Over 300 years ago, Shimo-Suwa Onsen prospered as a post town where the Koshu Kaido and Nakasendo roads met. Established in the Edo period as the principal inn (honjin) of Shimo-Suwa on the Nakasendo route, "Chosenkaku Kameya" later became a renowned retreat cherished by literary icons such as Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Tekkan and Akiko Yosano, and Toson Shimazaki during the Meiji era. Following a full renovation in November 2013, the inn now harmoniously combines the grace of its storied past with the comforts of the present. Guests can unwind in an atmosphere steeped in history and culture, gazing upon the traditional Rinsen-style garden once admired by travelers of old, or visiting the "Jodan-no-Ma" room, associated with Princess Kazunomiya and imbued with the romantic spirit of the late Edo period (19th century).
