🏨 Historical Inn Kanaguya歴史の宿 金具屋

Built in Showa 11 (1936), the four-story wooden building "Seigetsuro" stands proudly in the center, with the "Daikoumen" still in use today. The solemn appearance crafted by skilled palace carpenters is thoughtfully designed throughout the building, allowing visitors to feel as if they have returned to the early Showa era. There are a total of 29 guest rooms, all traditional Japanese-style rooms. These include rooms featuring ornate folding screens and decorative windows, as well as rooms that mimic the architecture of affluent farmhouses; the style and partitions of the rooms vary according to the trends of the construction era. While specific rooms cannot be designated, guests can choose from three types: special rooms (traditional rooms crafted by palace carpenters), spacious Japanese-style rooms (later remodeled), among others. The 100% natural hot spring, which flows directly from the source, is also a signature of Kanaguya. It boasts four private sources and eight bathing areas, each with distinct mineral qualities and characteristics, allowing guests to enjoy the pleasure of various hot springs. Meals are served in the style known as "banquet kaiseki," featuring local chicken, Shinshu salmon, shiitake mushroom dishes, and multiple courses made with seasonal, healthy ingredients.

Room selection cannot be specified, but options are available from types such as the special room (traditional room crafted by palace artisans). An architectural tour is held in the building every evening. Smoking is completely prohibited inside the premises. Due to being a traditional building, wheelchair access is not available for movement within the facility.
