[Quiet autumn in Nagano and the Northern Alps] Private rental for up to 12 people | Two types of authentic sauna

Based in Nagano, at the foot of the Northern Alps, embark on a leisurely journey to Hakuba, Matsumoto, Narai-juku, Togakushi, Hida-Takayama and more. November is a quiet season before winter arrives. It is recommended for those who want to get away from the crowds and leisurely enjoy Nagano's nature and historic towns. Drive to various places during the day. When you return to the accommodation, relax in the two types of sauna and the water bath. Please enjoy a quiet time in the countryside while relaxing in a warm room at night. It is a private building that can accommodate up to 12 people, but it is also recommended for couples and small groups. There is also a washing machine and a bathroom dryer, making it comfortable for stays of 3 nights or more. Every day, I go to a different place, such as Hakuba, Matsumoto, Narai-juku, Togakushi, Azumino, Omachi, and even Hida-Takayama. In the evening, I return to the same accommodation and relieve my fatigue in the sauna. Please use it as a base for a leisurely trip around Nagano. You can also come by public transportation, but having a car is more convenient. Free pick-up and drop-off is available at Shinano Matsukawa Station and Meisha Station.Other transfers and sightseeing transfers are available for ¥2,000 to ¥8,000 (return) within 2 hours one-way.Please consult with us in advance for 5 or more people.

Home in Izumo

A simple yet rich rural life that has continued since the Edo period!

Spend a relaxing time with friends around the Irori fireplace. You can enjoy the Goemon bath, kamado, and old-fashioned slow life while feeling the season with the wind and sky patterns (there is a cassette stove, IH heater, and shower). You can also cook with a wood stove and BBQ outdoors.  10 minutes by car from Izumo City Station. Izumo Taisha is 25 minutes away. There is also a hot spring nearby. The 20 tatami mat Japanese-style room is a private bedroom, and the kitchen and toilet are shared. There is a design office in the warehouse, and I work from 8:30 am to 6 pm on weekdays. You can also use the thatched cottage with a good view.  There is also air conditioning, but in the summer, if you open the veranda and hang a mosquito net, the summer night breeze will invite you to sleep comfortably. From spring to autumn, you can hear the nostalgic sounds of frogs, cicadas, and bell crickets.  If you are unfamiliar with charcoal or fire, I can help you if the timing is right. Firewood is free, but please bring your own BBQ charcoal if you use the sunken hearth. It is 1.6 km to the supermarket and 5 km to Izumo Station. It feels good to walk or jog along the Tanabe-michi Road and Kawato-te in the early morning. Please keep pets on the dirt floor. In July and August, please pick blueberries from the garden.

220-year-old Blue Merchant's Mansion with Seasonal Vegetable and Fruit Harvesting Experience

KAIWA NO SATO This old house is an indigo mansion built in the first year of the Bunsei era (1804) during the heyday of indigo. The main house and the sleeping area (a barn where indigo was stored) have been demolished due to aging, but the historic living room and garden have been preserved to allow guests to experience a little bit of that time, and it is used as a farmhouse inn. In the old days, "Indigofera" grew on the fertile land of the Yoshino River basin in Tokushima Prefecture, bringing great wealth to Tokushima Prefecture (Awa Province). Ancient documents on indigo, including cultural properties, are also available for viewing. Enjoy the charm of that era and Indigofera. ==== Feel free to pick and eat seasonal fruits and vegetables from the adjacent fields. * Please enjoy as many figs as you like in summer and autumn.

Home in Shodoshima

Shodoshima, 30 seconds to the sea, you can see the sea from any room

This house is built on the quiet seaside in Shodoshima Town. The house was built just for dusk watching the sea and the sunset.Therefore, I apologize for the large number of stairs on the terrace, but I can never call it barrier-free.(I will do my best to help with my luggage, etc.) However, at the end of the high terrace, there is a glittering, calm and beautiful sea in Setouchi, and a kane-colored sunset that changes faces every day. Forget your time and enjoy the extraordinary. *We are currently not allowing pets to stay. If you'd like some, please contact us before booking. The interior is accessed by climbing the terrace stairs.It is not handicap accessible. Please be sure to accompany small children or adults when climbing up and down the stairs. Also, on rainy days, there are many stairs, so it may be inconvenient. The road in front of the accommodation is not paved. Please note that this may be an inconvenience. There is a lot of nature around the inn, so there are definitely insects.Sometimes insects come in together when opening and closing windows and doors.(Especially at night, insects gather in the light of the inn) We are very sorry, but please refrain from staying if you are not good with insects.

Quan Japanese Room OceanView PrivateSauna Retreat

From the room, you can see the sea that changes its expression every hour, and the sunset can be enjoyed by the sun. With the theme of "happiness", Quan aims to provide guests with various forms of relaxation and peace of mind, including a sauna, throughout their stay. During your stay, please feel free to chat with your host and let us know what you would like to do, while enjoying the beautiful sea views of Onna Village. Please also be sure to read the separate section (‘Other points to note’) when using the facilities. * Sauna is available for a separate fee. ✴︎ The photos of the entire accommodation are superficially connected, but you can enjoy your stay in [1 building rental] with a structure independent from the entrance of each room. ★ Precautions regarding children's accommodation (12 years old or younger) Because the facility is a wooden building, the sound is likely to resonate in the next room. There are no handrails on the stairs in the guest room. Please be careful as the balcony railing on the second floor is wide. In front of the terrace on the first floor, there is a cliff. Please be aware of this when booking accommodation for children under 12 years of age.
