軽井沢の地へ移転
Moved to Karuizawa
明治に入り参勤交代も無くなり、新しい道や鉄道が出来、人が少なくなりました。
そんな中、軽井沢は今迄荒れ地で人が住める状況ではなかったのですが
道や鉄道の普及により整備が進み人が来るようになりました。
その頃の軽井沢は鉄道の職員の町という感じだったそうです。
新しく整備、開拓したので新道と呼ばれ、今でもそう呼ばれています。
当旅館は交通の便に寄り添う旅館なので明治26年現在の場所に移転致しました。
With the start of the Meiji era (1868-1912), the "Kan-koshoku" (the Japanese government's official attendance service) ceased, new roads and railroads were built, and fewer people came to live in the area.
Karuizawa used to be a wasteland that was uninhabitable, but with the spread of roads and railways However, with the spread of roads and railroads, Karuizawa became more developed and people began to come to the area.
Karuizawa at that time was a town for railroad employees.
Since it was newly developed and pioneered, it was called "Shindo" (new road), and it is still called so today.Our ryokan moved to the present location in 1893 to be closer to the traffic.
