Kanaguya : 歴史の宿 金具屋
Iconic 4-story Wooden Ryokan in Historical Shibu Onsen
Northern Nagano
Description
Built in 1936, Kanaguya is a classic representation of the elegant wooden ryokan construction style of that era. Especially noteworthy is the 4-story 'Saigetsuro" portion that is registered as an Important National Cultural Property and gives the image of being right out of an anime movie. Kanaguya boasts 4 separate onsen sources and provides the mineral water 100% free-flowing to the 8 various baths. Each of the 29 guestrooms are built with a distinct layout -- no two are alike. Tours of the Cultural Property features as well as of the 4 onsen sources are available. Guests can have a one-of-a-kind historical ryokan experience here.
