Overview A hot spring resort surrounded by the nature of Shinshu with the town of old and

This hot spring inn is nestled in a quiet forest that leads to the Chikuma River from the castle town of Komoro, Shinshu, and the town that still retains the atmosphere of an inn town. The abundant nature of Shinshu and the lush garden add seasonal color to the inn.

新鮮に、簡素に

Based on the theme of "Is there anything we can do to make ourselves fresher and simpler?" in the words of Shimazaki Toson, who is associated with our inn, we welcome you with down-to-earth hospitality so that you can relax and enjoy yourself as you are, without getting up on your elbows.
Please spend your time relaxing as if it were another home away from home, returning to your natural state.

Inn associated with Toson Shimazaki

Shimazaki Toson, a great writer of the Meiji era, was assigned to Komoro Gijuku (private school) as an English and Japanese language teacher in 1897, and spent about seven years in Komoro. During this time, he got married, had a child, and decided to become a literary scholar. The person who supported Toson in Komoro was Kumaji Kimura, the president of the Komoro Gijuku, and he frequented Nakasada. He frequented Nakatana-so (Nakatana Kosen at that time). Kumaji Kimura, who had studied medicine in the U.S., noticed that cuts healed faster when he used the spring water near Nakatana. Kumaji Kimura cooperated and opened Nakatana Kosen in 1898.
In "Chikumagawa Tabiyoshi no Uta" (from Toson Shimazaki's "Ochibai-shu"), there is a poem entitled "Chikumagawa Izayofu no Namami no Kishi Ni Ki ni Noboriru Yado ni Noboriru Mukori-shu Mukori-nareru Sakarete Kusamakura Shita Komu," which means "the inn near the shore" is exactly the Nakadanasou.
