About this ryokan

♨️A 130-year-old mountain inn with orange iron-rich hot springs beside a waterfall

Nagano · Yama no Yado Meiji Onsen

A Secluded Mountain Inn of Over 130 Years

🏔️A lone inn at 1,500 m on the northwestern foot of the Yatsugatake range, in the Okutateshina Onsen area.
📜Opened in 1888, it served local farmers as a healing bath since the late Edo period.
🌊The Oshidori-kakushi Falls flow right beside the inn, framed by the fresh greenery and autumn leaves of the Shibukawa Valley.

Glowing Orange Iron Springs

♨️The source is an iron carbonated spring at 23.7°C that flows out naturally.
🪟The open-air style bath uses heated, unfiltered spring water at a gentle temperature, with windows that open onto the valley.
🛁A panoramic indoor bath with large windows is also available; both are open 24 hours (cleaning 9:00-11:00).

Cold-Spring Waterfall Bath

💧An utase-yu waterfall bath pours the inn's own cool spring, about 25°C, straight from the source.
🔄Tradition says alternating between the heated bath and the cold spring promotes good health.
🩺The waters are said to help with neuralgia, rheumatism, women's ailments, poor circulation and stiff shoulders.

Stream-Side and Forest-Side Tatami Rooms

🛏️There are 16 rooms: an 8-mat stream-side room overlooking the falls and 8-16 mat forest-side rooms.
📶Rooms have a fridge, TV, phone, kettle, tea set, down futons and yukata, with Wi-Fi throughout.
🚻Rooms have no toilet or bath; guests use shared toilets and the hot springs. There is no elevator.

Homemade Mountain Cuisine

🍲Dinner is a handmade course of seasonal Okutateshina ingredients, with several courses of different size and price.
🐟The signature trout simmered in sweet soy is so tender it can be eaten whole, head to tail.
🍱Breakfast comes in a nine-compartment tray with miso soup blending Shinshu and Kyoto miso, served in the 1st-floor dining room facing the falls and valley.

Wood-Stove Lobby and Viewing Lounge

🔥The lobby looks onto a wildflower courtyard and has a wood stove and mountain photo books.
🪑The 2nd-floor viewing lounge looks down on the Oshidori-kakushi Falls.
🏯There is a banquet hall of about 50 tatami mats, and same-day guests may use the inn from 11:00.

Falls and Nearby Sights

🍁Downstream from the falls, Yokoya Gorge is one of Shinshu's best-known autumn foliage spots.
🏞️Mishaka Pond, famed as the motif of a Kaii Higashiyama painting, is about a 10-minute walk away.
🌲Shirakoma Pond and its moss forest are about 30 minutes by car.

Access

🚗About 35 minutes from Suwa IC on the Chuo Expressway via the Venus Line; free parking for 25 cars.
🚌From JR Chino Station, take the bus bound for Okutateshina (about 40 min) to Meiji Onsen Iriguchi; the connection from the Shinjuku direction runs on weekends and holidays.
🌙Roads are very dark at night, so check-in by 17:00 is recommended.
