The Story

Nestled within a deep valley and surrounded by the mountains of the Yatsugatake National Park you will find Myojinkan Ryokan. While Myojinkan is only a 30-minute drive from the famous castle town of Matsumoto, one feels much more distant from the city here. The narrow, winding road to Myojinkan passes rice paddies, vegetable fields, and gives way to the verdant tree covered mountains of one of Japan's most beautiful protected forests.Guests may feel a world away during their time at Myojinkan, but the experience here is world class.

At an elevation of more than 1000 meters (3000 feet) summers at Myojinkan are cool and comfortable, and in wintertime snow envelops the property and surrounding mountains. Autumn is crisp, the air clear, and the colors of the fall foliage vibrant. Guests may wish to explore the nearby footpaths in search of the local mountain shrine, savor the scent of the pine and cedar forest, and discover the natural beauty of Japan that eludes the traveler who has little opportunity to venture from Japan's cities.

Established in 1931 as a small mountain inn, Myojinkan has emerged as one of Nagano Prefecture's premier resorts. Befitting an inn surrounded by a national park, the people of Myojinkan believe in a way of life that is in harmony with nature.

Myojinkan maintains its own organic farm near the ryokan grounds, where vegetables and rice are grown and harvested for use in Myojinkan's organic kitchen. Here the air is fresh, the scenery natural and untouched, and the cuisine is truly memorable.

    ROOM Zen Shirakaba
    1-4 107 sqm Private Open-air Bath Bed “Zen” speaks to being exactly as one is—unadorned, serene, and at one with nature. The only ryokan nestled within a national park, Tobira Onsen Myojinkan invites you to experience the timeless beauty of the surrounding wilderness in an atmosphere of understated luxury and profound tranquillity. As night falls, retreat to the comfort of a Sealy's king-sized bed, designed to promise a restful night’s sleep.

    Come morning, awaken to the ever-changing colors of the Tobira forest unfolding across the windows.

    ** There is no TV in this room.     ¥ 174,390～ per person (based on double occupancy) *Room rates at the Ryokan vary depending on the season and booking status. Therefore, we provide an estimated amount as a reference.
    ROOM Zen Toji
    1-4 112 sqm Indoor Bath Bed A serene retreat designed around the restorative essence of tōji, traditional Japanese hot-spring therapy. Soak in the private bath overlooking the forest of the national park, breathe in the seasonal scents carried on the breeze, and unwind to the gentle sound of the stream. After your bath, retreat to the tatami space to cool down, savor a cup of matcha or a refreshing drink, and simply let the mind and body rest.

    The timeless ritual of tōji is reimagined as a deeply restorative stay, surrounded by the beauty of nature through the changing seasons.

    ** There is no TV, but there is a projector in this room.

    ROOM Zen Yuya
    1-3 72 sqm Private Open-air Bath Bed To be zen is simply to be — unadorned, unhurried, exactly as you are. Tucked within a national park it alone calls home, Tobira Onsen Myojinkan offers a stay that feels less like a visit and more like returning to nature itself — quiet, elevated, and entirely apart from the everyday. Drift into deep sleep on a Sealy bed built for true rest, and wake to find the forest of Tobira pouring its color through your window, filling the room with morning.

    ** There is no TV in this room.     ¥ 105,618～ per person (based on double occupancy) *Room rates at the Ryokan vary depending on the season and booking status. Therefore, we provide an estimated amount as a reference.
    ROOM Zen Taki
    1-4 85 sqm Private Half Open-air Bath Bed Set in the corner of the ryokan, Zen Taki makes the most of its position — from the living area to the bath, the changing moods of the Tobira forest unfold before you at every turn.

    The flooring draws generously on local timber, letting the warmth of wood ground you even within a national park. The walls and ceiling carry something older still: plant compounds drawn from itadori, persimmon leaf, and mugwort — herbs long relied upon for their natural properties — chosen here for their remarkable ability to purify the air, resist bacteria, and gently reduce harmful substances.

    Let your most precious days slip free of daily noise. Surrender to the beauty around you, to the quiet passage of time, and lose yourself in it entirely. Whenever the mood takes you, ease into the open-air bath in your own room, and let both mind and body settle, slowly, into stillness.

    ROOM Zen Spa Living
    1-4 70 sqm Indoor Bath Bed To be zen is simply to be — unadorned, unhurried. Quiet, elevated, and entirely apart from the everyday.　In the spring of 2021, the Zen collection welcomed a new addition: Zen Spa Living. Its design draws its spirit from the stream that winds around Myojinkan and the moss-laden ravine at its source — nature translated into a room. A serene tatami space holds a Sealy bed, promising the deepest rest. And at the heart of the living area stands a bath of its own, the hot spring water seeming to spill down as if from the heavens themselves — enough to make the noise of daily life disappear entirely. On the wall, a composition of driftwood and moss keeps watch. Bathe beneath it in quiet meditation, and let the stillness take you.

    ROOM Japanese Style Otaka
    1-4 60 sqm Indoor Bath Futon Standing along the headwaters of the Susukigawa, the stream that flows past Myojinkan, Otaka Building takes its name from a piece of local history: long ago, the lord of Matsumoto Castle would come to this area for falconry, resting and restoring himself afterward in the waters of Tobira. Otaka Building was named in that spirit — so that every guest might unwind here just as the lord once did. Take in the surrounding nature from the comfort of a 10-tatami Japanese-style room, or from a Western-style room set before a wide, sweeping window. ¥ 56,250～ per person (based on double occupancy) *Room rates at the Ryokan vary depending on the season and booking status.

The soothing effects of the natural hot springs water are enhanced by the visual expanse before the eyes of the bather.

Setsugekka is open 24 hours, so chances are you will savor this experience with only the forest, moon and stars above.
    Public Bath Myojinkan's main bath includes a large indoor bath with walls of glass framing the deep green forest beyond, and an outdoor rotenburo with only the sound of the forest and water flowing over a rock fall. The crystal clear hot springs here are a warm 42 degrees Celsius, and are known for their soothing effects on the skin and rejuvenating effects on the body. A separate bath with lightly carbonated hot springs water softly cleanses the skin and enhances the body's natural detoxification process.
