Kamikochi Lemeista Hotel

Nagano Prefecture／Kamikochi
¥105,600～
Dinner and Breakfast included ; 2 peopleTax included¥95,040〜
(USD 595.71)

All rooms offer mountain views and are 45 m² or larger, each with a private hot-spring bath fed directly from the source. Savor traditional French cuisine crafted with carefully selected ingredients.

Operating dates for 2026: April 25 (Saturday) to November 14 (Saturday). Reservations are now open. Following the renovation of guest rooms and the restaurant in 2024, our accommodation has been highly praised by guests. Our signature onsen with natural hot spring water is available not only in the large public bath but also in every guest room. Dinner features a full-course French cuisine prepared by an experienced chef using seasonal ingredients from Shinshu, complemented by wines recommended by our sommelier. The hotel is located away from Kappa Bridge, offering a serene experience surrounded by nature. With over 100 years of history since its days as "Shimizuya Ryokan," where Walter Weston, the father of modern Japanese mountaineering, once stayed, we invite you to visit Kamikochi Lemeista Hotel at least once.

  • I’ve made my next Reservation!

    This was my first stay, and both the view and the meals were excellent. The large public bath was a bit too hot for me, but I really enjoyed the massage chair. The Room was wonderful, so I made a Reservation for my next stay because I want to stay in the same Room again. I’m looking forward to it, and I hope to visit again soon.

  • Thank you very much ...

    Thank you very much for taking care of us for three days.All of the staff were kind, and we had a truly relaxing stay. Unfortunately, it rained on the first day, but Kamikochi in the rain had its own special charm. On the second day, we were blessed with clear weather and left the Hotel in the morning to walk from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge and then to Myojin Pond, taking breaks along the way—it took about five hours. We were quite tired, but soaking in the Hotel’s Onsen completely refreshed us. On the morning of the third day, we even encountered a large troop of monkeys during our walk, which was a rare and valuable experience.It felt like a dreamlike three days. We believe it was all thanks to everyone at Lumiesta Hotel. We would love to visit again. Thank you very much.
