Murayama Station (Nagano Prefecture) × Japanese-Style Resort AccommodationRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

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.

Both a 140-year-old traditional Japanese house and a Western-style building rich in Meiji-era Western culture are available for exclusive use. We hope you will experience the beauty of Japanese living that has continued for over a century and the richness of life in Shinshu Suzaka. In your Room, we provide seasonal fruits from Suzaka, the "Fruit Kingdom." During your stay, enjoy beverages such as plum juice made from Shirafuji plums, as well as local sake, craft beer, and regional wines. For breakfast, savor rare sun-dried rice grown locally, which has been highly praised as an exquisite white rice. The grounds, enclosed by walls, are enveloped in tranquility at night. Enjoy moments of stillness as if you have traveled back in time to the Meiji era.

Located just a 7-minute drive from Nagano Station and Zenkoji Temple, and about a 10-minute walk from the Nagano Prefectural Office, our property offers excellent accessibility. Enjoy the natural beauty of the seasons while soaking in our 22-meter-long open-air Onsen with 100% natural brown hot spring water flowing directly from the source. The indoor bath features a different type of spring water with no color and a sulfur scent for variety. Our rooms with private panoramic baths and private Onsen facilities also use the same 100% natural brown hot spring water as our large public baths, making them perfect for those seeking privacy or families looking to relax together. In April 2024, we will open a Finnish-style high-temperature sauna for an enhanced wellness experience. For dinner, savor Shinshu cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients served in your room at your leisure. Unwind while gazing at the serene stream of Susobana River and enjoy moments of pure relaxation.
