Nestled in a valley along the banks of the Chikuma River, Togura-Kamiyamada Onsen has been rejuvenating visitors to Nagano for 125 years. The hot spring mineral waters, high in sulfur content but with skin-smoothing alkalinity, can be enjoyed at all 30 of the inns and hotels as well as the 7 day-use bath houses. Togura-Kamiyamada became distinguished as a stopover point for travelers after their pilgrimage to nearby Zenkoji Temple and still boasts a lively geisha presence. The 100+ businesses, restaurants and inns showcased here await your visit.
