Ski-in/Ski-out vacation rentals in Honshu

You will be renting the entire Edo period doso.Have a relaxing stay in a country hideaway.

We renovated a two-story earthen-walled storehouse built in the Edo period and turned it into a guest house. Although it is not spacious, a kitchen with an IH hotplate has been installed on the first floor while retaining the atmosphere of a storehouse with its earthen walls and thick beams. The first and second floors are fully air-conditioned for a comfortable stay. You can experience the soundproofing unique to a storehouse, the coolness in summer, and the warmth in winter. There is a sauna facility about 5 minutes away by car, Anekawa Onsen about 15 minutes away, and Kita-Omi-no-Yu about 20 minutes away. There are many tourist spots unique to Nagahama, which has often been the stage for history, in the surrounding area. Hikone Castle, a national treasure, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Nagahama Castle, Ishida Mitsunari's birthplace, Kotani Castle, one of Japan's premier mountain castles, and Shizugatake, a battlefield, etc. It is also less than a 20-minute drive to the Sekigahara Battle site. Besides the area around Lake Biwa, there are plenty of things to enjoy besides history, such as Nagahama Tetsudo Square, Japan's oldest railway station building, the Yanmar Museum, where children can also play, and Kurokabe Square. You can also enjoy gourmet food such as Omi beef, duck dishes, grilled mackerel somen, noppei udon, salad bread, duck, and small ayu.

[1 group per day] Starlit Sauna Hidden Private Lodging/20-minute drive from Morioka Station/Private Retreat Twinkle Stars

A short drive from the city of Morioka. Twinkle Stars, a private rental inn standing alone on a mountain. There, away from everyday life, a special time just for you unfolds at a leisurely pace. Outside the inn, there is a spacious, large wooden deck measuring approximately 350 m². This location offers the open feeling unique to a mountain top, with a vast expanse of sky, where, at night, you can leisurely enjoy the endless night sky and a sky full of stars. One of the unique charms of this property is that, as the city lights recede into the distance, the twinkling of the stars seems even more beautiful. At night, the area around the deck is softly lit, creating a special, almost magical atmosphere in contrast to the pitch-black darkness that surrounds it. In spring, the cherry blossoms bloom, and spending time there while enjoying the scenery is exceptional. Surrounded by the sounds of a campfire, clear air, and soft lighting, you can spend a moment away from everyday life. In addition, we offer an outdoor barrel sauna under the stars. The time spent “reconnecting” in nature makes the stay even more special. A private getaway where no one will disturb you. Have a special evening at Twinkle Stars, surrounded by wide open skies and a sky full of stars.
