At an altitude of 1,550 meters, unwind with a refined escape at a highland resort overlooking the lake.

—Harmony with nature, cherished in the Nordic lifestyle.— Even in the extraordinary moments of your journey, we want you to relax and experience Tateshina’s beautiful nature as if it were part of everyday life. On Wednesday, January 21, 2026, our Hotel was reborn as a nature Resort Hotel where you can feel Tateshina’s natural beauty while staying indoors.

  • I was surprised by how old the exterior looked, but the inside had been renovated and was very clean and beautiful. We stayed in a Deluxe Family Room for two families, and it was even nicer than expected—above all, it offered excellent value for money. The thorough cleaning also made our stay very comfortable. I forgot to mention this at reception, but there were a few bees on the balcony. For guests with children, I think it would be helpful to provide a warning in advance so they don’t accidentally open the windows.The meals were delicious, and we also loved the service that let us take our after-dinner coffee outside and relax while looking out over the lake.There was also a kids’ corner, and the post-bath juice service seemed to be a big hit with the children. We skipped stargazing due to cloudy skies, but I thought it would be nice if there were a handheld fireworks service in summer as well.We would love to stay again if we have another opportunity.

  • Even though the altitude is high, I still felt I would want air conditioning even in early July, so I don’t plan to stay here in midsummer. The meals were different from when it was Ambient, but they were still very enjoyable. The daylilies (Nikko kisuge) at Kurumayama were only about 20–30% in bloom; I guess around July 11–12 is the best time to see them, though it will probably be very crowded. I’d like to plan a trip in autumn to see the fall foliage, but since I’m not a member the room rates are probably too high for me, so I may have to give up. I’d also like to visit once during winter when everything is covered in snow.

The Deluxe Twin, themed “An extraordinary stay like spending time in a tent by Lake Megami,” features calming earth tones for a stay that blends into the nature of Tateshina. *Interior design varies by Room.

The lobby has been transformed into an open, airy lounge where you can feel at one with the nature just outside the windows. Inspired by Nordic values of comfort, coziness, and calm, the gentle warmth of the fireplace’s soft flames soothes away travel fatigue. In addition, a new sauna has been added to the large public bath area, inspired by Finnish and Nordic sauna traditions.
