Located by the incredibly scenic Kappa Bridge (Kappa-bashi) in the heart of Kamikochi, the Gosenjaku Hotel is the perfect base for hiking the mountain and valley trails of Japan's Northern Alps. This historic hotel's guest rooms combine classic Japanese hospitality with modern comfort, and rooms overlooking the Azusa River offer one of the region's most breathtaking views. The hotel restaurant's French-inspired mountain-to-table menu features thoughtfully chosen seasonal ingredients, and the downstairs cafe is the place for local apple pie and a warm drink. A haven for nature lovers, the hotel's location makes it simply to connect with Kamikochi’s spectacular natural surroundings. The onsite public onsen is a nice way to rejuvenate tired legs after a day on the trails.
