Lovely accommodation with amazing view of rice fields and the Alps. Great for hiking and biking. The owner was super amazing: nothing was too much to ask and he will respond to any request right away.

It’s remote which offer a sense of locality. How the real Japanese family live. Owner is great and helpful. There’s a separate entrance and nice small kitchen. Scenery of Japan Alps is beautiful despite lot of cloud.

I love how peaceful the area is. A real Japanese country house with surrounding farms & mountains view. Really is the zen that we are looking forward to. We can cook and use their living room which is really helpful.

We loved meeting Shino’s who was very pleasant. We enjoyed having access to the bottom level of the house, a great kitchen and dining area. It was also very helpful having a washing machine and drying room.

This farmhouse guest house (simple lodging, no meals provided) accepts reservations for one couple per day. The building is about 35 years old, but visitors can experience growing and harvesting seasonal vegetables. The living room has a hori-kotatsu (sunken kotatsu), and the first floor, where you can relax with no water, is almost entirely reserved for private use. Azumino is located at the crossroads of Kanto and Hakuba/Shiga Kogen, and can be used as a base for sightseeing in Nagano Prefecture. The facility provides a comfortable Internet environment. There is also an attached coworking space (for a fee), which can be used for workcations, resort telework, development camps, etc. It is also used for parties and events, to talk to convalescents, and as a comfortable base for skiing and snowboarding. This accommodation is licensed under the Ryokan Business Law. There is a bedroom, a Japanese-style room (tatami), a living room, and a kitchen where you can cook your own meals or have house parties. The surrounding area offers a variety of activities such as cycling paths, world irrigation heritage sites, sweet stores, eateries, shopping centers, product stores, Azumino Alps National Park, museums, hot springs, wasabi plantations, running, cycling, MTB courses, and driving, making it ideal for consecutive nights stays. Azumino offers a panoramic view of the countryside and the Northern Alps, as well as a wide range of activities! The nearest train stations are Toyoshina Station and Kashiwayacho Station on the JR Hachiko Line, both about 5 minutes by cab; Hotaka Station on the JR Hachiko Line, about 15 minutes by car; and Azumino Junction on the Nagano Expressway, about 10 minutes by car.
When I was a student, I traveled to Japan on a motorbycycle. I also traveled camping out in the car. I met many people during the trip. Traveling is really fun. I hope you will find it helpful during your stay in Azumino.
In the vicinity, there is a large-scale cycling path (15 km), world irrigation heritage, the best sweets shop in Japan, a popular cheap restaurant using plenty of local ingredients, a shopping center, a local production center, the Alps Azumino National Government Park, various museums, and hot spring facilities , large-scale wasabi farm. From the Kanto area, Azumino becomes a branch point of Hakuba area and Shiga-Kogen area, and there are some guests who travel around Nagano prefecture based on this farmstay.
