[15-minute walk to Matsumoto Castle] [A base for Kamikochi] Matsumoto is a favourite place of ours with roots and memories for both of us. Unlike the city centre, time passes more slowly here. 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. We have rental bottles available, so please enjoy comparing the water as you stroll around the city. We use environmentally friendly detergents that are considerate of the nature of Matsumoto. Nagano Prefecture is a charming place with many attractions. We recommend a relaxed, leisurely itinerary. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to extend your stay.

Enjoy the view of Lake Nojiri, with a private sauna, Anoie (あの家)

This house overlooks Lake Nojiri and has a superb view. There are several ski resorts (Myoko, Kurohime, Madarao) about 15-20 minutes away by car, making it a perfect base for winter sports. Enjoy the wood stove sauna and the water bath with a view. There are no private houses around, so you can listen to music and watch movies loudly. Because it is a house located deep in the mountains, we take the best measures, but in the warm season, insects come out. It snows a lot in winter. In autumn, fallen leaves dance. You will also need to adjust the wood stove fire yourself. It's not an easy house to live in, but we promise you a great view and experience. Enjoy cooking with a counter kitchen with a view, condiments and cooking utensils. (There is no equipment for BBQ)
