Club Wyndham Chikumakan Nagano is a Ryokan resort – a traditional Japanese property with offerings including breakfast and dinner meticulously prepared from local ingredients, either Western or traditional Japanese futon bedding, tatami flooring, cultivated gardens and indoor and outdoor onsen with natural hot spring water renowned for its skin rejuvenation and healing properties. Many travellers who stay at a Ryokan consider it the best part of their holiday.

This resort also features a spacious contemporary dining room with multiple private dining areas, a snack bar, indoor and outdoor onsen, several open plan resting spaces, and three banqueting halls that can cater for groups up to 130.

The resort’s onsen, Togura-Kamiyamada Onsen, was rated as one of the nation’s 100 Best Onsen by The Forum on Thermalism in Japan. The resort features an open-air onsen overlooking a green garden and a pond with carp, while the indoor onsen has stained glass windows and tiles designed to capture Taisho romanticism. Onsen waters are known for being a luxurious bathing experience and for reducing symptoms of conditions like atopic dermatitis – but please be aware the onsen has strict rules, designed to reflect the traditional standards of Japan and regulatory requirements. You can read more about these under the “Before You Go” heading on the resort page.

The resort has a total of 36 apartments and 16 apartments have been added to Club Wyndham South Pacific and will be available for booking from April 11, 2024:

• 10 x Hotel Standard (Western bedding)
• 4 x Japanese Style
• 2 x Studio Deluxe (Western bedding)

You can find out more about the resort and check out the credit charts here.

Please note: a mandatory fee for breakfast and dinner (which is part of the Ryokan experience) is payable for all stays at this resort (“F&B Fee”). The F&B Fee is calculated on a per person, per night basis and is payable in addition to the credits required for the accommodation. The F&B fee can be paid in cash or credits. Further details about the F&B Fee can be found here.

The Responsible Entity, Wyndham Vacation Clubs South Pacific, has determined that the accommodation is currently of the required standard to become part of the club. However, the Developer is undertaking some improvements of the resort’s common spaces, reception, food and beverage outlets and onsen over the next few months, which you can read about under the “Before You Go” heading on the resort page.

This property will be managed by a Club Wyndham team dedicated to providing you with the service and personalised experience you expect at your club properties.

CLARIFICATION ABOUT EXISTING JAPANESE PROPERTIES

In 2019, Club Wyndham South Pacific acquired points in Sundance Resort Club against which Club Wyndham South Pacific issued vacation credits. This acquisition enabled the club to provide club owners access to all inventory in all 16 Sundance Resort Club resorts for a smaller commitment. The number of credits held by the club in Sundance Resort Club equates approximately to year-round access to 24 apartments.

While owners have access to apartments in the 16 Sundance resorts, the acquisition of Club Wyndham Chikumakan Nagano is a more traditional set-up where the club owns the apartments and a related entity will manage the resort. This will allow the Club to have greater control over the guest experience and the quality of the property.

Thank you for being part of Club Wyndham South Pacific. We look forward to creating an incredible experience for your next holiday – whether you choose to explore new horizons or return to a favourite place.

Warm regards,

The Club Wyndham South Pacific team
