Togurakamiyamada Onsen Kamesei Ryokan

Convenient for day trips to see the Jigokudani snow monkeys, spiritual Togakushi Mountain, Matsumoto Castle and so much more. You can see the area on foot or rent a bicycle and ride along the Chikuma River Cycling Path. All of our guestrooms are in the traditional Japanese style with straw tatami mat floors and rice paper shoji screen-doors. All have private toilets. WiFi is available in the lobby. Our American proprietor, Tyler, is knowledgeable and outgoing, allowing us to cater for non-Japanese speaking customers. Traditional Ryokan inn with wooden construction, gardens throughout, onsen hot-spring bath and gourmet meals. Located centrally for the best that Nagano has to offer. Your experience starts in our spacious lobby that offers restful views of the koi pond and central garden. We then lead you to your guestroom, perhaps across the watari roka passageway, by the many tsubo-niwa pocket gardens to one of the detached rooms, each with a private garden. Or perhaps up the stairs to one of the 2nd floor rooms that provide views of the tree-covered hills surrounding the Chikuma River valley. Your onsen ryokan experience here at Kamesei continues with our hot spring mineral baths. Our baths feature natural onsen water flowing 24 hours a day. Both the ladies and the mens bathhouse also have rotenburo outdoor baths. Once you have relaxed in your guest room and soothed your body in the onsen baths, it is time to nourish your body with our meals. When you stay at a Japanese ryokan, meals are an important part of the overall experience. Our kaiseki style dinner features local, seasonal ingredients and the breakfast is a full ryokan traditional breakfast. Staying at a traditional Japanese ryokan gives you a sense of time and place, of here and now. Come and let Kamesei Ryokan provide you with the full ryokan experience during your trip to Japan. We look forward to providing you with our famous hospitality.
