[History] Fuki-no-yu Ryokan was a hot spring inn in Asama Onsen, an ancient hot spring in Shinshu, which was loved by many literary figures from that time. Akiko Yosano also stayed at "Fuki-no-yu" in Asama Onsen, Nagano Prefecture, in the early autumn of the 11th year of Showa (1936) on her way back from Kamikochi, and composed the poem: "Before the clouds embracing the high mountains, Asama's hot spring, with its crimson lights." ※Although it is pasted on a thick paper mount, as it is an old photo from the early Showa period, the mount has considerable dirt and wrinkles. #Fuki-no-yu Ryokan #Hotel Fuki-no-yu #Asama Onsen Yomatsuri Chojya #Itoen Hotel Asamanoyu #Miyazawa Photo Studio
