The property underwent renovations in January 2012, specifically to the bath and toilet areas.
Agematsu Town, located in the center of the historic Kiso Valley, was once a post station on the Nakasendo route. The area is renowned as the birthplace of "forest bathing" (shinrin-yoku) in Japan, with the famous Akazawa Natural Recreation Forest located in the western part of town. The town is also home to five of the scenic "Kiso Eight Views," including the dramatic rock formations of Nezame no Toko. A major landmark and UNESCO World Heritage site, the beautifully preserved post town of Tsumago, is a short drive away, offering a step back into Japan's Edo period.
