Ougatou Hotel

Ogato Hotel, located on the summit of the beautiful Utsukushigahara Plateau in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, is a hotel situated at the top of a mountain. It may seem hard to reach, but there's no need to worry as there is a hotel shuttle bus that departs from Matsumoto Station. Despite its old facilities, it has been well maintained, receiving impeccable love from its guests. The reason is clear: the view from Ogato Hotel can captivate anyone with its beauty. Writing or reading a book while matching eyes with the sun at sunset makes one feel there’s nothing better in the world. If that sounds too cliché, you can enjoy a bottle of champagne stuck in the snow. The Moet Chandon I brought tasted even better than Dom Perignon that day. The night sky is also impressively clear, making the stars look like a painting. If you desire the thrill of having nothing but stars above you, it's worth the journey.
