🏨 Castle Hotel Kofu

The Castle Hotel Kofu is located in front of JR "Kofu" Station and is built on the site of the old Kofu Castle ruins. Inside the hotel, the nostalgic atmosphere unique to ancient castles is preserved, and you can see thoughtfully designed spaces everywhere. For example, the observation area "Histria Lounge Yu-don," built on the same floor as the height of the old Kofu Castle's tenshu (main keep), allows guests to experience the feeling of an ancient lord overlooking their territory. While gazing at the Takeda Shrine and Koshuyume Street, one can imagine the past scenery of the Kofu castle town.

The spring water is a weakly alkaline low osmosis hot spring, said to have benefits such as relieving fatigue and promoting health. In addition to historical attractions, the hotel showcases many unique designs that highlight the charm of Kofu. The guest rooms are decorated with traditional leather crafts known as "Kōshū Inden," and the lobby and the wooden frames on the 13th-floor ceiling use cedar wood from Yamanashi Prefecture. The hotel's restaurant "Lobby Lounge Tsuruga" offers eight types of Yamanashi-produced wines carefully selected by a sommelier. Breakfast is served as a buffet, featuring local specialties such as Yamanashi's famous dish "Hōtō," the rice brand "Nishikata," local vegetables, and fruits from Yamanashi.
