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)

Ensoh: Hideaway Portal to Naoshima & Art Islands

Ensoh strives to surround its inhabitants in naturalness and simplicity, ideals tied strongly to the Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic. It is a creatively restored home surrounded by traditional garden and lush forest. While (supplied) electric-assisted bicycles are the best way to this ‘hideaway’ and from it to the Art Islands, it is hard to believe Ensoh is mere minutes from the local train station. If you seek nature, uniqueness, space, and beauty in your Japanese travels, it is here!
