About
Rekishi-no-Yado Kanaguya, a uniquely designed authentic building with over 250 years of history, has been featured in various media and serves as a perfect shooting location that reportedly inspired scenes in the acclaimed film 'Spirited Away.' The ryokan offers five types of private-use hot spring baths, allowing guests to experience the therapeutic waters in intimate settings while surrounded by historic architecture that showcases the detailed techniques of traditional shrine carpentry. Located in the charming hot spring resort adjacent to Jigokudani Yaen-koen, famous for its snow monkeys, this cultural treasure provides a magical atmosphere, especially when illuminated at night or blanketed in snow during winter.
