Located in a small village in Nagano surrounded by beautiful mountains, this ryokan is a hidden gem surrounded by the blessings of nature. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, spending time in the quiet flow of nature is truly a healing experience.
The home-cooked meals prepared by the ryokan's couple are a variety of homemade side dishes made from seasonal ingredients. The dishes, made with plenty of homegrown fresh vegetables, are filled with the warmth as if you were invited to grandmother's house.
The public bathhouse within walking distance of the ryokan is also a place for interaction with local people. While soaking in the hot spring, engaging in conversation with local people will allow you to enjoy your trip more deeply.
In the guest rooms of the ryokan, where there is no television, you can only feel the passage of time by looking at the nature outside. Spend an extraordinary time harmonizing with the rhythms of nature while gazing at the mountain scenery.
The nearest Uwajima Station and Yudanaka Station are within walking distance, making access very convenient. There is also a hot spring town nearby, where you can enjoy taking a stroll.
