  • My second stay—this place really is my favorite!The bath is especially amazing; I could soak in it forever.With the solo traveler Plan, you can enjoy as much alcohol-free sake—including some rare varieties—as you like at dinner, so I’d love to share the experience with others, but the alcohol-free option is hard to beat (lol).I’ll be back!

  • A long-held wish finally came true, and I stayed for 2 nights and 3 days this time. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great, but since my goal was to relax at the Hotel rather than go sightseeing, I was able to take it easy and unwind. The restaurant and Onsen were on the same floor as my Room, which made them very convenient to use. The meals were excellent—the portions and course balance were just right, and everything tasted wonderful. The Onsen was truly soothing, with the scent of trees and flowers in the air. The Room was simple and spotless, perfect for relaxing, and the library had a great selection of books plus complimentary drinks—an ideal place to unwind. Everything felt perfectly balanced with nothing lacking or excessive, all staff were pleasant, and I’d love to return next year as well. This is an outstanding Hotel where I’d like to stay longer if I can get time off!

Notice from the Accommodation

  • Mount Bandai viewed over Yarokunuma Pond from the backyard.

    Indulge in the luxury of doing nothing in refreshing Urabandai. A secluded summer highland stay.

    Escape the summer heat and crowds, and unwind at your own pace on a cool highland plateau.
    Why not enjoy a refined summer retreat at Urabandai Kogen Hotel?

    Urabandai Kogen Hotel is a highland resort surrounded by the rich nature of Mt. Bandai and the Goshikinuma Ponds. It’s ideal not only for a refreshing summer getaway, but also for a relaxing stay spent entirely within the Hotel.

    Instead of rushing from one sightseeing spot to another, relax in comfortable guest rooms, soothe your body in our free-flowing Onsen (from the source; water added), and savor meals that highlight seasonal ingredients.
    In the morning and evening, feel the crisp highland breeze as you stroll freely around the Hotel grounds or near the Goshikinuma Ponds.

    This is Urabandai’s unique “luxury of staying put,” where time spent in and around the Hotel itself becomes part of your travel memories.
    A quiet, fulfilling summer experience that can only be enjoyed when you stay with us.

    This summer, treat yourself to a refined resort stay in cool Urabandai—one that gently restores both body and mind.
    We look forward to welcoming you.
