mont

Nozawa Onsen Village is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Here, the blessings of the mountains become snow and water that nourish the land, eventually welling up as Onsen. Meanwhile, trees from the forest are fashioned into festival towers lit with fire for Dosojin Matsuri, a traditional winter event passed down through generations alongside people’s prayers. “mont” is an Accommodation reborn from a century-old wooden Ryokan that once welcomed travelers in the heart of the village. Preserving its historic structure and design while blending in modern sensibility and comfort, it has been renewed not merely as a place to stay, but as a hub that carries the area’s living memories and culture into the future. In this land where opposing energies—fire and water—circulate, enjoy time wrapped in the scent of the forest, the hush of snow, and the warmth of a wood fire. We offer a stay where people and nature, past and future gently meet.

On the first floor, the main dining room features a wood-fire grill inspired by beech forests and festival flames. Gather around the flickering fire as we grill Shinshu meats, vegetables, and other carefully sourced ingredients—boldly yet delicately. Here, fire is more than a cooking method; it is the memory of this land itself. Its warmth and aroma bring Nozawa’s character to life through all five senses. (22 seats total / Open to non-staying guests)

All 10 guest rooms have been reimagined to embrace the quiet of a snow country, while preserving the character of traditional beams and earthen walls. Each room features one-of-a-kind artwork inspired by memories of earth, water, and prayer, offering a different expression of Nozawa in every stay. Savor spring water, local sake, or craft gin as time gently slows down around you.
