings surrounded by 3,000-meter-class mountains offer an unforgettable setting. Operations are from early April to late November, so be mindful of your travel dates.
