Welcome to Kihachikan

Luxury accommodation in Nozawa Onsen

Kihachikan North & Kihachikan South are luxurious, calm and elegant  chalets which can be let as a whole or separately. They are located in the heart of the village of Nozawa Onsen, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

The interiors blend Japanese style with western tastes.

The recent refurbishment focused on working with local tradespeople. The  book shelves, benches, tables and several of the beds were handmade across the valley in Togari. The kitchens, chairs and bedroom furniture were designed and hand built in Nagano. All are made from Japanese woods.
