Slow down, enjoy the comfort, and regain the ability to enjoy yourself. We wanted to help you do that, so we created an inn with the theme of "HYGGE". We have designed it so that you can relax and spend time with your loved ones in the hanging chairs in the garden. You can also switch to the swing. Remote work is also comfortable with an adjustable desk and high-speed Wi-Fi. The shopping mall is also within walking distance, making it perfect for long-term stays. It is about an hour's drive to the popular winter resort of Hakuba. Matsumoto is convenient with its many restaurants and supermarkets. 15 minutes by car from GFIS and ISON. You can enjoy powerful images with a projector with a 100-inch screen. There are many places in Matsumoto where delicious spring water flows from the mountains.
