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.

Opened on September 2, 2007. Named “Masuichi Kyakuden” from the owner’s wish: “We would have loved to welcome you into our own home…”. Designed by architect John Morford—who also designed “Kurabu” and the main store of Masuichi Ichimura Sake Brewery—this Accommodation is his vision of where he would want to stay when visiting Obuse. Centered around three earthen storehouses relocated from a long-established sugar wholesaler in Nagano, it comprises seven wooden buildings, with interiors fully furnished in Western style.

Located just a 3-minute walk from Nagano Dentetsu Shinshu-Nakano Station, the hotel offers 166 guest rooms and free parking for over 100 vehicles.
