【Official】Shinshu Shimosuwa Onsen Gingetsu

A post town with a grand shrine and hot springs, where Nakasendo and Koshu Kaido intersect. 

Shimonosuwa- Suwa flourished as the only post town among the 69 post towns of Nakasendo that had a hot spring, as well as at the intersection of Koshu Kaido and Nakasendo routes, and as Monzenmachi in front of Suwa Taisha.
The legendary miraculous spring, Suwa Taisha, which gushed forth due to the divine virtues of Yasaka Tome no Kami, the Wata-no-yu, has healed the tiredness of travelers who come and go from time immemorial.
This natural hot spring is the best hospitality.In addition to the abundant amount of hot water, it is a luxury that is free-flowing from the source.
This facility boasts an excellent location, just a 3-minute walk from Suwa Taisha Shimosha Akimiya a 15-minute walk from Harumiya.
Founded during Taisho era, our establishment operated as a restaurant, and after the war, we operated as a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) in this location for many years.
Although it is a small inn
We have always valued these three things, which are most important in the hospitality industry: safety, cleanliness, and convenience.
Please use this service if you want to travel freely and enjoy making your own choices.
We offer a variety of plans to suit the wishes of our guests, whether you want to enjoy a meal at a traditional Japanese inn, relax and soak in the hot plan, take a spontaneous solo trip on the weekend, or simply want to try local specialty dishes or skip breakfast and dinner.
『Enjoy peace for those who come and happiness for those who leave.]
Peace to those who enter, hail to those who leave.
We look forward to your visit.
