"Tamanoyu, Togura Kamiyamada Onsen" is an elegant, tranquil ryokan set on the gentle banks of the Chikuma River in Chikuma City, Nagano Prefecture, and proud of its 100% natural free-flowing hot springs.

The hot spring is a slightly sulfurous, mildly alkaline simple sulfur spring with a soft, silky feel that wraps around the skin, known as a beauty bath. In addition to the large bath, there is a private open-air bath where you can enjoy your own secluded view, as well as many detached rooms with their own 24-hour private free-flowing hot spring baths, allowing for a luxurious, stay-inside-and-relax onsen experience.
