Suzaka Station × Recommended Hotel·Ryokan for family trips

A serene Onsen Ryokan, "Kasenen Senjin Onsen Iwa no Yu," nestled in the mountains of Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture. A mystical place where you can experience the beauty of the changing seasons. The secret to its many repeat visitors lies in the philosophy of hosting travelers while the hosts themselves continue their journey of life, deepening their craft. Every aspect, from cuisine to design to hospitality, cherishes the connections between people. Some things remain unchanged through time, while others evolve with the times—all for the sake of people. Come and rejuvenate your mind and body at this one-of-a-kind, special retreat.

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.
