On arrival, we hiked a circular route from bus terminal to Myojin pond and then back to bus terminal by another enjoyable route. By staying at this hotel, we could hike from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge the next morning.
Two outstanding features stood out during our stay here.
1) During breakfast, we could sit next to the window and look out to the greenish-blue Taisho Pond in front of the mountain ranges. We also access the pond during sunrise without the crowds. The walk from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge is also very scenic.
2) The dinner was a pleasant surprise with so much to eat. The food was tasty and not overly salty. I had four different kinds of fish as I did not eat beef. Breakfast was equally good.
We did walk out at night to view the stars in the sky.
Highly recommend a stay in Kamikochi to do more trails.



We purchased the Standard Twin Room, but we made sure that it was facing the Taisho Pond. We had some rain, so it was great to be able to sit in the room with the window open and comfortably watch the rains roll by. If we had planned the trip during perfect weather, the Mountain side would be fine for a discount, since we wouldn't have been in the room as much.
We never actually used the Onsen spa, since they have separate rooms for men and women and we wanted to enjoy it together. We spent most of our time hiking and relaxing outdoors anyway.




There was no selection for breakfast, so we couldn't eat it. My husband, who is a foreigner, was not impressed with the bread and other fixed foods that were brought to him. Dinner was either bland or strong, and the taste was extreme. Strong foods sting my tongue. White rice was delicious.







Hotel rate is inclusive of breakfast and dinner. We are very well-fed. Cannot be happier with the food and view.
Staff are excellent. Mr. Mesaki at front office is very friendly and attentive. He can speak English well so we asked him many questions about Kamikochi. He recommended some hiking trails for us. Other staff at the restaurant are very polite and attentive.
Room was great! Well sized. Well equipped. This is considered the "newest" hotel in kamikochi even though it's 60 years old. I'm sure they did some refurbishment and maintenance, because the hotel looks fine.
You can walk from hotel to Kappabashi along the river for about 1 hour, or take a bus for less than 10 mins. Beautiful scenery around.
Highly recommended!
** We stayed from 19 to 21 October. Peak season for foliage. Beautiful scenery.
We stayed in both a western and Japanese style room. The Japanese style was much more comfortable and had views, but otherwise the rooms were clean and comfortable. Taishoike is a 40 minute walk or 7 minute taxi/bus ride from the main Kamikochi area but we didn't mind that. It was quiet and the location on the lake beautiful. We loved this place and couldn't recommend it enough!
• Staying right in the National Park, with full lake view from the room. Just outside of the hotel are trails to key attractions in Kamikochi. We saw wild monkeys wandering around in our evening walk.
• Dinner & breakfast was included in our package and we were fed way more than we could stomach.
• Our room was not very big. Nor was the décor fancy. But it’s clean & well-furnished.
• Surprisingly, the staff spoke very good English and was very friendly & helpful.
• We particularly like their “concierge service”. At a mere 100 yen per piece, they helped us transport our luggage to Kamikochi Bus Terminal. So, we could pick them up at the storage center (the storage fee for our suitcase of moderate size was 500 yen) at the end of the day after our hike and then took the bus directly from there to our next stop.
True, with such good bus services around the region, it’s not a must to stay a night in the mountain. But doing it allowed us to see Taisho lake at dawn & dusk, when the view was the most gorgeous. We’re glad we did it.
