A new encounter, a single story. Kanbayashi Hotel Senjukaku. The story began with an encounter. It was in 1929 (Showa 4) when the first president of Nagano Electric Railway, Tohei Kozu, met Lieutenant Helseth from Norway. This meeting in Kanbayashi brought together European and Japanese cultures, creating an entirely new culture or space. It was a groundbreaking event where the culture of a Western-style Hotel was incorporated into a traditional Japanese-style Ryokan for the first time. Furthermore, this encounter became the prologue to the development of Kanbayashi Onsen and Shiga Kogen, now renowned as one of Japan's leading international resorts.

Shibu Onsen is a charming hot-spring town known for its atmospheric streets and nine public bathhouses to visit.At “Sakaeya,” you can enjoy gentle, free-flowing Onsen water blended from two different hot springs.Another highlight is the creative Japanese kaiseki cuisine that goes beyond the ordinary.

Located on a hilltop, our guest rooms on the upper floors and the open-air baths on the top floor offer breathtaking views of the majestic mountain ranges of Northern Shinshu. Enjoy an extraordinary moment while gazing at the vast scenery that you would never encounter in the city. The private open-air bath "TSUBAKI" is equipped with a mini-bar and multimedia speakers. Guests can enjoy a blissful time with a glass in hand, accompanied by their favorite music as background. In the spring of 2021, we opened guest rooms with open-air baths featuring natural hot spring water, which have been highly praised. Our cuisine, made with premium ingredients such as brand beef, Shinshu beef, fresh seafood directly sourced from the Joetsu market, and carefully selected local produce, is truly exceptional!
