Access

About 50 minutes by car. We're located within the Norikura Kogen hot spring area, about 15 more minutes by car to the Kamikochi shuttle bus stop, and about 2 minutes by car to the Mt. Norikura bus stop.

The nearest stop is "Narano-kizaka" bus stop (N-27). From there, walk about 2 minutes toward the mountain, and you'll see the Misuzuso sign on your left.

Check-in is from 15:00, and check-out is by 10:00.

Our front desk closes at 22:00, but we offer self check-in after that: we'll leave a map to your room and your key at the entrance. If you expect to arrive after 22:00, please be sure to call us that day (+81-263-93-2330, 8:00-20:00) to let us know your estimated arrival time.

Weekday stays, or bookings made through our official site, get 30 minutes free, any day of the week. Otherwise, rates start at ¥1,100 for 30 minutes, with ¥550 added per additional 15 minutes. We'll guide you to the private bath at the front desk after you check in.

We have one private bath, about 13 tatami mats in size. It includes both an indoor bath and an open-air bath.

For bookings made through our official site or by phone, cancellation fees are 25% of the total stay from 7 days before, 50% from 1 day before, and 100% for same-day cancellations or no-shows. Bookings made through other sites such as Rakuten Travel, Jalan, or Yahoo! Travel are subject to that site's own policy.

As a guide, for two guests sharing an ensuite room (with private toilet and washroom) on our two-meals-included plan, per-person rates are ¥14,850 on weekdays, ¥16,500 on weekends in regular season, and ¥17,050 on weekends in peak season. Rates vary by room type and season — please check our online booking calendar for exact pricing.

Private cars are restricted in Kamikochi, so access is by bus from the Kamikochi shuttle bus stop (Sawando Bus Terminal), about 15 minutes by car from Misuzuso. Staying in Norikura Kogen is more convenient and affordable than staying in central Kamikochi, and also puts you close to Mt. Norikura.

Mt. Norikura also has a private-car restriction. The Norikura Echo Line shuttle bus runs from the Norikura Kogen Tourist Center to Tatami-daira, about 55 minutes. It typically operates from July 1 to October 31, and reservations are recommended.

Via Route 158 and the toll Abo Tunnel, it's about 1 hour 10 minutes to central Takayama, about 50 minutes to the Shinhotaka Ropeway, and about 2 hours to Shirakawa-go. Many guests use Misuzuso as a base for day trips by car or rental car.
