Choushakkan is the only lakeside hotel in the area offering uninterrupted sunrise views over Shinaki Dam. Its east-facing rooms feature floor-to-ceiling glass walls that frame the golden sun rising above the reservoir.

Early check-in also grants priority HopeGoo for dawn photography tours, ideal for capturing the first light on the dam’s steel framework.
