Bandai-Asahi National Park spans across three prefectures: Fukushima, Yamagata, and Niigata. On the northern side of Mount Bandai, in the serene area of Urabandai and Obutaira, nestled quietly among the trees near Goshikinuma, lies "HOTELLI aalto." "Aalto" means "wave," and "Hotelli" is the Finnish word for "Hotel." Inspired by the desire to connect the rich Nordic lifestyle of living harmoniously with nature and the Japanese spirit of reverence for nature, Hotelli Aalto was created. Both the decor and the Property's services are rooted in the local culture of Urabandai and Aizu. By blending different cultures and lifestyles, it has emerged as a uniquely distinctive Property like no other.
