Lobby floor fully renovated on August 1, 2018! "Aburaya Tousen" is an accommodation where you can heal your body with the warmth of the hot springs, enjoy heartfelt hospitality, and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Shinshu's mountains reflected in flowing water through all four seasons. This hot spring inn lights a flame in your heart and warms your senses. Once a place where rapeseed oil was pressed and transported, people gathered around lanterns for moments of togetherness. Over time, a bathhouse was built to provide comfort for those seeking healing through hot springs. Now, this inn has expanded its offerings to enhance the joy of traveling and exploring various hot springs. "Aburaya Tousen" invites you to relax at your own pace and enjoy an extended stay while savoring every moment leisurely.

A refined sukiya-style retreat nestled along a lush, verdant gorge. All buildings, including the guest rooms, face the Matsukawa Gorge—spring and summer bring fresh greenery to this “Accommodation in the gorge.” In autumn, it becomes a “healing hot spring” floating amid crimson mountains, and in winter, a “moment of tranquility” wrapped in white. This Accommodation offers breathtaking views throughout the year, in every season. Please take your time enjoying our signature oil fondue in a private dining room.

Surrounded by the lush greenery of Matsukawa Valley, cherished by many literary figures, Yamada Onsen, known as the "inner parlor of Zenkoji-daira," continues to convey the classic and charming atmosphere of onsen through Yamada-kan, a property with over 210 years of history.

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!

The hotel, located at the foot of Shiga Kogen, is convenient as a base for sightseeing to Zenkoji, Obuse, and Matsushiro. Renowned for its Onsen sourced from the famous Hoshikawa Onsen, it offers abundant water with a soft texture that is highly praised. Rooms range from 10 to 18 tatami mats, including special rooms with excellent views. Guests can enjoy karaoke for free. Choose your favorite dishes from the Japanese, Western, and Chinese buffet.
