About The Hotel

Step back in time and experience the ancient healing traditions of Japan at this legendary “Toji” (Hot Spring Healing Retreat). This isn’t just about soaking in natural hot springs—it’s a complete immersion into Japanese culture and history. Nearby, you’ll find Shugendo, the mystical mountains where warriors and samurai once trained. In fact, legendary warlords like Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin came here to heal their battle wounds in these very waters.

At this incredible retreat, you can channel your inner samurai with a range of outdoor adventures like mountain skiing, hiking, trail running, cycling, and mountaineering. It’s not just about relaxing—it’s about experiencing Japan’s wild, rugged beauty the way ancient warriors once did.

And the best part? This onsen is perfectly located as a central hub, giving you easy access to some of Nagano’s most iconic destinations. Within an hour’s journey, you can visit the spiritual sanctuary of Zenkoji Temple, the serene Togakushi Shrine, the famous Snow Monkeys, the charming Nozawa Onsen, the artistic village of Obuse, the highlands of Shiga Kogen, or the world-class ski resort of Hakuba.

In ancient Japan, these routes connecting key spots were called kaido—vital arteries that brought people together. Along these historic roads, you’ll find shukuba machi, traditional inn towns full of cozy accommodations and hot springs, perfect for a stopover.

If you’re searching for a place that blends adventure, relaxation, and rich cultural history, this is your dream destination. Soak in the essence of Japan, where the past and present unite in every steaming bath and scenic view. 🏞️🛶🏔️
