Located in the famous Onsen town of Nozawa, known for its 13 public baths, this property offers the experience of enjoying two different hot spring sources within its premises.

A century-old building reborn as the boutique Hotel “mont,” standing in the heart of Nozawa Onsen, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and beech forests. Mountain blessings become snow, then water that nourishes the land, and eventually spring forth as Onsen. Forest trees, too, become the festival tower that lights the winter Dosojin Fire Festival, carrying local memories into the future. Inspired by these two opposing yet life-giving energies—“fire” and “water”—we have shaped our spaces, cuisine, and drinks. At our wood-fire restaurant, seasonal local ingredients are grilled to a fragrant finish; in your room, enjoy moments with village craft gin and regional sake. In this place where nature and culture flow in cycles, experience a stay where people and nature gently return to one.
