LUCY Oze Hatoyama (Katashina Village, Gunma Prefecture), the first facility under Hoshino Resorts' first mountain hotel brand 'LUCY,' which opened on September 1, 2025, will begin full-scale operations on April 29, 2026. Following the overwhelming response with its first year's accommodation bookings selling out in just two weeks, the hotel will further evolve in 2026 to embody its concept of 'The hotel where the best Oze hike begins.' Three new contents for enjoying mountain time will be introduced, and hotel services exclusively for guests, designed to enhance comfort after hiking, will be upgraded.
