Sanchi, a private rental inn with a panoramic view of the Northern Alps

Take a trip to enjoy the scenery that can only be found here. Located in the northeast of Azumino, the former Meiko-cho overlooks the Northern Alps, Meiko is a place where the Sai, Takase, and Hotaka rivers converge, and is blessed with abundant spring water. There is a "beautiful scenery and tranquility that you want to leave behind" here We renovated an old building in Meiko, revived it into a retro-modern space, and created a rental inn. We put our heart into it, hoping that you will spend a rich and luxurious time relaxing and enjoying the air of Azumino It is a 5-minute walk from the facility to Meiko Station, and you can get to Matsumoto Station in two stops on the Shinonoi Line, so you can sightsee in Matsumoto It is also easy to get to Nagano. Mt. Nagamine, the abandoned railway tracks, Daio Wasabi, Shiratori-toori, and more are nearby Enjoy sightseeing in Azumino The Maekawa River flows right in front of the house, and you can go canoeing, rafting, and sup. There is a "Ryumonbuchi Canoe Stadium" that you can walk to, so it is also a great place for practice. Kyuakashina is a local town, not an urban area, There is nothing around here because it is not an urban area, but but it is recommended for those who are interested in rural living and relocation, or those who are considering living in the area.

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)
