Yamakanoyu started off as a post town on the former Hida Passage of Takayama from Kiso Fukushima during the Meiji Period.
At the time, it was prosperous as a place for women workers and merchants to stay on their way to their hometowns.
Currently, many visitors come here to tour the post towns on the Nakasendo route, to see the famous Kiso Horses and to enjoy the great-tasting Kaida soba noodles.
Enjoy your stay with relaxing hot springs, cuisine which takes full advantage of local Kiso ingredients and warm hospitality from the staff.
