Amazing Onsen Experience

The onsen facilities at Hotel Associa are absolutely stunning. I loved the variety of indoor and outdoor baths, each providing amazing views of the Japanese Alps. It truly felt like a luxurious retreat after a day of exploring. I spent hours relaxing in the soothing waters and experiencing the different thermal baths available.

Idyllic Room Views

From my room on the 15th floor, I had an awe-inspiring view of the mountains. The combination of a comfortable bed and an really good scenery made my nights very restful. Waking up to such a lovely view was the highlight of my stay.

I had a lovely overnight stay at this hotel with spacious, clean rooms and stunning views of the valley. The breakfast options were plentiful and quite delicious. However, the hotel felt a bit dated in places, and I noticed that the breakfast could benefit from more variety as some options were unusual for the morning. Overall, it was a good experience with the convenience of a shuttle service to the train station.
