"Takumi-an" is a private inn in an old house from the early Showa period that has been renovated by the host. It is located in a quiet port town, surrounded by orchards that extend to the port and mountains.The charm lies in experiencing a simple, unspoiled lifestyle. With high-speed Wi-Fi and a separate workspace, a convenience store and restaurant are within walking distance, and a hot spring with a source spring is nearby, making it a great place for long-term stays and workations.From the coast, a few minutes' walk away, you can see the magnificent sunset and Mount Fuji floating in the sea from the cape on the opposite shore (* not visible from the inn). Relax in the garden with a bonfire or a BBQ under the starry sky, and a theater or a comfortable bed in the room.Up to 4 people can use the bedroom on the 2nd floor and the living room on the 1st floor independently, so you can have a particularly relaxing stay. For more than 5 people, you can lay out a futon in the living room, and stay with multiple families and friends in Japan.Sleep on a futon on a tatami mat, and a night surrounded by the sound of fishing ports and frogs, a unique experience in Japan.

Sanchi, a private rental inn with a panoramic view of the Northern Alps

Enjoy the only scenery here. Located northeast of Azumino, the former Akihina-machi overlooks the Northern Alps. Akishina is a land where the Saira River, Takase River, and Hodaka River merge, and is blessed with abundant spring water. Here you'll find the beautiful scenery and tranquility you want to leave behind We have renovated such an old Meishina building, revived the retro modern space, and made a rental accommodation in a whole house. I wanted you to relax in the Azumino air and spend a lot of luxurious time. It is a 5-minute walk from Meishina Station from our facility, and 2 stops to Matsumoto Station on the Shinnoi Line. It is easy to go towards Nagano. Mt. Nagamine, abandoned lines, Daio wasabi, swaths, etc. are close by. Please enjoy Azumino sightseeing There is a "Maekawa" flowing right in front of you, such as canoeing, rafting, sap, etc. There is a "Longmenbuchi Canoe Stadium" and you can walk there, so it is also a great place to practice. Old Meisho Town is a local town, not a downtown area. The neighborhood is not downtown, so there is nothing. Recommended for those who are interested in living in the countryside and relocating to two areas, or those who are considering it.

Anoie ()

This is a house with a superb view overlooking Lake Nojiri. There are several ski slopes (Myoko, Kurohime, and Masao), about 15-20 minutes away, making it a perfect base for winter sports. Enjoy a wood-burning sauna and a stunning water bath. There are no private houses around, so you can also watch music and movies with loud noise. Because it is a house nestled deep in the mountains, we do our best, but there are insects during the warmer months.It snows a lot in winter.In autumn, the leaves are dancing. You must also adjust the fire in the wood stove yourself. It's never an easy home to live in, but with a great view and experience. There is a full counter kitchen with stunning views and condiments and cookers so you can enjoy cooking.(No BBQ equipment)
