Bessho Onsen Tamaya Ryokan

Two premium suites have their own source-fed cypress bath; the remaining room categories use the communal indoor and open-air hot-spring facilities.

Bessho Onsen Tamaya Ryokan is a 16-room Japanese stay in Ueda, Nagano Prefecture. Its hot-spring facilities include open-air bathing and indoor bathing using simple sulfur onsen. Some room categories include their own hot-spring bath, while a separate shared private hot-spring bath is not promised.

Room formats include tatami-based rooms, rooms with Western beds and mixed Japanese-Western layouts; bedding and bath details still need to be matched to the specific category. Meals are described as kaiseki or seasonal Japanese-course dining with a connection to Nagano Prefecture. Children are generally accepted, although age bands, bedding and meal arrangements can change by room and plan.

Travel route: From Ueda Station, transfer to Bessho Onsen Station; the property is about a 7-minute walk from there. Recheck the operating timetable and any reservation requirement before travel.

Choose the room category before comparing plans: bath access, bedding, meal inclusion and cancellation terms can differ even within the same property. If bathing is central to the stay, ask how private-use slots are allocated; if meals matter, verify where dinner and breakfast are served and whether the plan includes both.
