Nature
People are not the only protagonists.
Alpine plants, forests, ponds and wetlands, wildlife, autumn foliage, starry skies and snow: step into the changing seasons of the national park.

Stay in the quiet at 1,600 meters.
Nishihoppo Onsen Hotel is a mountain retreat at 1,600 meters in Shiga Kogen, part of Joshin'etsu Kogen National Park and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Spring brings fresh greenery and alpine plants; summer offers cool-air hiking and forest walks; autumn brings vivid foliage, sea-of-cloud views and clear starry skies; winter reveals Japan powder, skiing and snowshoeing. Natural onsen and local Nagano ingredients, including mountain produce and game, connect every season to this landscape.
Our Philosophy
Together with nature,
we shape the future of this place.
We do not want to consume the nature here simply as a tourism resource. We want this to be a place that communicates its history, cycles, and the connection between people and nature.
Walking through the forest, soaking in the hot spring, and tasting local ingredients. Through these experiences, we hope to create moments that invite reflection on our relationship with nature and the environment.
We receive nature's gifts, understand their value, and pass them on to the next generation. We are growing Nishihoppo Onsen Hotel into a place where a new relationship between people and nature can be experienced.
