Set back from the town in the deep forests and high mountains of the Japanese Alps, the Associa Hotel offers a high standard of facilities in a peaceful and secluded location.
The hotel has a couple of fine restaurants and like many Japanese resort hotels has excellent indoor and outdoor onsen bathing facilities, an integral part of any Japan experience. The open air baths on the top floor look out over the mountains and are particularly great for relaxation. Rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, and on a clear day offer spectacular views over the Japanese Alps.
Where possible, we like to offer a range of accommodation for each stop of your trip, chosen by our specialists as some of their favorite places to stay. To help you make the right choice, we give each property a rating based on its facilities and service, but we also look for hotels with distinct character or a location that can’t be bettered.
