Naka, Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, is a mountain village rich in nature, surrounded by national parks such as Kamikochi, Mt. Norikura, and the Alps. Its location, which is connected to five mountain passes including Nomugi Pass, means that it is about an hour away from Kamikochi, Norikura, Matsumoto, Shirahone Onsen, and Kiso, and an hour and a half to two hours away from Azumino and Hida Takayama, making it an ideal base for visiting various tourist destinations and a trip to enjoy nature to your heart's content. There are three types of hot springs, and you can soak in them at each inn.

Our hotel is a small hot spring inn surrounded by nature at the foot of Mt. Adatara in Dake Onsen.

You can hear the creak of wood as you climb the stairs. A long tatami corridor lined with sliding windows. We have set up a space with a Taisho romance that makes you feel nostalgic and tasteful even with such minor inconveniences. The hot water of Dake Onsen is a simple acidic spring, which is rare in Japan. All baths, including the open-air baths in the rooms, are fed directly from the source. Relax your mind and spend a relaxing time.
