[SALE] Hygge - Cozy Home - | 3BR | Best for Families | High-Speed Wi-Fi
Matsumoto is a place with roots for my husband and I, a place full of memories and love. Unlike the city center, time flows slowly here. Slow down a little, savor the comfort, and regain the flexibility to enjoy. I wanted to help with that, so I created an inn with the theme of "HYGGE". We've designed it so you can relax and spend time with your loved ones in the garden's hanging chairs. You can also use the swing. Remote work is also comfortable with a standing desk and high-speed WiFi. The shopping mall is also within walking distance, making it ideal for long stays. 1-hour drive to Hakuba, popular in winter. Matsumoto has many restaurants and supermarkets, so it is convenient and some people go there every day. 15-minute drive from GFIS and ISON. You can enjoy powerful images with a projector with a 100-inch screen. There are many delicious spring water sources in Matsumoto. We have rental bottles available, so please enjoy comparing the taste as you stroll around the town. We use environmentally friendly detergents that are gentle on Matsumoto's natural environment. Nagano prefecture is a charming place with many highlights. We recommend spending a leisurely day. Please let me know if you would like to extend your stay.

Sanchi, a private rental inn with a panoramic view of the Northern Alps
Enjoy the only scenery here. Located northeast of Azumino, the former Akihina-machi overlooks the Northern Alps. Akishina is a land where the Saira River, Takase River, and Hodaka River merge, and is blessed with abundant spring water. Here you'll find the beautiful scenery and tranquility you want to leave behind We have renovated such an old Meishina building, revived the retro modern space, and made a rental accommodation in a whole house. I wanted you to relax in the Azumino air and spend a lot of luxurious time. It is a 5-minute walk from Meishina Station from our facility, and 2 stops to Matsumoto Station on the Shinnoi Line. It is easy to go towards Nagano. Mt. Nagamine, abandoned lines, Daio wasabi, swaths, etc. are close by. Please enjoy Azumino sightseeing There is a "Maekawa" flowing right in front of you, such as canoeing, rafting, sap, etc. There is a "Longmenbuchi Canoe Stadium" and you can walk there, so it is also a great place to practice. Old Meisho Town is a local town, not a downtown area. The neighborhood is not downtown, so there is nothing.
