Overlooking the five peaks of Hokushin, along the crystal-clear waters of the Chikuma River. A sterling highland resort, orchestrating a harmony of natural beauty, history and culture.
Matsushiro, known as the “little Kyoto” of the Shinshu
region, retains clear vestiges of its past days as a castle town. Among
the many popular tourist stops here are samurai manors tracked back
to the powerful Sanada Clan of Japan's feudal era, as well as Kawanakajima,
the site of a legendary 16th century battle waged between celebrated
military commanders Shingen Takeda and Kenshin Uesugi. Other attractions
not far off include the famous Zenko Temple, a series of art museum
in Obuse (an area famed for its savory chestnuts) and other interaction
with local culture and history, turning back the clock to past eras.
Also located nearby is Shiga Heights and other areas with topflight
skiing, golfing and other recreation, making this a resort hotel that
overflows with fun and activity year-round.
* The “five peaks of Hokushin” collectively refers to Mt. Iizuna, Mt. Togakushi, Mt. Kurohime, Mt. Myoko and Mt. Madarao.
