Grand Mercure Nasu Highlands Resort & Spa is a large-scale resort hotel in Takakuhei, Nasu-machi, set in the forested Nasu Kogen highlands of northern Tochigi Prefecture. Operated under the Accor Grand Mercure brand, the property is built around a resort concept with both indoor and outdoor pools, multiple restaurants, and dedicated kids' play areas, positioning it as one of the more family-oriented hotels in the Nasu Highlands area. Room types span standard twin rooms through family rooms and suites, sized to accommodate multi-generational groups. Dining includes several on-site restaurants covering Japanese and Western menus. The spa offers treatments distinct from the natural hot spring baths found at nearby traditional ryokan, giving the resort a more Western-style wellness offering. With free parking, Wi-Fi throughout, and grounds designed for children, the hotel functions well as a base for exploring Nasu Kogen's hiking trails, Nasu Safari Park, and the area's cooler-climate summer retreats.
