Around Mt. Yokote × Historic StaysRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

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.

Kusatsu Onsen has long been known as one of Japan’s finest hot springs and remains a lively, popular destination for visitors. In the Onsen townscape, where traces of the Edo period still linger, steam rising from the Yubatake drifts through the streets, creating an authentic Onsen atmosphere. With convenient access via the Shinkansen and expressways, a wide range of sightseeing routes can be planned, and Kusatsu also serves as a central hub.“Mukashigokoro no Accommodation Kanemidori” is a welcoming Accommodation with 120 years of history that cherishes the spirit and warmth of bygone days.
