Hotels in Chubu, Japan

Chubu is a mountainous region in central Japan, famous for the Japanese Alps and the UNESCO-listed village of Shirakawa-go with its traditional thatched roofs. Winters bring heavy snowfall (often below 32°F/0°C), making it prime for skiing at Hakuba Valley, while summers are mild (around 77°F/25°C) and perfect for hiking the Kamikochi alpine trails. In spring, you can wander the historic streets of Takayama during the Takayama Festival, with its ornate floats, or visit the Kenroku-en Garden in Kanazawa when the cherry blossoms bloom.
