Norikura Kogen Onsen Pension Grindelwald
Nagano Prefecture/MatsumotoA Swiss-style log cabin! Perfect for sightseeing in Kamikochi and Norikura! Just a 2-minute walk to the ski slopes in winter! Enjoy a relaxing getaway with natural Onsen!
A log house pension modeled after a Swiss home, located at an altitude of 1500m, exuding the fragrance of wood. During the green season, you can enjoy sightseeing in Kamikochi and Mt. Norikura, with nearby attractions including Shirahone Onsen, Azumino, and Takayama for day trips. Even in midsummer, the maximum temperature is around 25°C, and mornings and evenings are below 20°C, providing natural air conditioning for a comfortable stay. Norikura Highlands is also a stargazing paradise! At Ichinose Meadow, you can experience the best starry sky with no artificial light and crystal-clear air. Starting from late September, the autumn foliage begins at the upper part of Mt. Norikura and gradually descends the mountain. By mid-October, the highlands reach their peak with vibrant autumn colors. In November, the larch forests across Norikura Highlands turn golden, painting the late autumn scenery of Norikura. In winter, the property is ideally located just a 2-minute walk from the Mt. Norikura Ski Resort slopes! Enjoy skiing and snowboarding on the finest powder snow. Our Onsen features water drawn from the "Norikura Kogen Suzuran Onsen" in the Suzuran area, known for its gentle and skin-beautifying properties. After bathing, the warmth lingers, keeping you cozy. The Onsen is generally available for private use, but during full occupancy, it may be separated by gender depending on the guest composition. Dinner is a casual Western course meal including soup, salad, fish dish, meat dish, rice, and dessert. Breakfast is an American-style breakfast with unlimited refills of bread, coffee, and tea.
My husband and I stayed here in July.The meals were truly delicious, and the Onsen was wonderful. On the way home we even said, “It was so good we wish they ran a restaurant,” and it became an unforgettable taste for us.The living room had a warm, nostalgic atmosphere—like the shop where Kiki’s mother works in *Kiki’s Delivery Service*. The owners were lovely people, and Mugi-chan was incredibly soothing as well.They also kindly provided Shuttle Service early in the morning, which helped us a lot. Thanks to that, although rockfall on 7/1 meant we had to start from the Daisekkei bus stop, we were able to safely hike Mt. Norikura up to Tatamidaira and Maodake, and fully take in the spectacular scenery unique to this season.Thank you so much for your heartfelt hospitality. We would love to visit again.
Yahoo!トラベルユー... 7/10/2026This was my first stay, and it was also my first time in Norikura Kogen, so I’m glad I could hear lots of helpful information. The breakfast and dinner were delicious, and if free refills were available for dinner, as well as morning coffee and bread, I would have liked to eat more… The hot water was soft too, and it left my skin feeling smooth. I hope to visit again.
