Holiday houses in Nakatsugawa

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, a post town on the Nakasendo Road, it is a historic town that has prospered as a producer of Kiso lacquerware since the Edo period. It was built in 1931 in a town that has been selected as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings and still has lacquerware shops. Limited to one group per day without meals, the entire building is available for rent. I think the charm of Hirasawa is the beauty and richness of everyday life. I would be happy if you could stay in this old town as if you were living here, reading, taking a walk, drinking local sake (sake and wine), sleeping and waking up slowly. We also post about our daily life on social media, so please take a look. There is no screen door in the old house in the valley of the mountain, so in the warm season, natural creatures may come in. The building from 1993 is not polished to the last detail. We are preparing to welcome you as cleanly as possible, but we would appreciate it if you could come with an open mind.

Japanese-style lighting/BBQ/Irori/15 minutes by car to Ena City/Private rental for one group per day/Old house Mahoroba

Why we created this private lodging, "Mahoroba" 1. I want people to know a little bit about the wonderful illuminations in Japan. 2. I want to create a spot that can be enjoyed at night, and I want you to value the time you spend with friends and lovers. 3. I want you to experience and enjoy the charm of the Higashi-nochi area of Gifu That's how I feel. 　The charm of our private lodging is the magical lighting in the house. In the evening, warm lighting soothes the heart and creates a special atmosphere. You can also BBQ or dine around the fireplace under the lights. Experience an extraordinary space with friends in this natural environment where you can see the stars in the sky. 　There are also plenty of sightseeing spots, such as the historic castle town of Iwamura, Japan Taisho Village, and Magome-juku, which has a nostalgic atmosphere. Recommended for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and connect with nature with their friends.
