Kamikochi Imperial Hotel

This time, I stayed at the long-admired Imperial Hotel with my mother. She used to love hiking and once climbed the Hotaka mountain range, and she told me that she and her friends talked about how they wanted to stay here someday. Her wish finally came true, and she was absolutely delighted. We were very satisfied to see Hotaka from our Room balcony. The Room was spotless and very comfortable. The staff were kind and carefully explained the route to Kappa Bridge. The restaurant was fully booked for dinner, but when we said we would browse the souvenir shop, they kindly came to let us know as soon as a table became available. This time, we were on a waiting list, and luckily a cancellation opened up so we were able to stay. On the way home, my mother and I kept saying, “Let’s come again.” We would love to visit again.

I had long admired the Kamikochi Imperial Hotel. I had visited Kamikochi several times for hiking, and each time I hoped to stay there someday.This time, the timing worked out and I was finally able to visit.For our family it felt like a special treat, but we were truly impressed—not only by the wonderful location and beautiful building, but also by how delicious the food was. Above all, we were moved by the outstanding hospitality: every staff member spoke to us warmly yet politely, even the housekeeping team greeted us with a smile, and they treated our preschool-aged child with such kindness and care.I’m not sure when we’ll be able to return, but we definitely want to come back again.Thank you very much!
