Our hotel consists of the main building and the Shirakaba-an Villa. There is a warm wood stove in the lobby just inside the main building. Relax and unwind while sipping tea brewed by a staff member from Taiwan. Shirakaba-an Villa, completed in 2020, was designed by Kenta Sano, a disciple of architect Toyo Ito. Fascinated by the beautiful scenery surrounding the villa, Sano aimed to create a building that would blend into the landscape and become part of the forest.

The owner, a mountain guide, handcrafted this special space from scratch. The motto is "an urban mountain hut" and "turning an ordinary day into the best day possible." The lodge operates quietly away from the downtown area. The first floor is a restaurant and bar area, which can be used as a place to exchange information with other guests and local regulars. All the wood used for the tables is cut from a single tree, creating a uniform and warm space. The restaurant is open from 6pm until midnight, with last food orders at 12am and last drink orders at 1:30pm. Outside of opening hours, the lodge is open to guests.
