Togura Kamiyamada Onsen is located in Chikuma City, a small city of 63,500 people in the countryside of Nagano Prefecture, just south of Nagano City. The Chikuma River, Japan’s longest, meanders through the middle of our city and 1252 meter tall Mt. Kamuruki looks down from above. This is the mountain of the legendary Obasute Mountain story, where the elderly (‘Oba’) where taken and thrown away (‘Sute’). On the flanks of Mt. Kamuriki is also the location of the unique Tagoto-no-Tsuki terraced rice paddies. When the moon (‘Tsuki’) rises, it reflects off each individual rice paddy (‘Tagoto’). To the east of the Chikuma River valley is Mori ‘Anzu-no-Sato’, or Apricot Homeland. Located in between Mt. Kamuriki and the Chikuma River is the traditional hot spring town of Togura Kamiyamada Onsen where you can soak in soothing mineral waters at a traditional Japanese ‘ryokan’ inn. Togura Kamiyamada is blessed with the storied river and mountain and valley, and is central to the best Nagano has to offer. Come and make a new page in the story of your trip to Japan.
