When many international visitors imagine staying at a traditional Japanese ryokan, they often picture one special moment:

A beautiful Japanese dinner served in a quiet room.

At Aritaya Ryokan, located in Togura Kamiyamada Onsen, this experience is still part of everyday life.

In many modern hotels, guests eat in large dining halls.

But at our ryokan, dinner is usually served in your private room.

This style is called “room dinner”, and it allows you to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing evening without rushing.

Our meals focus on seasonal Japanese ingredients, prepared in traditional ways.

Each dish is carefully arranged and served on beautiful Arita porcelain, a tradition connected to the history of our inn.

You may find dishes such as:

• fresh local vegetables from Nagano
• seasonal mountain ingredients
• carefully prepared fish dishes
• warm Japanese soups and rice

The meal is not just about eating.

It is part of the Japanese ryokan experience.

Many guests tell us that sitting on tatami, enjoying a quiet dinner after soaking in the hot spring, becomes one of the most memorable moments of their trip.

If you are traveling through Japan and want to experience a traditional ryokan dinner, we warmly invite you to come visit Aritaya Ryokan.

Relax in the onsen, enjoy a peaceful evening, and experience a small piece of traditional Japan.

We look forward to welcoming you.
