ABOUT

About this ryokan

🚠A Cable Car Ride to a Rotenburo Above the Clouds

Nagano · Hishino Onsen Tokiwa Kan

'Kumonosuke,' an Open-Air Bath Above the Clouds

♨️Reached by a 90-second ride on the ryokan's own mountain cable car from the main building
🏔️A panoramic view unfolds across Mt. Tateshina, the Yatsugatake range, and the Okuchichibu mountains
🌲The standard rotenburo, 'Sorafuro,' is an infinity tub carved from koyamaki wood

A Range of Tubs and a Space to 'Reset'

🪵'Ishifuro,' the largest tub, is indoors and stays open even on bad-weather days
💧'Mizufuro,' a cold-water bath around 20°C, cools things off on a hot day
🍃'Totonoi,' a rest deck outdoors, lets the forest breeze reach you directly

Ground-Floor Bath in the Main Building

🛁The grand bath next to the lobby is open late into the night and early in the morning alike
🕚Open from 11:00 AM until 9:00 AM the following day
🚿A wider washing area makes it more practical than the rotenburo for shampoo and the like

The Signature Mountain Cable Car

🚠A private mountain tramway that carries you up to the 'Kumonosuke' rotenburo
🛤️Climbs a 130-meter track, with two cars passing each other along the way — a proper piece of engineering
⛰️Rising to about 1,050 meters through the forest, the ride itself is part of the experience

Kamado Dining, 'Momi'

🔥Fluffy rice fresh from the kamado hearth, served with freshly fried vegetable tempura
🥗The dinner plan pairs a set course with a buffet of side dishes
🍽️Built around local ingredients, changing with the season

The Signature Saku Carp Simmer

🐟The ryokan's signature dish, using carp raised in the clear tributaries of the Chikuma River near Saku
🍶Simmered fast over high heat with a secret sauce and sake, finished tender with no fishy edge
🌿The same clear-water carp also comes as sashimi ('koi no arai'), served with wasabi soy sauce

Forest Rooms at 1,000 Meters

🛏️Ten room types across the main building and Saiuntei annex, from Japanese-style to Western
🛁Saiuntei's maisonette rooms are two-story, each with its own semi-open-air bath
🌳Main-building rooms are designed to sit in harmony with the surrounding nature

Access and Nearby Sights

🚌A free shuttle runs from Komoro and Sakudaira stations (reserve at least 3 days ahead)
🚄About 2 hours by shinkansen from Tokyo, or 40 minutes by car from Karuizawa
🍎Karuizawa Prince Shopping Plaza, the Takamine Plateau, and apple-picking orchards are all nearby

A quiet onsen ryokan at 1,000 meters, wrapped in forest. Ride the signature mountain cable car up to an open-air bath above the clouds, where the peaks unfold in every direction, then close the night with kamado rice and Saku carp simmered soft.
