Overview

Hotel Épinard Nasu places you in the fresh air of Nasu Highlands, one of Tochigi’s most loved resort areas. You stay surrounded by nature, with hot springs, an indoor pool, restaurants, family-friendly activities, forest walks, and easy access to nearby sightseeing spots. From Tokyo, you can reach the area by train and use the hotel’s free shuttle from JR Nasu-Shiobara Station with advance reservation, making the trip smooth even without a car.

This is a strong choice when you want a full resort stay rather than just a room for the night. You can soak in the onsen, swim in the indoor pool, enjoy Nasu ingredients at dinner, join outdoor activities, or spend quiet time looking out toward the highland scenery. With 314 rooms and a large 50,000-tsubo site, the hotel gives you plenty of space to relax, play, and shape the stay around your own pace.

Accommodation

You can choose from rooms in the Main Tower, Annex Tower, and Terrace Wing, with layouts suited to couples, families, multi-generation travel, and stays with your dog. The Main Tower includes top-floor mountain-view rooms, newer balcony rooms, Premium EX rooms, and baby and kids rooms, while the Annex Tower offers larger EX rooms, Kizuna rooms for time with family or friends, Chuggington rooms, and Welcome Baby-certified rooms.

If you want a more open view, choose a mountain-facing room where you can look out toward the Nasu mountain range. If you travel with children, the baby and kids rooms make the stay easier with playful details and child-friendly features. If you travel with your dog, the Terrace Wing gives you a separate pet-friendly space where you can stay more comfortably with your pet.

You can also stay connected when you need to, with wireless internet available in rooms, the lobby, and the tea lounge.

Dining

Dining at Hotel Épinard Nasu brings you close to the flavors of the highlands. Nasu is known for rich produce, and the hotel makes the most of local ingredients through French cuisine, Japanese dining, buffet meals, bakery items, café options, and evening drinks.

At Méli Mél’Anges, you can enjoy Nasu French cuisine with views of the Nasu mountain range and vegetables sourced directly from farms. At Washoku Dining Nasuno, you can taste Japanese cuisine that keeps the focus on carefully selected local ingredients.

For a relaxed meal with plenty of choice, NASU Buffet El-Baje offers more than 100 menu items with fresh local ingredients. Komorebi Table serves hotel-made bakery and café items using Tochigi ingredients, while La Stella gives you a 50-meter-high top-floor bar setting for wine, cocktails, and a slower evening above the highlands

Onsen and Wellness

The hot spring area gives you one of the hotel’s main reasons to stay. You can enjoy a large indoor bath, open-air bath, hinoki bath, jacuzzi, and sauna, all surrounded by trees and the sound of the nearby stream. The natural hot spring is a simple spring, heated and circulated, and is noted for helping with concerns such as joint pain and muscle pain.

You can use the hot spring from 5:00 to 10:00 and 12:00 to 25:00 during your stay. You can also enjoy the baths before check-in from 12:00 on your arrival day and after check-out until 15:00 on your departure day, giving you extra time to relax.

Wellness goes beyond bathing. You can book treatments at La Beauté medical esthetic salon, Spa La paix head spa and relaxation, Healing Salon Nagomi, or Health Salon Elmo. These services pair well with the onsen when you want deeper rest after sightseeing, hiking, swimming, or driving.

Guests with tattoos

If you have tattoos, the hotel does not allow use of the public hot spring baths or pool. Plan your stay with this in mind, especially if the onsen is an important part of your trip.
