Bessho Onsen is a villa area embraced by nature, ancient history, and historical sites, loved by many guests as a serene Onsen village alongside literary figures and artists. Renowned figures such as Shotaro Hanayagi and Matsutaro Kawaguchi have stayed at our Property numerous times. It is said that Kawaguchi decided on the title of his work "Aizen Katsura" during his stay here, inspired by the giant katsura tree near the Kannon statue. Kashiwaya Honten, with over a century of history, welcomes each guest with care, incorporating "Japanese elegance," "seasonal aromas," and "warm hospitality" into its architecture, cuisine, and service, offering a tranquil Japanese lodging experience.

In June 2024, a new guest room has been introduced: the "Onsen Premium Room." Enjoy an exclusive in-room dinner featuring A5-grade Shinshu Premium Beef steak as the main dish. Relax and indulge in the 100% natural flowing "Bijin no Yu" hot spring to your heart's content.

A prime location for easily exploring historical sites such as Ueda Castle, the residence of Sanada Yukimura, and the post stations of the Hokkokukaido. Enjoy kaiseki cuisine meticulously prepared by the chef using seasonal local ingredients.

The former Unno-juku on the Old Hokkokukaido is lined with buildings from the Meiji era, offering a scenic view that allows you to feel the ever-flowing "time" that transcends history. At Unno-juku, where sericulture was nurtured, we perceive silk threads as part of our "everyday life," and Joshuya serves as a place to untangle those threads. Joshuya welcomes you with three unique spaces: a Löyly sauna, a bedroom overlooking the street, OMOYA. A bedroom utilizing a sericulture building, OKAIKO. A serene library in a dignified earthen storehouse, DOZO. Meals are provided in collaboration with local establishments, offering Japanese and French cuisine made with local ingredients. Enjoy them paired with wine from Tomi City. Unwind your senses and experience the essence of space in this historic private Property.
