About The TOJIBA Matsukawa-kan
"The TOJIBA Matsukawa-kan" is a therapeutic sauna ryokan in Yamada Onsen, Shinshu Takayama Onsenkyo, Takayama Village, Kamitakai District, Nagano Prefecture, revived from a traditional house with over 150 years of history. The hot water is free-flowing straight from the source at Yamada Onsen, a hot spring with a 700-year history, faintly scented with sulfur and filled with beautiful mineral deposits drifting through the water. It is an outstanding natural hot spring with a pleasantly sharp heat that warms the body remarkably well. Its greatest feature is the sauna area, built with passion by the owner, a sauna enthusiast. It is equipped with the Forest Sauna, where you can be soothed by the silence of the woods and the flames of a bonfire, and the Sky Sauna, a completely private rental sauna on a rooftop 1,000 meters above sea level with sweeping views of the valley and a sky full of stars. The deep cold plunge bath, luxuriously fed with exceptionally beautiful and cool natural spring water from Takayama Village, pairs with it in a class of its own.
