I went to Togura Kamiyamada Onsen for the first time. I expected it to be a more desolate area, but it wasn't. There are many hot spring inns and hotels, but there's also a large hospital and a bakery packed with customers, so it didn't feel like there was anything else to do but hot springs. Yuyama-san was a small hot spring hotel that seemed to be hidden in a residential area. There was a Wi-Fi signal on the first floor, but it did not reach the room. There was an air purifier and refrigerator in the room. The bath had bright yellow-green water that looked like it had been filled with bath salts, and it smelled like sulfur. I was allowed to come in even late at night, except during cleaning time. The bathtub is deep enough that you can soak up to your shoulders. This hot spring is heated using a circulation system. I didn't notice it, but it said that chlorine was used for disinfection. There were several affiliated hot spring hotels within walking distance, and we were able to visit the hot springs. Other affiliated hotels had hot springs with flowing water. In the changing room, there was a poster posted at Yuzan Karaoke Box (11:00-16:00) where lunchtime karaoke and hot springs are available for up to 5 hours for 1000 yen per person. Apparently there's table tennis too. Looks like you'll have fun whether you're staying here or taking a day trip.

We are so fortunate a Japanese friend of ours suggested a visit not only to Nagano, but also specifically to Kamesei Ryokan. Most foreign travelers hit the big cities but taking time to leave the crowds and cities was magical. The train from Tokyo to Nagano and on to Togura is easy. We took a little trip out to the Snow Monkey Park from Nagano, I would highly recommend this (in June there are babies everywhere!). Tyler was communicative from the start of our planning. He and Mari are helpful, welcoming, and fun. We had dinners and breakfasts at the ryokan—- you MUST do this. The food is spectacular and a work of art. Fresh and traditional and they will accommodate your needs. On arrival, Tyler gave a great introduction (in English, he is American) to the use of the baths, traditions, and the history of the ryokan. This inn was owned by Mari’s parents and is historic, not housed in a concrete building as some are. The rooms are large and spotlessly clean with private baths. There is a large central garden and the entire ryokan is built around smaller gardens. We did a walking tour of the town with Tyler and interacted with local shop owners, heard local lore, learned the places to eat, drink and even target shoot. I wish we had stayed longer. We traveled from Togura to go south on the Nakasendo Trail. It was a bit of a travel morning but Tyler arranged our bags to be sent ahead to Magome and helped with our train planning. We arrived that evening in Magome flawlessly.

Authentic Japanese-style hotel, the facilities are a bit old but very clean, the hot spring is very natural, a strong sulfur smell washes the skin very slippery and provides 24 hours, the boss, the wife, the waiter, the whole is very warm and worth recommending

Visited on a hot spring tour while staying at an affiliated hotel. This is an evaluation for hot springs only. This hot spring is quite nice. The hot spring water flows directly into the bathtub, which is smaller than the size of the inn. It's not a cycle. The bath feels good too. You can use a massage machine after taking a bath.
