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.
My first visit to Kamikochi became a wonderful memory! The staff were very kind and attentive, and I had a comfortable stay. The Room was well cleaned, making it pleasant to spend time in. The Room was also easy to use, with a view of the Azusa River from the room.
きゃらぼう 9/14/2026This 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.

Kamikochi, surrounded by the Northern Alps and home to the crystal-clear Azusa River originating from Mount Yari, is one of Japan's premier resort destinations. The area is dotted with scenic spots, offering opportunities for leisurely walks or photography to suit individual preferences. Located within Chubu Sangaku National Park, Kamikochi features well-maintained walking trails, ensuring a safe and enjoyable nature experience for women and children alike.
Soak in the Onsen that has been flowing since the era when Walter Weston, known as the father of modern Japanese mountaineering, stayed here and Kotaro Takamura and Chieko promised their marriage. Relax and rejuvenate while immersing yourself in nature.
The night sky in Kamikochi is filled with countless stars that cannot be seen in the city. Surrounded by the Northern Alps, the clear night sky of Kamikochi resembles a giant planetarium.
