Nagano · Bessho Onsen Midoriya Kichiemon

1

Three Baths, Yours Alone

• ♨️Three reservable baths, each pairing an open-air and an indoor tub (Momiji, Sansui and Matsu)
• 🔑Free for guests on a first-come basis, no booking, open until 11am the next morning
• 💧A pH 8.0–9.0 simple sulfur spring — the classic bijin-no-yu, Kakenagashi and soft enough to slough the skin smooth

2

Bathing Facing the Garden

• 🍁The private baths were produced by landscape designer Kazuyuki Ishihara, with the garden in full view
• 🌲Matsu-no-Yu sits deepest in the bath wing, the quietest soak of the three
• ⏱️Thirty minutes is the guideline — but stay as long as you like if nobody is waiting

3

Rooms Named for Plants

• 🌸Eleven rooms named after sakura, camellia, hydrangea and more (ten Western-style plus one glamping)
• 🛏️Rooms with three or four single beds are rare in Bessho — good for families, groups and solo travelers alike
• 🪟Ground-floor Premium and Deluxe rooms fill their windows with the Ishihara garden

4

Shinshu Kaiseki and Sukini-nabe

• 🍲The signature Shinshu-miso sukini-nabe brings together Shinshu's three great meats and open-field vegetables from Shiodadaira
• 🥢A proper seasonal kaiseki, plus a Shinshu Premium Beef sukiyaki plan
• 🍚Breakfast leans hard on local produce, served in the ground-floor dining room facing the garden

5

A Chelsea Gold Medal Garden

• 🏆Planted by Kazuyuki Ishihara himself, a Chelsea Flower Show gold medalist
• 🌿Greenery that wears a different face each season, threading through the whole property
• 📷The view from the terrace is the high point of any stay

6

Light and Green Indoors

• ☕The dining room's free-drink corner pours brewed coffee, local tea and juice around the clock
• 🎁The gallery displays and sells Sanada Yukimura memorabilia and regional crafts
• 🧺Free 24-hour washer-dryers, and whole-inn buyouts from 330,000 yen a night

7

Seven Minutes from the Station

• 🚉From Tokyo Station, take the Hokuriku Shinkansen and the Ueda Electric Railway Bessho Line to Bessho-Onsen Station
• 🚶About a seven-minute walk, with the spa town to stroll on the way
• 🚗Free guest parking one minute away, EV charger included

Opened in 2023 in Bessho Onsen, a spa town with more than 130 years behind it, Midoriya pairs a garden designed by Kazuyuki Ishihara with three reservable open-air baths. Water long known as a bijin-no-yu and Shinshu's seasonal cooking fill one very quiet night.
