Shinshusuzaka Tanaka Honke Museum

Stay at Suwa Machiya-style Ryokan with Onsen, a boutique inn housed in a restored Edo-period townhouse. This heritage property features traditional tatami rooms, wooden beams, and a private tea ceremony space, offering serene views of Tanaka Honke Museum at dawn. Just a 3-minute walk from the museum, the ryokan provides complimentary access to local pottery workshops and curated cultural guides. Reserve your stay via the HopeGoo app for exclusive cultural welcome gifts.

Choose Shinshu Textile Experience Inn, located steps away from Tanaka Honke Museum. This heritage guesthouse doubles as an active weaving workshop, where guests can participate in daily indigo dyeing sessions and learn authentic Shinshu textile techniques. Each room features traditional shoji screens and tatami flooring, with handwoven textiles adorning the walls. The inn also provides early access passes to the museum and guided cultural walks. Book through HopeGoo to secure your spot in limited-seating craft workshops.

Walk just 5 minutes along the historic Machi-bori Lane behind the museum to discover Shinshu Old Tea House and Yamano Handmade Pottery Shop. The tea house serves matcha paired with heirloom-style confections, set in a garden inspired by the museum’s collection. The pottery shop showcases locally crafted ceramics, some featured in past museum exhibitions. Both offer exclusive discounts for HopeGoo members and provide small storage lockers for hassle-free exploration.
