Kakehashi Onsen Ryokan

Tucked at the foot of the historic Kiso Kakehashi gorge, this old inn sits right alongside the Kiso River, and the baths look out over the water. The building is worn in the way that long-established places tend to be, which only adds to its atmosphere, this stretch of the Nakasendo post road has history in every stone, and the inn fits right in.
