Tazawa Station × Accommodation With BarRecommended Hotel·Ryokan for groups

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 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!
