Hotel Épinard Nasu, Resort hotel and restaurant in Nasu, Japan
Hotel Épinard Nasu is a resort hotel in the highlands of Nasu, Japan, with several restaurants, indoor pools, tennis courts, and natural hot spring baths on its grounds. The property brings together lodging, dining, and leisure in a single compound.
The Nasu area became a destination for wealthy visitors after the Imperial Family built a summer residence in the surrounding highlands. The hotel was developed within this context and grew alongside the region's reputation as a place for rest and recreation.
The hotel takes its name from the French word for spinach, a nod to its close ties with French cuisine. In the dining rooms, guests can taste local produce from the Nasu highlands prepared in a French style alongside Japanese onsen traditions.
A free shuttle bus runs between the hotel and Nasu Shiobara Station, which has direct train connections from Tokyo. Visitors coming from the capital should allow enough time for the journey, as it takes a good part of the day.
The hotel has specially designed rooms for families with infants and holds an official certification as a baby-friendly facility. This makes it one of the few properties in the Nasu area set up specifically for travelers with very young children.
