About this ryokan

♨️Rooftop open-air bath at the highest point of Shibu Onsen

Nagano · Shibu Onsen Suminoyu

🏡With just 12 rooms, this cozy inn welcomes guests as part of the 'family'.

🌄Set at the highest point of Shibu Onsen, the top-floor baths look out over the Hokushin Five Peaks and the Shiga mountains glowing at sunset.
