A little luxurious country house that makes Nagano "everyday" - Saku no Sato Miyanosato
This is a house that was renovated in 1991 using the beams of a thatched roof house. Why not spend a relaxing time with your family and friends in the plaster-walled living room and 8- and 10-tatami Japanese-style rooms, just like being back in a country house? Looking up at Mt. Asama, kites fly in the wide sky, and the Usuda Space Observatory is nearby, so the air is clean. There are several hot springs, including Fuse Onsen and Nozomi Sunpia, that you can get to by car. You can also go to Karuizawa, Mt. Nobe, and Kiyosato in about an hour by car, so you can climb Mt. Yatsugatake and trek to Myogi Arashina Saku Kogen Quasi-National Park. A rice-growing area comparable to Niigata, and thirteen breweries of local sake made with water from Chikuma that flows from Yatsugatake and Mt. Asama There are "Pinkoro Jizo", "Tomono Castle" and "Nakajima Park" on the walking course. Within a 15-minute walk, there is a large supermarket, "TSURUYA", and the roadside station "Healthy Terrace Saku Minami" in front of Saku Minami Interchange, so you can enjoy local ingredients using the cooking utensils and seasonings in the house. We think it can also be used as a place to experience the lifestyle of those who are thinking of moving here. Reservations are requested for 2 people, so the price is set from the price per night for 2 people, and for 3 people or more, an additional 5,000 yen per person will be charged.

8weeks Fujimi: An inn where you can spend more time with your loved ones. One group per day. Long stays welcome. A great base for winter stays.
We are renting out another house in the town where we live. There is no TV, but instead there is a grand piano, picture books, and a forest that fills the window. 8weeks Fujimi is a quiet house at the foot of the Fujimi Panorama Resort. During the day, listen to the babbling of the stream and the refreshing wind of the highlands, and at night, gaze at the moonlight with a warm drink in hand. The villa, with its log cabin-style interior and grand piano, creates a space that is both extraordinary and somehow familiar. We moved from the city in 2020 with our then 1-year-old daughter. We were fascinated by Fujimi-cho and decided to move there within 8 weeks. We spent a luxurious time in the rich natural surroundings, and by the time eight weeks had passed, we were thinking, "Let's stay in this town." We named it "8weeks" because we hope that our guests will also spend time here that makes them want to stay. This is the house where I have lived with my 6-year-old daughter, so small children can also stay here with peace of mind. We have taken care to avoid placing items that could be dropped or bumped into as much as possible, and we also have a variety of picture books, musical instruments, and toys.
