    This is our most popular Kamesei Ryokan basic plan☆ ●Hot Spring Enjoy the skin-beautifying 100% natural hot spring water of Kamiyamada Onsen 24 hours a day. The large public baths are divided into two sections, men (a spacious indoor bath and our proud handmade open-air bath) and women (a small indoor bath and two open-air baths), with a rotation system. You can also enjoy the private open-air bath "Shinano Bath" (additional charge). ●Rooms You can choose from five types of rooms that make use of Kamesei Ryokan's traditional goodness and warm wooden construction. ●Meals We offer a kaiseki-style dinner featuring seasonal ingredients and Shinshu mountain flavors prepared by Chef Takei, as well as a typical ryokan breakfast. Many repeat customers come for the food, and the restaurant is very popular. <Dinner menu> Seasonal dishes Vinegared dishes Salad Surprising chawanmushi Tsukuri: 3 kinds of seafood Grilled dish: Shinshu river fish Plate-topped dish Dish with lid Fried dish Bowl Pickles Water dish The dining area is generally the dining area. Chairs and tables are provided, so you can eat at your leisure. (Please note that depending on circumstances, meals may be served in your room.) Note: There is also a "meals served in your room" plan.

Tyler's homemade "Seattle cookies" are especially popular. Kamesei Ryokan is a family-run inn with a relaxed, homely atmosphere. ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ We have received comments from our guests such as, "Staying at Kamesei helped me to recharge my body" and "I was able to take all the weight off my shoulders."
