Guests love the beautiful views of Lake Hamana right in front of the hotel, the buffet featuring locally sourced ingredients from the lake, and the popular all-inclusive service.

“#Hana-re Tabi” – A New Travel Style by Grand Mercure

In April 2024, 22 Grand Mercure and Mercure hotels across Japan reopened under a new brand concept.

Grand Mercure Lake Hamana Resort & Spa is one of them.

Offering journeys across Japan that let you experience stunning local landscapes, traditions, and culture.

They see major cities and well-known tourist hubs as the “main house,” and the lesser-known but beautiful areas just beyond them as the “hanare,” or “detached retreat.” They offer experiences that take you a step further—into breathtaking natural scenery, rich local traditions and culture, and meaningful encounters with the people who call these regions home.

Nestled in the rich natural surroundings of Lake Hamana, Grand Mercure Lake Hamana Resort & Spa has been rebranded as a hotel that welcomes guests with its stunning location and delicious local ingredients sourced from the lake’s bounty.

No extra charges! The appeal of all-inclusive

Grand Mercure Lake Hamana Resort & Spa offers an all-inclusive experience.

The room rate includes dinner, breakfast, drinks and snacks at the lounge, as well as access to the hot springs and various activities—so you can relax without worrying about extra charges.

Starting from 3 PM check-in, you can immediately enjoy the lounge and hot springs, making it easy to make the most of your time.

On the first-floor lounge, you can enjoy a variety of drinks, from soft beverages like coffee and tea to about four types of alcoholic drinks, including beer and sparkling wine.

Starting at 9 PM, the lounge offers a completely different lineup of drinks compared to daytime, featuring whiskey, brandy, shochu, and more—perfect for those who want to unwind and savor a relaxing moment before bedtime while traveling.

The all-inclusive system, where you can enjoy as much of what you like as you want, truly makes your trip even more fulfilling.

We asked the hotel staff for their recommendations ☆ Photo-worthy spot ☆

The spectacular view of Lake Hamana from the top floor, the 13th floor, is highly recommended.

The vast lake stretching out into the distance and the clear, open sky create a beautiful setting where you can relax and lose track of time.

We also recommend enjoying the view at different times of the day.

During the day, you can enjoy the refreshing blue of the lake and sky, while in the evening, the stunning sunset paints the scenery in warm reds.

Starting in April, the space will open as the “Executive Lake View Lounge.”
