Tucked away in the peaceful Okuhida region of the Japanese Alps, Hoshino Resorts KAI Okuhida offers a traditional onsen retreat surrounded by soaring peaks and forested valleys. Designed to resemble a classic hot spring village, the ryokan’s spacious guest rooms feature private indoor baths and views of the mountains or river, blending Japanese tradition with contemporary comfort. The restaurant showcases regional flavours with beautifully presented seasonal dishes, while the connected bathhouse lets guests experience some of Japan’s finest mineral-rich waters in both indoor and open-air settings. A perfect base for exploring the nearby Shin-Hotaka Ropeway and hiking trails of Kamikochi, KAI Okuhida is a serene mountain escape where nature and relaxation meet.
