I've never stayed at Hotel Tateyama myself, as it's typically beyond my usual budget, but it's always been a dream destination for me. Positioned right at the entrance to Murodo, this hotel boasts one of the best locations on the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, offering unbeatable access to the surrounding trails and landscapes. Unlike mountain huts, it’s a fully equipped hotel with all the amenities you'd expect, so it comes with a price to match the comfort and service level.

Hotel Tateyama is the highest-altitude hotel in Japan, and it combines stunning alpine views with comfortable rooms, exceptional dining, and access to activities like climbing, hiking, and winter sports. If your budget allows, it's one of the most comfortable stays in Murodo and an ideal spot for those who want to experience the Japanese Alps in both adventure and relaxation.
