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.

Limited to 1 group per day, a hidden inn at the foot of Mt. Jonan, Azumino private inn "To."
Azumino private inn. (Tomaru) is a hidden inn surrounded by greenery at the foot of Mt. Jonen, away from everyday life. So the directions are a little difficult... In front of the main house, there is a pasture with a panoramic view of the Azumi plain. At night, you can enjoy the night view of Azumino, and on a clear day, you can enjoy the starry sky. "Tomaru" is a single-family house that is particular about using natural materials, such as pure cedar and plaster walls. Located in a rich natural environment, there are endless ways to enjoy yourself, such as sightseeing in Kamikochi, climbing the Northern Alps, cycling, tennis, golf, rafting, and fishing. In winter, it can also be used as a base for skiing and snowboarding. There is no bath in To.! Please understand. There are many hot spring facilities nearby, as it is a villa area in Hotaka Onsen Village, so please enjoy. I hope you can relax and refresh away from your daily routine.

Nagano Kisoji | A luxurious house carefully renovated with the tastes and culture of 1931
We basically accept reservations for 2 nights or more because we want you to stay in a historic town in the mountains for a while. Located in the town next to Narai-juku, Nakasendo's post town, a historic town that has flourished as a region for lacquerware from the Edo period. It was selected as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, and was built in 1931 in this town, where lacquerware shops are still lined up. Limited to one group per day without meals, you can use the entire house. I think the charm of Hirasawa is the beauty and richness of everyday life. It would be nice if you could stay like living in this old town, such as reading, walking, local sake (sake, wine), and sleeping slowly. We also post about our daily activities on social media, so please take a look. There are no screen doors in an old house in the valley of the mountains, so natural creatures may come in during the warmer months. The 93-year-old building is not polished in detail. We are preparing to welcome you as cleanly as possible, but we would appreciate it if you could come with an open mind.
