LIFESTYLE HOTEL 2023
[New] Japanese inns with superb views

The sea, mountains, forests, islands, mountain streams, rice terraces...
A hotel where you can fully enjoy the rich nature.

One of the reasons Japan is loved as a travel destination is because of its beautiful scenery.
Japan has an abundance of nature, such as the sea, mountains, forests, and mountain streams, and is blessed with seasonal plants.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of inns with superb views built to coexist with such beautiful scenery.
A hotel where you can enjoy the view designed by that architect, an inn where you can rent a whole building where you can have the scenery in front of you to yourself, an auberge that conveys the taste of the local landscape...
This summer, go to a Japanese inn with a superb view where you can fully enjoy the great nature that can only be found there!
