Overview of Tsukimachiyama Tourist Hotel

A ruined tourist hotel standing in the mountainous Tsukimachiyama area.

With the nearby Tsukimachiyama Ski Resort as its main draw, it used to host many winter skiers, families, school and sports groups, and corporate retreats.

Built in the late Showa era, it was a relatively large-scale hotel with 80 guest rooms. The facility featured banquet halls, a table tennis room, a restaurant, a gift shop, and a panoramic public bath. During its peak, it was quite bustling for a mountain lodging.

On the other hand, rumors of ghost stories existed even during its operation, such as 'seeing someone inside at night' or 'noises coming from empty hallways.' However, it is unknown whether these were actual hauntings or merely imagination, building noises, or illusions caused by the darkness. The hotel eventually closed down. After being abandoned for some time, a fire of unknown origin occurred. Part of the building was scorched, and it was left derelict for a long period. It is now a ruin, with the interior showing fire damage, aging, leaks, and areas on the verge of collapse.
