At Asama Onsen, Hotel Tamano-yu has been operating since the 18th year of the Meiji era, always prioritizing guests without being bound by tradition or formality, and all staff have strived to provide comfort to guests. We will continue to offer heartfelt hospitality as a property where guests can rejuvenate.

Kikunoyu stands in Asama Onsen, a retreat of the castle town Matsumoto with a thousand-year history. Built in the dignified Honmune-zukuri style passed down in the Matsumoto region, it is a quiet hideaway for adults, rich in Japanese charm. A polished zelkova main pillar and curated artworks create a refined stay. After savoring the gentle feel of natural hot-spring waters in the open-air bath with a pleasant breeze, enjoy an authentic kaiseki course showcasing Shinshu’s seasonal bounty. Just 10 minutes by car to National Treasure Matsumoto Castle. Escape the bustle of everyday life and spend a soothing, restorative holiday.

The main building, a three-story wooden structure originally built in 1928, underwent renovation along with the construction of a new bathhouse wing over the course of a year, and reopened in April 2020. While preserving the charm of the early Showa era, the space has been transformed into a more comfortable and atmospheric environment. With the concept of "Staying with Time," we have carefully crafted the Property using natural materials that age gracefully over time, aiming for simplicity and quality, and paying attention to every detail. Although there are no picturesque Onsen towns or breathtaking views, we believe you will feel the accumulation of time and the beauty of a traditional inn in the space that retains its historical essence. Additionally, the ever-changing scenery of the garden surrounding the building offers endless fascination. Time spent savoring the blessings of the countryside. Moments of release as you soak in the waters. Conversations with loved ones. And moments of stillness. We hope that a day spent at our Property will become an irreplaceable "moment in time" for you.
