The designers of this 1935 luxury hotel clearly had a Swiss chalet in mind. A destination in itself, with lots of history on the walls, this landmark building has a charming library, a woody billiard room, decadent onsen (day use ¥1080, for guests eating lunch at the hotel) and large, ornate but not overdone rooms with claw-foot tubs.
The cafe serves tasty meals; dinners start at ¥10,600.
