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.

Based on the concept of "A Family Holiday in the Mountains," we offer dishes that make full use of the nature, Onsen, and abundant blessings of Nozawa Onsen throughout the four seasons. Some guest rooms were renovated in 2017 and 2021, and in 2022, we introduced a new kids' play area called "GOTA." This ensures a safe and enjoyable stay even for families with small children, regardless of the weather. In winter, our prime location is just zero seconds on foot to the slopes, allowing you to fully enjoy skiing and snowboarding. It’s perfect for families with children who want to enjoy playing in the snow or for those who wish to ski at a leisurely pace. From spring to summer, our farm-to-table dishes featuring foraged mountain vegetables, mushrooms, and homegrown produce are highly praised. In summer, you can enjoy BBQs, vegetable harvesting experiences, fireworks, and more. Additionally, there are plenty of active nature experiences such as SUP at Lake Hokuryu and cycling through the great outdoors. After a day full of activities, refresh your body and mind in our log house Onsen, which uses the famous "Shinyu" hot spring as its source. The temperature is carefully adjusted for families with children, allowing everyone to relax and soak together. Enjoy "A Family Holiday in the Mountains" surrounded by nature, all year round.
