  • Thank you very much for your kind support!

    I stayed for one night with my sister. The Room was very clean and well maintained, easy to use, and we enjoyed the in-Room bath many times (we even did laundry!).We had our meals at a charming traditional house restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere. Everything was delicious, right up to the final sushi!Thanks to the warm hospitality, we were able to relax and enjoy our stay.We also really enjoyed the snacks and gelato provided in the Room.We were blessed with great weather, making it a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us—we will definitely be back!

  • A cozy, home-like accommodation.

    This was my third stay, returning for the first time in a year. Even though some time had passed since my last visit, everything felt just the same—I was welcomed warmly like family, and I’m truly grateful for your hospitality. The Room is comfortable and easy to relax in, and the Onsen has outstanding water quality. I was also delighted that checkout has been extended to 11:00. Above all, my favorite part is the food. Even though Nagano isn’t on the coast, I was able to fully enjoy incredibly fresh seafood, making this a deeply satisfying stay. The only downside is that it’s quite remote, so it’s difficult to visit often. But I heard you’re planning to build new villas as well, so I’ll definitely come back to see everyone again! Thank you so much for taking such great care of me this time too.
