[2025 Yamanouchi ] Travel Guide for Ichiban yu Hatsu-yu (Updated Apr)

Shibu Onsen Historical Inn Kanaguya is a long-established hot spring inn located in Yamanouchi Town, Shimotakai District, Nagano Prefecture. It was originally a blacksmith's shop for the Matsushiro Domain, but it became an inn in 1758 when hot springs happened to spring up here during restoration work after a disaster. Since its predecessor was a blacksmith's shop, the lord of the Matsushiro Domain at the time named it Kanaguya. Kanaguya is characterized by its luxurious and somewhat nostalgic building. For this reason, it is rumored to be the model for the bathhouse that appears in Spirited Away. Although no Ghibli staff have actually come to cover the inn, it is said that Kanaguya was familiar to director Hayao Miyazaki, who has a villa in Nagano Prefecture. Perhaps due to the influence of these rumors, No-Face is also hiding in the inn.
